Paid providers store your Bag through a contract owned by your wallet.
Select providers
Open the Bag's provider flow and choose compatible providers. The list includes price estimates, location, uptime and capacity. You can add up to five new providers in one operation.
Review funding
Choose your coverage and review the live quote. All providers in the contract share its balance, including any configured outside the app. Adding providers increases the combined cost.
The app calculates the required funding and prepares the wallet transaction. Approve the quoted provider set and amount to continue.
Check progress
After payment, follow each provider's storage state: resolving, downloading or active with a valid proof. Contract activation and file download are separate steps; check that the provider has finished downloading before relying on its copy.
Top up, stop and withdraw
- Top up: fund a target remaining coverage period.
- Stop: remove the selected managed provider through a wallet transaction.
- Withdraw: retrieve the available balance after all providers have been removed.
A provider configured externally may need to be managed elsewhere.
