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
Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients.
Firstly, we conduct a strict review of the data, taking into consideration several aspects such as ownership, copyright, public disclosure, and compliance with the laws of most countries. For instance, data that is not recognized by most countries, such as gambling, pornography, blood, etc., will be rejected by us.
Secondly, we will ask for a list of collaborating Service Providers to verify if they comply with our rules.
Lastly, we have an existing template question and answer mechanism that we use to assist users.
Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions.
According to the existing LDN application template
For example, the answer from question 11
Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service?
Yes. Personal data will require proper KYC of the account. Enterprise data may require proof of business license or any acknowledged validation methods
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?
Utilizing existing open-source tools to track daily
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?
Our data review process is rigorous and comprehensive, covering various aspects such as data ownership, public availability, and compliance with the laws of multiple countries. To verify ownership, we conduct business license verification and check for any watermarks on the data sample. We also check whether the data exists on official websites. Our Enterprise KYB services can be searched on national enterprise information query websites or through popular search engines like Google or Baidu in China. With our thorough data review process, you can trust that the data we provide is reliable and trustworthy.
How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements?
We have a policy to decline data that is not admissible in most countries
What types of data preparation will you support or require?
Any type of data within the legal framework
What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway?
Prevailing Lotus tools along with other accessible open-source tools to compare for analysis and evaluation, after the data is downloaded
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?
We have a preference for LDN to have five physical locations, but we require at least four. EFIL+ must have a minimum of two physical locations, as specified in their original storage request. Our KYB/KYC process may exclude specific geopolitical regions from data storage, as required by local or regional laws, on a case-by-case basis in accordance with our policies.
How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution?
2+
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?
According to the existing rules, such as rules of acbot
What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution?
Existing datacaostats.io tooling and CID checker bot
How will clients meet SP distribution requirements?
By complying to existing requirements, with technical support if required
As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN?
VPN is supported for security purposes, which also aligns with the ideal of web3.
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:
According to existing standardization rules
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 tools
Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients.
To ensure the accuracy of customer data, we require customers to disclose their addresses, set up tracking records, and rigorously investigate the customer's stored data. We will also introduce a special customer rating database to monitor customer performance. In cases of low-scoring or poor performance, the customer will receive a warning or punishment. Conversely, we will offer public praise for customers with high data authenticity and storage data diversity. Finally, we will seek the support of community volunteers to participate in monitoring activities.
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
Existing tools such as • client discoverability & applications - spreadsheet tracking and meetings • due diligence & investigation - publicly available information and meetings • bookkeeping - spreadsheet • on-chain message construction - current filplus.fil.org website • client deal-making behavior - current CID checker bot • tracking overall allocator health - current CID checker bot • dispute discussion & resolution - GitHub notary governance repo • community updates & comms - Slack and GitHub
Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?
Yes, almost all official tools such as git hub, https://filecoin.tools/ , Google Spreadsheet, filplus checker app BOT, AC BOT, large datacap requests BOT, GitHub repository, etc
Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?
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 information in question shall undergo a daily review, with all existing official tools utilized to provide support for any data stored by new clients within the framework of the law
Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
We utilize https://filecoin.notion.site/T-T-Dispute-Tracker-d28b93677cb544b48e77b585856601cf , and conduct a daily review of the information and guarantee a response time that does not exceed 48 hours. It is imperative to conduct a stringent analysis of the data to ensure its integrity, and we will take immediate action to remove its data cap if any issues arise. At present, we do not anticipate any unforeseen disputes
Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.
Announce and remind in slack or GitHub
How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?
1 Week
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 will be used to protect notarized address, and only the person in charge of technology 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, we will not deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures
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.
RRM Global launched the R-DataCap10X joint packaging product where users provide Filecoin as pledge, and the platform bears cost of storage hardware, IDC service fees (electricity fees) and technical operation and maintenance services. Both parties jointly bear Gas and real data fees. Users get 50% of output income. The contract period is up to 540 days, the product is already sealed upon delivery, and the pledged Filecoin will be returned after the contract expires. The commencement of output for the product occurs immediately after the batch sale is ended, starting from the next day (T+1), where T represents the date when the batch sale is completed
Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.
Our notary service will not incur any accounting fees.
If you've received DataCap allocation privileges before, please link to prior notary applications.

How are you connected to the Filecoin ecosystem? Describe your (or your organization's) Filecoin relationships, investments, or ownership.
We offer cloud mining and IPFS storage solutions in multiple global locations. Our advanced data centers have a storage capacity of over 1,000 PiB. Our Filecoin storage mining requires powerful hardware for PoRep and PoSt mechanisms. We outsource computation to reduce the need for expensive GPUs and promote user participation through hashrate pooling.
How are you estimating your client demand and pathway usage? Do you have existing clients and an onboarding funnel?
We conducted a thorough analysis of a substantial number of LDN applications, with a particular focus on the allocation of official quotas and the efficacy of data management practices. Our evaluation encompassed a comprehensive assessment of the utilization of available resources and the maintenance of our proprietary data. Our findings provide valuable insights into the optimization of LDN processes and the application of best practices in data governance.
