or you could try this (which should be blended)

Shader "Unlit/AlphaSelfIllum" {
    Properties {
        _Color ("Color Tint", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
        _MainTex ("SelfIllum Color (RGB) Alpha (A)", 2D) = "white"
    }
    Category {
       Lighting On
       ZWrite Off
       Cull Back
       Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
       Tags {Queue=Transparent}
       SubShader {
            Material {
               Emission [_Color]
            }
            Pass {
               SetTexture [_MainTex] {
                      Combine Texture * Primary, Texture * Primary
                }
            }
        } 
    }
}

Either what Mike said, or you might try the built-in Particles/Alpha Blend shader.

In case someone (like me) is looking for the most basic unlit transparent shader, without texture, lighting, only alpha blending, here is what I’ve eventually made and that works:

Shader "Custom/TranspUnlit" {
	Properties {
		_Color("Color & Transparency", Color) = (0, 0, 0, 0.5)
	}
	SubShader {
		Lighting Off
		ZWrite Off
		Cull Back
		Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
		Tags {"Queue" = "Transparent"}
		Color[_Color]
		Pass {
		}
	} 
	FallBack "Unlit/Transparent"
}

(“Fallback” command is here in case one would export for a very wierd hardware that would not support this shader.)
