Access is a Web3 protocol for content creators and publications to improve their monetization and better connect with consumers. Access Protocol offers a new model monetization layer for all digital content creators. By integrating Access Protocol on their site, creators can paywall and enable premium content to ACS stakers. Access Protocol's proposed model allows users to stake to a creator once and maintain access to that creator's content until the user unstakes rather than face a recurring credit card charge. In practice, a user gets ACS tokens and stakes them at whichever creator they’d like to access. Access Protocol introduces a fungible token (ACS) that can be utilized across participating creators, which enables users to have a more consistent experience rather than working through multiple different credit card payment flows.
