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,Other (specified above)
Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
All customer applications must undergo a rigorous review, with the level of scrutiny increasing in proportion to the requested Datacap.
Manual due diligence involves:
Identity verification: Requesting necessary documents such as business licenses, business registration certificates, passport information files, etc. (To protect privacy, it is recommended to communicate through email).
Business compliance check: Examining the company's product types, business model, and news status through social media accounts, official websites, and other platforms.
Business background investigation: Researching the client's business history, reputation, and experience.
If an automated approach is adopted, smart contract reviews and the use of KYC third-party tools to verify customer identity would be effective methods.
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
We will pose the following questions (flexibly tailored based on the client's specific situation):
Could you share some information about yourself/your organization, including online social media/website links, and other relevant details?
How much data do you intend to store, what is the source of the data, and can you provide evidence to support this?
What is your initial data storage plan? With which suitable Storage Providers are you currently in communication? Could you list their names?
What is your strategy for uploading data to Filecoin?
Could you share the actual usage scenario of your Datacap allocation to ensure compliance in its utilization?
What type of data content do you store, and does it comply with local laws and the standards and regulations of the Filecoin community?
Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
Initially, we will conduct preliminary KYC on clients based on the questions we set. Once the operational processes are familiar, we will consider incorporating a third-party KYC platform to standardize the business processes.
Third-party service providers: Toggle, Trulioo, Onfido, etc.
Covered questions and regions: KYC services typically encompass aspects such as customer identity verification, Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) checks, etc. They may cover a global scope to ensure compliance with international and local regulations.
Service integration: If considering the use of third-party KYC services, the company can embed KYC service calls on its website, applications, or internal platforms.
Can any client apply to your pathway, or will you be closed to only your own internal clients? (eg: bizdev or self-referral)
Open to any client: The company opts to open its pathway to the public, allowing any interested client to apply. This may include businesses, sole proprietors, or other organizations. This model is typically designed to attract a broader range of clientele, enhance visibility, and expand business. The Greaterheat Allocator encourages diversity.
How do you plan to track the rate at which DataCap is being distributed to your clients?
In the initial stages, Datacap allocations and usage information will be manually compiled into a form. As the volume increases, consideration will also be given to implementing real-time data synchronization through integration with third-party platform APIs.
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 Dataset (Research/Non-Profit),Public Open Commercial/Enterprise,Private Commercial/Enterprise,Private Non-Profit/Social Impact,Other (specified elsewhere)
How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients?
Request provision of primary information such as identification documents, business licenses, official website, etc., to verify the data owner's data source and type.
Request submission of evidence proving data capacity, such as data samples, storage servers, etc.
Based on the principle of trust, require the data owner to sign a data ownership declaration; otherwise, they assume full responsibility for any consequences.
Verify business partners and supply chain by contacting the client's business associates or other entities in the supply chain to confirm the client's status and reputation within the business network.
Consideration will also be given to the use of third-party Know Your Business (KYB) services.
How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
The Greaterheat team has dedicated legal departments and legal advisors to rigorously review the legal and regulatory requirements of the data provider's region. 2. Transparency and community governance are the governing principles of Filecoin Plus. Data content will be made accessible to the community and subject to scrutiny by the entire community.
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
Greaterheat supports all types of data, including but not limited to videos, images, text, etc. It is recommended to continue using official open-source tools for data preparation, such as Singularity.
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
The official governance team's bot is an excellent tool and will continue to be integrated with tools like AC Bot. Random spot checks are also a good method for retrieval.
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?
4+
What geographic or regional distribution will you require?
Available globally in any region, with a minimum of three different geographical locations, and limited use of VPNs.
How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
4+
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?
The selected Service Providers (SPs) do not need to be allocated an equal percentage, with a maximum proportion of 30%. 2. Before allocating Datacap, customers are required to provide an initial SP allocation plan. However, flexibility is allowed, as the actual collaboration with SPs during the business process may deviate from the initial plan. Providing a reasonable explanation is sufficient.
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
Continuing to use official tools is recommended, such as the datacapstats.io tooling and/or the CID checker bot.
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
Custom Rules and Policies: - Rule Configuration: Allow customers to customize selection rules and distribution policies based on their specific needs. - Flexibility: Provide sufficient flexibility to meet the specific requirements and business processes of different customers.
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
GH supports SPs using a limited number of VPNs. For users employing VPNs, enhanced identity verification measures such as KYB checks are implemented to ensure that only authorized users can engage in transactions.
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:
Initial Maximum for Each Client: Clients in the initial stages may be subject to restrictions on the overall cap to ensure fair distribution and prevent misuse. This initial cap can gradually increase as the client's participation and reputation grow in the network.
Dynamic Adjustment of Overall Cap: With improvements in a client's performance and reputation within the Filecoin network, the overall cap can be dynamically adjusted. This encourages clients to contribute valuable data and actively engage in the Filecoin ecosystem.
Allocator Always Follows a "Limited Trust Over Time" Approach: More Datacap is gradually released over time based on the time process, such as doubling the rate from the previous round. For example:
First Round: 512 TiB
Second Round: 1 PiB
Third Round: 2 PiB
Fourth Round: 2 PiB
Overall Cap for Each Client: (2 PiB)
Will you use programmatic or software based allocations?
No, manually calculated & determined
What tooling will you use to construct messages and send allocations to clients?
Yes，the existing notary registry tooling is really nice！
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
We will adopt the following methods: 1. Encourage clients to allocate Datacap to different SPs; thorough and effective KYC, due diligence, and rule explanations are crucial in the early stages. 2. Require clients to regularly disclose transaction information. 3. We will conduct regular checks through the filplus.info website, documenting Datacap transactions and allocations, and verifying them in conjunction with the information disclosed by clients. 4. Upon discovering any client violations, we will issue warnings. In cases of serious violations, we will publicly disclose the client's misconduct in the Slack community.
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 GitHub
• due diligence & investigation GitHub、Due diligence questionnaire, KYC platform
• bookkeeping Github / Excel
• on-chain message construction https://filplus.fil.org/#/
• client deal-making behavior Github CID Check Report and on-chain messaging
• tracking overall allocator health https://datacapstats.io/
• dispute discussion & resolution Google Dispute
• community updates & comms * Github & Slack
Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
Yes,we will use the boost、lotus、singularity and Github repo.
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
We will adhere to the FIL+ guidelines and publicly disclose our allocation decisions and review processes on GitHub.
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.
The tracking of Datacap allocations is primarily done through https://filplus.fil.org/#/ and https://datacapstats.io/. If necessary, dedicated forms will be designed for record-keeping.
Regarding customer tolerance, GH is willing to initially trust that customers are sincere and reliable, but will request evidence such as business licenses, business types, data sources, and data scale.
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
当发生争议时，GH将采取积极措施解决问题：
响应时间：立即暂停进一步 DC 分配，三个工作日内澄清，一周内尝试解决，以促进 DC 分配流程。
透明度：所有争议和解释均应在 GitHub 上公开披露，每一个争议都应得到公平公正的处理。
3、问责机制：Fil-plus按照原则和规则运作；所有 DC 分配均应遵守既定执行。
Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
Updates announcing tool, pathway guidelines, parameter changes, and process modifications require clear and effective communication. The following methods can be considered: 1. Email Notifications: Send email notifications to key participants in the Filecoin Plus ecosystem, outlining the changes and providing links to detailed information. 2. Publish messages on the GH website and the official Slack interactive platform. 3. Update documents and guides on GitHub to ensure community transparency. 4. Conduct webinars if necessary, explaining the details of the changes, and record the session for future reference. 5. Establish a transition period to allow participants to gradually adapt to the new rules and processes.
How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
Allowing the community sufficient time for feedback before implementing changes is crucial to ensure the rationality and broad acceptance of decisions. We believe a period of three months is reasonable.
Simultaneously, we will establish an open community forum, encouraging community members to engage in thorough discussions and express their opinions. If necessary, a simple online feedback form may be designed.
In summary, changes should be implemented following community governance, emphasizing fairness, and transparency.
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?
其他 IT 和 OpSec 保障措施：例如，涉及定期评估的安全审计，包括对公证地址配置、访问控制和多重签名设置的审查.
Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?
No, we are currently unable to provide a direct repository, tools, or existing drafts.
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.
The monetization model aims to provide clear service fees and collateral requirements for both customers and storage providers, ensuring compliance and transparency. While there are no detailed plans currently, considerations can be made in the following areas:
Collateral Pledges:
Customers may need to pledge FIL or other assets to acquire DataCap.
Storage providers might need to pledge FIL as a deposit for participating in notary services.
Service Fees:
Review Fees: Customers may pay review fees when applying for DataCap.
Data Distribution Fees: There might be fees associated with distributing data to storage providers.
End-to-End Service Pricing:
Different service modules may have independent pricing.
Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.
GreaterHeat Pte Ltd (GreaterHeat) is a Singapore-based company focused on the AI and Web3 infrastructure fields. We seamlessly integrate AI technology, blockchain distributed storage, application software development, cloud computing and edge computing.
