Rental System
This guide explains how to rent RPC node access from pass holders and manage your rentals.
Overview
The Thor Labs rental system allows users without Node Passes to temporarily access RPC nodes by renting slots from existing pass holders. This is handled through two separate bots:
ThorRent Bot
Rental creation and payment processing
Renter Dashboard Bot
IP management for active rentals

Managing Your Rentals
Once you have an active rental, use the Renter Dashboard Bot to manage it.

This opens the rental management dashboard.

The dashboard presents three buttons:

Updating Your IP
Click "Update IP"
From the dashboard, click the Update IP button.
Select the Rental
A dropdown appears listing your active rentals:

A modal opens for IP input:
Enter your public IPv4 address
Must be a valid format (e.g.,
203.0.113.50)Cannot be a private IP address
Confirmation
Upon success:
Old IP is removed from the node
New IP is whitelisted

What Counts as an Update?
Setting your initial IP counts as 1 update
Each IP change after that counts as 1 update
When updates reach 0, you cannot change your IP again
Tips for Managing Updates
Set up correctly first — Verify your IP before setting it
Use static IPs — Avoid dynamic IPs that change frequently
Plan ahead — Know when you might need to change IPs
Consider longer periods — More updates for longer rentals
Rental Expiration
What Happens When a Rental Expires?
Your IP is automatically removed from the node
gRPC token becomes invalid
Access to the RPC endpoint stops
Rental record is marked as expired
Before Expiration
Check expiration date in View Rentals
Plan renewal if needed
Save any necessary data
Renewing a Rental
To continue access:
Create a new rental through ThorRent interface
Or contact the same vendor for a direct renewal
Set your IP again on the new rental
Common Issues
"No active rentals found"
Ensure you're using the same Discord account that rented
Check if your rental has expired
Verify the rental was created successfully
"No IP updates remaining"
You've used all your IP updates for this rental
Consider creating a new rental for more updates
Choose a longer rental period next time
"Invalid IP address"
Use a valid IPv4 format
Must be a public IP, not private
Check your IP at whatismyip.com
Transaction Validation Failed
Ensure the transaction is recent
Verify the correct amount was sent
Check that payment went to the vendor's registered wallet
