What's the difference between token gating and decentralized unlockable content? tl;dr — token gating is a centralized approach to providing access to exclusive content that mimics the web2 platforms' walled-garden approach (i.e., you don't really own all those ebooks in your Kindle library), while decentralized unlockable content provides true ownership of digital goods via decentralized storage and access.
Metaversal, a web3 venture studio, integrates Darkblock into its Omega RUNNER project to tell more engaging and interactive stories, engage its community of NFT holders in co-creation, and explore new monetization opportunities like giving holders the ability to rent access to their NFTs' unlockable content.

The fact they did demonstrates how unimaginative we've been as a space when it comes to understanding blockchain technology's potential impact on how creators can make a living from their work. At Darkblock, we believe NFTs aren't the business model—they are a key that unlocks business models. Here are four unique income-generating ideas for creators that are possible to develop using the Darkblock Protocol.
