- Recoverable entitlements
Every purchase is a signed receipt a buyer can recover from any device — no lost download link.
- Time-boxed & renewable access
Sell rentals or manually renewable terms instead of perpetual access; another completed purchase renews the term, with no automatic recurring charge.
- Seller-initiated revocation
Revoke a specific buyer's access explicitly for refunds, disputes, or early termination.
- Relying-party verification
The browser SDK verifies signed entitlement ownership offline and can query the public status endpoint when current revocation matters.
Roadmap
Where BitUnlock is headed.
BitUnlock started as payment-verified file delivery and is growing into a general gated-access layer for Nostr commerce — renewable term access, relying-party verification, and beyond. This page reflects current direction and priorities, not a committed release timeline; items may be reprioritized, merged, or dropped.
- Managed access handoff
Turn the shipped entitlement primitive into bounded application sessions or storage capabilities without making BitUnlock the data path.
- Splitting a purchase across more recipients
Beyond the seller and BitUnlock's fee, for stores that need to pay an additional party as part of fulfilling an order.
- Additional payment rails
Payment options alongside Lightning.
- Deeper storefront personalization
More seller-configurable checkout and delivery experiences.
