Encrypted media The Block will integrate the tokenized paywall of Access Protocol, a content monetization protocol on Solana, allowing consumers to purchase subscription content from multiple media or creators through a unified set of tokens. Among them, when users click on the paywall on The Block website, they can "mortgage" or temporarily submit a certain amount of tokens (ACS) to access the content of the website, and each participating media or creator can subscribe according to their subscription cost to specify the minimum amount of tokens a user must stake. Subscribers who don’t want to convert payments into tokens can still pay for subscriptions with credit cards through The Block’s old domain; The Block will initially apply a tokenized paywall to roughly 20% of articles published on its site, Ultimately, it hopes to expand the paywall to all content, "but it may take 5-10 years to achieve this goal." The Access Foundation, which has been funded by the Solana Foundation and StarkWare, expects to launch a token in Q4, when The Block’s tokenized paywall will also launch.
