Loop makes it simple for TokenUnlocks to add crypto payments
TL;DR: TokenUnlocks implemented Loop along with its Stripe integration to unlock the ability for its customers to pay in crypto for all its subscription plans.
Introduction
We’re excited to announce that TokenUnlocks is now live with Loop enabling crypto payments for its subscriptions. As the leading token analytics platform, TokenUnlocks is designed to bring transparency to the world of token vesting. Over 800,000 users have come to TokenUnlocks to gain the visibility they need to navigate token projects and the complex world of tokenomics.
As a platform serving crypto-native community members, investors, and project teams, providing a way to pay in crypto was a critical goal for TokenUnlocks. While they had been utilizing Stripe for fiat subscription payments from their start in 2022, they were finding increasing demand from their user base to enable crypto payments. After doing their homework on potential crypto payment solutions, the TokenUnlocks team turned to Loop for its broad feature set and simple implementation.
Empowering teams to master crypto accounting
TokenUnlocks emerged in response to the growing demand for tracking token investment vesting schedules during the 2021-2022 cycle. Since then, the team has expanded its offerings beyond unlocks, including tokenomics analysis such as allocations and post-unlock claims. They’ve established themselves as the most trusted platform for token unlocks and have evolved into a leading supply data platform.
In a world of asymmetric information where investors often lack insights into the token dynamics, allocations, and vesting schedules of the leading token projects, TokenUnlocks provides an analytics platform to provide visibility and level the playing field. Their data analytics platform aggregates both on-chain and off-chain data to give users clear and actionable intelligence into the token economics of over 3,600 projects. By analyzing smart contracts, whitepapers, and a variety of other sources TokenUnlocks provides transparency around investor allocations, supply schedules, and wallet tracking to help retail investors have the same level of transparency as institutional investors.
The team is composed of professional tokenomics specialists led by Tanawat, or “Tokenomists” in short who have been focused on making the world of web3 more accessible. In addition to supporting over 800,000 users across their free tier and paid plans, TokenUnlocks has seen their data featured in a variety of leading publications including Coindesk, The Block, and Binance Research. Their data has also been featured by the leading web3 information platform Kaito, which also happens to use Loop for their crypto subscription payments.
Enabling crypto payments for subscriptions
While TokenUnlocks originally launched with fiat payments, they knew they wanted to offer crypto payments as an option to meet the demands of their crypto-native user base. As they began to assess solutions, they quickly narrowed in on Loop and decided to move forward with implementing Loop for their crypto subscription payments. Three primary reasons drove this decision.
The first was Loop’s ability to integrate with Stripe. The team was already using Stripe to manage its subscription payments and had configured all of its pricing logic and onboarding flow to work with Stripe. Since Loop seamlessly plugged into Stripe and enabled crypto payments, this allowed them to continue using Stripe as their source of truth for all products and customers. They were able to utilize Stripe webhooks to grant access to their product regardless of payment method since Loop syncs all customer and invoice payment data back into Stripe. This removed the need for any new development work.
The second reason was Loop’s broad coverage of chains and tokens. Loop’s checkout for crypto payments is available across EVM chains and can support payment in any ERC-20 token. This flexibility was key for TokenUnlocks and ensured that they could meet the payment requirements of their customers. They currently accept crypto payments across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Optimism.
Finally, Loop was simple to implement. As noted above, setting up Loop with the Stripe integration meant that there was no rebuilding or duplicating of payment logic. Utilizing an API key from Stripe, the TokenUnlocks team was able to connect their Stripe account to Loop in minutes. Updating the checkout flow on their website was also easy. They simply added a pay with crypto button and then used the checkout links Loop automatically generated for their product plans.
