Type of allocator:
What is your overall diligence process? Automated (programmatic), Market-based, or Manual (human-in-the-loop at some phase). Initial allocations to these pathways will be capped.
Manual
Amount of DataCap Requested for allocator for 12 months:
100PiB
Is your allocator providing a unique, new, or diverse pathway to DataCap? How does this allocator differentiate itself from other applicants, new or existing?
Our allocator will primarily conduct manual audits for two stages: pre-allocation evaluation and follow-up audit during the allocation process.
1.Prior to approving the allocation, an evaluation of the client's principal name, principal jurisdiction, registration number, business location, contact person and title, email address, description of main business, requested DataCap allocation amount, data sample link, proof of ownership or authorization for data sources, confidentiality status of the data (industry secrets, state secrets, or national security), list of storage providers (SPs) for distributing storage deals, storage location and allocation ratio, principles for selecting SPs, and the wallet address for DataCap application will be required. This information will be made public on GitHub and monitored by the governance team and community.
2.During the allocation process, continuous tracking of the client's DataCap distribution records, related SP addresses, storage providers, and other information will be carried out to ensure consistency. This includes maintaining a list of consolidated content identifiers (CIDs) for verified transactions, including transaction CIDs and SP IDs that demonstrate the usage of the allocated DataCap. Clients will be required to provide a description of the stored data and how it is handled. Random spot checks of stored data will be conducted, and appropriate warnings or restrictions on subsequent DataCap allocations will be implemented if the stored data does not comply with Filecoin Plus principles and the initial allocation plan. The credit rating of clients who have successfully allocated DataCap will affect their next DataCap application, with a possibility of increased DataCap for users with a good credit rating.

Cient Diligence Section:
This section pertains to client diligence processes.
Who are your target clients?
Individuals learning about Filecoin,Small-scale developers or data owners,Enterprise Data Clients
Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
The specific due diligence process: We will evaluate the client's principal name, principal jurisdiction, registration number, business location, contact person and title, email address, description of the main business, requested DataCap allocation, data sample link, data source for storage, proof of ownership or authorization, confidentiality status of the data (industry secrets, state secrets, or national security), list of service providers for distributing storage deals, storage location and allocation ratio, principles for selecting the aforementioned service providers, and the wallet address for DataCap application. This information will be made public on GitHub and monitored by the governance team and community. The client due diligence form can be accessed at the following link: https://github.com/NewHuoPool/DataCap-Application//issues/new?template=Client-Due-Diligence-Form.yml.
Additionally, other sensitive information, including but not limited to registration certificates and proof of main business address, will be sent via email to
(NewHuoPool@hotmail.com). These confidential materials, such as registration certificates and proof of main business address, will be used solely for New Huo Pool's due diligence on the client, and will be disclosed to the governance team under a confidentiality agreement and supervised by the governance team.
During the allocation process, we will continuously track the client's DataCap distribution records, relevant service provider addresses, storage providers, and other information to ensure consistency. This includes maintaining a consolidated list of verified transactions' content identifiers ("CIDs"), including transaction CIDs and SP IDs that demonstrate the usage of the allocated DataCap. Clients are required to provide a description of the stored data and its handling. Random spot checks will be conducted on the stored data, and appropriate actions will be taken if it does not comply with Filecoin Plus principles and the initial allocation plan. Warnings or restrictions may be imposed on subsequent DataCap allocations in such cases.
The credit rating of clients who have successfully allocated DataCap will impact their next DataCap application, with the possibility of increased DataCap for users with a good credit rating.
Regular and continuous checks will be performed using various statistical tools such as https://filplus.d.interplanetary.one/ and filfox.info to ensure that the allocated DataCap is not being abused or misused.
DataCap will be allocated in stages. If improper use or abuse of allocated DataCap is identified, we will immediately contact the client and may reduce or even cancel the unallocated DataCap, depending on the circumstances.
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
yes，such as Toggle
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?
Manual tracking
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.

How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
N/A
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
Public Open Dataset (Research/Non-Profit) Public Open Commercial/Enterprise Private Commercial/Enterprise Private Non-Profit/Social Impact
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
We utilize official tools provided by the platform, such as oneoff, booster-bitswap, and ipfs-car. As a result, we have allocated sufficient bandwidth for node retrieval, data downloading, and data verification.
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?
THREE OR MORE regions including unique geopolitical/language coverage, each replica at different physical location, no or minimal VPN,different SP owner operators
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?
We will execute the allocation plan based on your instructions, which means it will not be distributed evenly.
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
We have been using datacapstats.io, CID checker
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
We will provide assistance if the client requires it，and remind and document the specific details of the service providers (SPs) disclosed by the client, as this is crucial during the audit process.
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
We support clients who use VPNs for legitimate purposes.
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?
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
Regular and continuous checks are performed using various statistical tools such as https://filplus.d.interplanetary.one/ and filfox.info to ensure that the allocated DataCap has not been abused or misused. 2. DataCap will be allocated in stages. If any improper use or abuse of the allocated DataCap is detected, we will immediately contact the clients and may reduce or even cancel the unallocated DataCap depending on the circumstances.
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：By utilizing the official GitHub application database, we discover and review client applications.
due diligence & investigation：By organizing, analyzing, and evaluating the information submitted by clients through the issue form, we conduct due diligence and investigations.
https://github.com/NewHuoPool/DataCap-Application//issues/new?template=Client-Due-Diligence-Form.yml
on-chain message construction&community updates & comms：github、slack
client deal-making behavior& tracking overall allocator health：CID checker、AC Bot dispute discussion & resolution：notion、github
Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
In addition to keep records in GitHub, we also plan to cast all distribution records as NFT or use smart contract backup storage when FVM launch in the future. Considering the diligence data that clients don't wanna to go public, we will create a special database to store for data auditing and analysis, and we will be welcome to any auditing.
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 track client transactions and distributions through datacapstats.io, guiding clients to transact and distribute according to the guidelines. We supervise using tools such as CID Checker/Retrievability Bot. As the number of allocation batches increases, the rules require clients to meet higher standards.
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
The following are our practices:
Response Time: We are committed to promptly responding to and resolving disputes. Upon receiving a complaint or dispute, we will initiate an investigation process within three working days and provide an initial response within a reasonable timeframe. We strive to resolve disputes as quickly as possible, minimizing the impact on the entire situation.
Transparency: We prioritize transparency to ensure that all relevant parties are informed about the progress and outcome of the dispute resolution process. We engage in active communication with the parties involved, providing necessary information and explanations. Throughout the dispute resolution process, our goal is to maintain transparency by disclosing relevant data and documents, enabling stakeholders to understand and evaluate the basis of our decisions.
Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
N/A
How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
Before implementing changes, we will allow the community to provide feedback for a duration that depends on the specific circumstances. We aim to give enough time for expressing opinions, providing suggestions, and offering feedback. This may involve open discussions, online surveys, community meetings, or other forms of participatory mechanisms.
1.Communication channels: We will use platforms such as Slack and GitHub to facilitate continuous contact and feedback from the community.
2.Regular updates and reports: We will provide regular updates and reports to the community regarding project progress, decision-making processes, and feedback responses. This will ensure transparency and help the community understand how their feedback influences the decisions.
3.Community engagement: We will actively participate in community activities, including online discussions, Q&A sessions, and other interactive events, to engage directly with community members, address their questions, and explain the decisions.
4.Considering feedback: We will take into account the feedback provided by the community and incorporate it into the decision-making process. After considering different perspectives, interests, and suggestions, we will strive to find the best possible solution.
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 will specifically use the offline hardware wallet Ledger to verify accounts related to DataCap allocation. As we have more clients in the future, we will utilize a multi-signature wallet for added security.
Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?

The Huobi Group, in collaboration with Protocol Labs, has announced the launch of the Huobi Filecoin Incubation Center with a $10M USD fund dedicated to supporting the Filecoin ecosystem. The center will focus on three main areas: incubation, investment, and community development. It will support promising Filecoin developers, promote Filecoin-related academic research, and foster ecosystem development. Both Huobi and Protocol Labs believe that IPFS and Filecoin will be the foundation of the next generation of internet, creating a safer, more equal, and accessible system to distribute and store data - our most valuable asset in the 21st century. Seeing the Filecoin ecosystem’s enormous potential, Huobi believes that similar to decentralized finance, decentralized storage solutions such as Filecoin will lead a new wave of blockchain revolution and bring more innovation opportunities to developers. With Protocol Labs as the technical advisor to the investment fund, the incubation center will provide support for Filecoin developers and the community. The launch of the Huobi Filecoin Incubation Center and the ecosystem fund mark an important collaboration between the Filecoin community and a digital asset services provider. The two together will promote academic research and technical development of Filecoin and foster a stronger Filecoin ecosystem globally,” Wu added. To help develop Filecoin globally, the Huobi Filecoin Incubation Center and ecosystem fund will focus on the following key areas: Incubation. Collaborate with existing Filecoin accelerators and incubators, providing additional courses leveraging Huobi’s advantages in exchange solutions and Asia community. Investment.
