## Fil One (formerly Storacha / web3.storage successor)

- `storage/fil-one` | trial-only | evidence reported | binding retention-clamped | category cloud-drive
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://www.fil.one/pricing/
- disagrees on identity_kind: `storage/fil-one` says card, `storage/fil-one-storacha-s3-tier` says email
- free tier: No standing free tier: '1 TB free for 30 days · No credit card required' and '1 TB of storage and 2 TB of egress for 30 days'. After that '$5.99 per TB stored per month' with a 1 TB minimum. | unit: TB | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: retention: 30 days (trial) | days: 30 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: '$0 Egress and API requests — Subject to reasonable use.' Explicitly excludes 'CDN-like use cases, where egress runs at many times the amount stored'. | metered: yes
- identity: card
- interface: s3-compatible
- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): retention: 30 days [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap: not stated. retention: 30 days (trial). request-rate: none. Binding constraint is the trial clock, then $5.99/TB with a 1 TB billing minimum.
- interface detail: s3
- tooling: S3-compatible buckets with scoped keys.
- composes with: 30-day trial x unlimited accounts is a treadmill, not storage — the data must be re-uploaded every 30 days and each new account needs a distinct signup.
- reliability: Reasonable-use clause explicitly targets egress-heavy workloads and says they 'will contact you first' — a shaping/ban path for serving use.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: egress
  - dead_end.why: No standing free tier: '1 TB free for 30 days · No credit card required' and '1 TB of storage and 2 TB of egress for 30 days'. After that '$5.99 per TB stored per month' with a 1 TB minimum.
  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: '1 TB free for 30 days · No credit card required'; 'Yes, $5.99 a month. Store under 1 TB and you pay the minimum'
  - [2] 2026-10-21: the older Arweave/Turbo free path: '105 KiB per file', '10 MiB over the lifetime of a wallet, and 10 MiB over the lifetime of an IP range'
