Cient Diligence Section:
This section pertains to client diligence processes.
Who are your target clients?
Small-scale developers or data owners
Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
When a customer applies for a credit limit, they are required to provide SP information, node distribution locations, details on tools used including boost/market conditions, storage methods, and the allocation status of copies. Register this information into the database, and compare it with the report and KYC results during the customer's first round of reporting. Check CID sharing status, retrieve health status, and so on.
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
1.Applicant's basic information and contact details.
2.Applicant's role in this process (Data Owner/Data Preparer/Storage Provider).
3.List the basic rules of FIL+ for the applicant to review and confirm adherence to these foundational rules.
4.Disclose information about the storage provider, including email contact, node location, storage sector methodology (bare metal or distributed storage), boost/market.
5.Data processing methods.
Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
We will enter all applicant information into our database, with detailed specifics as outlined in the aforementioned 12 points.
Can any client apply to your pathway, or will you be closed to only your own internal clients? (eg: bizdev or self-referral)
any client
How do you plan to track the rate at which DataCap is being distributed to your clients?
We have customized a monitoring tool to track customer rates
Data Diligence
This section will cover the types of data that you expect to notarize.
As a reminder: The Filecoin Plus program defines quality data is all content that meets local regulatory requirements AND
• the data owner wants to see on the network, including private/encrypted data
• or is open and retrievable
• or demonstrates proof of concept or utility of the network, such as efforts to improve onboarding
As an operating entity in the Filecoin Community, you are required to follow all local & regional regulations relating to any data, digital and otherwise. This may include PII and data deletion requirements, as well as the storing, transmitting, or accessing of data.
Acknowledgement: Acknowledge
What type(s) of data would be applicable for your pathway?
Public Open Commercial/Enterprise,Public Open Dataset (Research/Non-Profit)
How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients?
KYB service
How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
Based on the content of the data request, we will inquire about data ownership, whether it is of a public data type, and the authorized usage Due to the majority of our serviced clients being in the Greater China region, we ensure compliance with China's data protection regulations, such as the 'Personal Information Protection Law.' These regulations establish rules for handling personal information, including clear concepts of data ownership and protection of the rights of data subjects.
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
Public Open Dataset (Research/Non-Profit)
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
The current robot report and sampled information on SP (Storage Provider) sector orders
Data Distribution
This section covers deal-making and data distribution.
As a reminder, the Filecoin Plus program currently defines distributed onboarding as multiple physical locations AND multiple storage provider entities to serve client requirements.
How many replicas will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
5+
What geographic or regional distribution will you require?
Encourage applications to be distributed across at least 2 continents and 3 different organizations.
How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
5+
Do you require equal percentage distribution for your clients to their chosen SPs? Will you require preliminary SP distribution plans from the client before allocating any DataCap?
For those required, disclosure of this information is necessary, and it should be provided in advance for entry into our database. A comparison will be conducted after the first round of reports is released.
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
CID checker bot
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
singularity
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
Not Supported
DataCap Allocation Strategy
In this section, you will explain your client DataCap allocation strategy.
Keep in mind the program principle over Limited Trust Over Time. Parties, such as clients, start with a limited amount of trust and power.
Additional trust and power need to be earned over time through good-faith execution of their responsibilities and transparency of their actions.
Will you use standardized DataCap allocations to clients?
Yes, standardized
Allocation Tranche Schedule to clients:
• First: 200T
• Second: 500T
• Third: 1P
• Fourth: 3.2P
• Max per client overall: 5P
Will you use programmatic or software based allocations?
Yes, standardized and software based
What tooling will you use to construct messages and send allocations to clients?
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
Allocation (SA) bot
Tooling & Bookkeeping
This program relies on many software tools in order to function. The Filecoin Foundation and PL have invested in many different elements of this end-to-end process, and will continue to make those tools open-sourced. Our goal is to increase adoption, and we will balance customization with efficiency.
This section will cover the various UX/UI tools for your pathway. You should think high-level (GitHub repo architecture) as well as tactical (specific bots and API endoints).
Describe in as much detail as possible the tools used for:
• client discoverability & applications
• due diligence & investigation
• bookkeeping
• on-chain message construction
• client deal-making behavior
• tracking overall allocator health
• dispute discussion & resolution
• community updates & comms
• client discoverability & applications singularity/boost
• due diligence & investigation kyc airtable
• bookkeeping Google
• on-chain message construction Ledger
• client deal-making behavior Retrieve robot reports
• tracking overall allocator health robot reports
• dispute discussion & resolution github
• community updates & comms * slack，github
Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
Using Singularity for Data Distribution and Monitoring
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
We will make all records public on GitHub for community review
Risk Mitigation, Auditing, Compliance
This framework ensures the responsible allocation of DataCap by conducting regular audits, enforcing strict compliance checks, and requiring allocators to maintain transparency and engage with the community. This approach safeguards the ecosystem, deters misuse, and upholds the commitment to a fair and accountable storage marketplace.
In addition to setting their own rules, each notary allocator will be responsible for managing compliance within their own pathway. You will need to audit your own clients, manage interventions (such as removing DataCap from clients and keeping records), and respond to disputes.
Describe your proposed compliance check mechanisms for your own clients.
We will customize and develop corresponding monitoring programs to integrate with existing robot reports, triggering them periodically. There will be a relatively high tolerance for the first round of allocation issues. There is zero tolerance for the abuse of DC situations.
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
We will promptly monitor the community's controversies regarding LDN. We believe more in letting the data speak, and if there is no way to explain the issues that arise, the rules will be automatically triggered to close. Of course, there is zero tolerance for the misuse or padding of data.
Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
Utilize a combination of communication channels such as email, dedicated collaboration platforms (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams), and an internal portal or website. Ensure the chosen channels are accessible to all relevant stakeholders.
How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
A quarter of a year
Regarding security, how will you structure and secure the on-chain notary address? If you will utilize a multisig, how will it be structured? Who will have administrative & signatory rights?
We use a hardware wallet to store this private key, and only the authorized person has the right to sign.
Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?
No plans at the moment.
Monetization
While the Filecoin Foundation and PL will continue to make investments into developing the program and open-sourcing tools, we are also striving to expand and encourage high levels of service and professionalism through these new Notary Allocator pathways. These pathways require increasingly complex tooling and auditing platforms, and we understand that Notaries (and the teams and organizations responsible) are making investments into building effective systems.
It is reasonable for teams building services in this marketplace to include monetization structures. Our primary guiding principles in this regard are transparency and equity. We require these monetization pathways to be clear, consistent, and auditable.
Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway.
