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.
Manually verify whether the customer's KYB and KYC information is consistent, such as using enterprise query tools from different countries, etc
Check if the data sample submitted by the customer is consistent with the situation reported by the company or individual
Whether the total amount of data replicas is consistent with the application, and whether the backend screenshot or S3 bucket display is available
Does the data have copyright and comply with local laws
Does the data have storage value, such as its contribution to humanity, society, and so on
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
https://github.com/nicelove666/ipfstt/issues/new/choose
Roughly confirm each question on the existing application form one by one
Here are some examples
First of all, we will check the applicant's company qualifications, such as company information, official website, and scale, and verify their identity by checking the official domain email with the business license attached.
Secondly, we will check whether their data samples have value and copyright relationships.
Thirdly, we will review the detailed information of the SP provided, such as geographical distribution.
etc
Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
The following are some company information query websites in some countries
China - Qichacha (https://www.qcc.com/)
Qichacha is a commonly used online platform in China for querying company information. It provides company registration details, shareholder information, business scope, credit ratings, and more.
U.S. Business Registry is a website used for accessing company information in the United States. It provides access to federal and state-level company registration databases.
Companies House is the official website for accessing company information in the United Kingdom. It provides access to registration and financial information of UK companies.
Japan Corporate Number is a website used for accessing company registration information in Japan. It provides company registration numbers and basic information.
There are still many, I believe they can be found on the internet
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?
every day
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
How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients?
Please refer to the answers to the 12th and 13th questions
How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
Compliance with privacy regulations: Ensure compliance with applicable privacy regulations when processing personal data, and ensure appropriate permission or explicit consent is obtained for the processing of sensitive personal data. Respect intellectual property rights, abide by intellectual property laws, and do not infringe on the copyrights, trademarks, or patents of others. When providing company information, ensure the legal source of the information and avoid infringing on the trade secrets of others. Comply with local company regulations: When searching for company information, understand and comply with local company laws and regulations. Do not abuse query results, and do not use them for illegal purposes or infringe on the rights and interests of others. Understanding data protection requirements: If you collect and process user personal data, ensure compliance with local and regional data protection requirements, including regulations on data collection, storage, processing, and security. Seeking legal professional advice: If you have specific legal issues or questions about specific regulations, it is best to consult local legal professionals to ensure that your activities comply with applicable legal requirements.
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
Support any type of data preparation, offer paid data preparation services, support specific data shards, such as video data, logs, etc
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
In the first round, regardless of the amount of datacap quota applied for, I will only allocate 50T. After being sealed, I will immediately use a retrieval tool to retrieve the complete data and verify whether it matches the sample, to prevent sector size abuse, sector filling, and other situations
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?
3+
What geographic or regional distribution will you require?
Meeting distributed requirements in at least 3 different cities is sufficient
How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
3+
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?
I will not require proportional allocation because the situation of this SP is variable, as long as the existing rules are met, I will regularly use existing tools for inspection
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
Existing datacaptstats.io tools, CID inspection robots, and various browser data, etc
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
If possible, I will try to request them to use official software to distribute the data, or they have better methods
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
Supporting VPN for security reasons will require them to provide a proof of geographical location
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:
Some changes have been made based on existing rules
Firstly, allocate 50T to verify whether the data is consistent with the declaration
Secondly, allocate 10% of the total DataCap requested or 100% of the weekly allocation rate, whichever is smaller, up to a maximum of 1P
Thirdly, allocate 20% of the total DataCap requests or 100% of the weekly allocation rate, whichever is smaller, up to 1P
Fourth: Allocate 30% of the total DataCap requests or 200% of the weekly allocation rate, whichever is smaller, up to 1P
Up to 1P per time, until the overall upper limit is fully allocated
The overall upper limit for each customer is 10P
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?
Existing official tools
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
Using official open-source tools for processing
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
Those who can use official tools should use official tools, while others are as follows
Due diligence&investment, manual review is conducted here to ensure the validity of the data
Dispute discussion&resolution such as GitHub repo, Google spreadsheet
Community updates&comments slip, wechat, github
Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
All use open-source tools from the Fil+team
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
Private information will be stored in one's own notebook, and those that need to be disclosed will be made into a Google spreadsheet, etc
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.
I think using official tools can track these situations very well. As long as new customers pass the review, I think there is no problem, and then conduct data review according to question 21
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
The response time will not exceed 72 hours, as we work here every day. It seems that there are two controversial aspects at present. The first is the situation of inconsistent data. If the data does not match the content of the application, I will ask the customer to explain it. If there is no objection from both parties after explanation, the dispute will be terminated. Otherwise, the remaining datacap will be removed, and LDN will be closed. If the data content does not meet the specifications, the remaining datacap will be immediately removed, LDN cannot be reapplied for even if it is closed due to this. The second issue is with the SP, which is inconsistent with the pre approved ones. LDN will be temporarily closed and the customer will be asked to explain and provide the latest SP information
Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
I will use all official tools as well as GitHub, Slack, WeChat, or other channels to make reminders
How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
5 working days
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?
LEDGER hardware wallet to protect my notarized address, only the technical leader of our team has this password
Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?
no
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.
Technical services are required and will be charged at a rate of 10 fil per occurrence
Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.
Due to our location in China, it is currently not convenient to disclose. We are a technical team dedicated to FIL
