What Pro gives you

Rabbithole Pro adds features to storage you already created: shared access, storage updates, automatic cycle top-ups, and encrypted uploads without the base license limits. These features run through Rabbithole, but they do not change ownership: the storage remains your Internet Computer canister.

Short version

The storage license gives you base personal encrypted storage. Pro adds the parts Rabbithole operates for you: shared access, updates, automatic cycle top-ups, and 2 TC of included cycle balance per subscription period.

What Pro includes

These features are available while Pro is active.

FeatureWhat changes
Shared accessYou can share storages, folders, and files, manage permissions, handle access requests, and invite by email people who have not used Rabbithole yet.
Storage updatesAfter you approve the update, Rabbithole can install a new storage code version or storage web interface.
Encrypted uploads without base limitsPro removes the base license limits for encrypted upload size and total encrypted storage.
Automatic cycle top-upsIf a storage needs cycles before an operation or when its balance drops, Rabbithole can top up the canister automatically.
2 TC included cycle balanceEach Pro period includes up to 2 TC for automatic top-ups across your storage canisters. This limit is shared across your storages.

How automatic top-ups and 2 TC work together

Internet Computer canisters need cycles to pay for compute, memory, storage, and network operations. Pro enables automatic cycle top-ups for your storages and includes up to 2 TC per subscription period.

2 TC is not a separate canister and it is not tokens in your wallet. It is the limit Rabbithole can spend on top-ups for your storage canisters during the current Pro period. If you have several storages, the shared limit is spent on the canisters that need cycles.

Automatic top-up usually runs before an expensive operation, for example before a large On-chain Storage upload, or when a canister approaches its safe cycle floor.

2 TC means 2 trillion cycles. On the Internet Computer, 1 TC = 1 XDR. Any USD estimate is only a reference value and changes with the XDR/USD rate.

If the included limit is already used up, Rabbithole can continue with paid automatic top-ups from your balance. This only happens when you enable that setting.

What Pro does not change

Pro adds service features, but it does not make Rabbithole the storage owner.

  • The storage remains an independent Internet Computer canister.
  • You keep control of the canister.
  • For an update, Rabbithole gets only the temporary access window you approve.
  • Pro does not give Rabbithole a bypass path to files or encryption keys.
  • Access rules and vetKey issuance are still checked inside the storage canister.
  • You can top up the canister manually through IC tools even when Pro is not active.

When Pro is not active

Without active Pro, you can still use the storage within the base license: personal encrypted storage within the issued limits.

Until Pro is renewed, features that require Rabbithole are not available: shared access, access management, updates through Rabbithole, encrypted uploads without the base license limits, and automatic cycle top-ups. If the canister needs cycles, you top it up manually.
