10 months ago Datacap Allocation Strategy
29. Will you use standardized DataCap allocations to clients? • Yes
**Either in a single size (eg only ever giving 64GiB) or standard scale
31. Will you use programmatic or software based allocations? • Yes
32. What tooling will you use to construct messages and send allocations to clients? For example, the existing notary registry tooling at https://filplus.fil.org/#/ • Existing notary registration to
33. Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients. Will you use certain criteria for starting a subsequent allocation request, such as the percentage of DataCap remaining? Will you use open-source tooling such as the Subsequent Allocation (SA) bot, or other automated tooling? • We will strictly monitor and track the usage of DataCap, and each task will be used to evaluate the customer's reputation. 1. Determine some details of its allocation plan through the use of planning and further investigation. We will check if>75% of dataCap has been used up? Then check if the SP number is the same as the plan, and there are no individual SPs storing more than 25% of transactions. If necessary, ask them to make adjustments; In addition, we will monitor GitHub/Slack messages to detect any risks of self trading The higher the score for geographic distribution, use cases, and mining, the higher the score for the DataCap client. 3. Continuously track customer information, such as DataCap deployment records, relevant mining addresses, and storage providers, to match customer words and actions 4. Establish a reward and punishment mechanism. If a customer is excessively allocated, we will reject additional allocations and remind the filecoin community; If the customer does not allocate DataCap, we will impose penalties through mechanisms such as deduction, quota reduction, blacklist, etc. Any improper behavior regarding the use of DataCap is not allowed. On the contrary, reputable customers offer plans to acquire more DataCap.

10 months ago Monetization
43. Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway. • Pledge and reduction of pledge: The notary distribution method can be based on compliance requirements, requiring SP to pledge or reduce collateral. This can ensure that participants have certain economic incentives to perform their tasks correctly and maintain the normal operation of the network. Service fees: Notarized distribution channels can obtain monetized income by collecting service fees. These service fees can be calculated based on participant usage, transaction volume, or other relevant indicators. The collection of service fees can help support the operation and development of notary distribution channels, and provide sustainable economic returns for participants. Application review: As part of the notary allocation process, application review is required to ensure that the provided applications comply with security, compliance, and technical requirements. For applications that have passed the review, the notary allocation method can charge review fees. This can promote the quality and security of the application, and bring certain economic benefits to the notary distribution channels. Data preparation and distribution: This includes processing, organizing, storing, and distributing data. Notarized distribution channels can obtain monetized income by providing data preparation and distribution services. Data Exchange and Audit: Facilitate participants to exchange and share data within it. The notarization distribution method can obtain economic benefits by charging fees for the use of data exchange or providing audit services. These services can ensure the reliability, traceability, and security of data, and provide trust and value to participants.
44. Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures. • Yunxiang Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2022 with high-tech enterprise focused on blockchain technology and application development and research based on the IPFS distributed storage network Filecoin ecosystem. It focuses on the development of blockchain and distributed storage technologies and platforms. Since its establishment, the following complete technical system has been established: -Research on Blockchain Distributed Storage Cluster Technology -Distributed Storage IDC -FIL mining Organization: YunXiang Technology Nature: Private Company Registered country: China Establishment date: 2022
45. Where will accounting for fees be maintained? • Matters related to cost accounting may need to be decided through proposals and voting, and corresponding rules and mechanisms should be established. The pledge mechanism of Filecoin network refers to the holder locking FIL tokens in the network as collateral for storing services provided by miners. The specific cost accounting of the pledge mechanism is usually achieved through network protocols and smart contracts, and recorded on the blockchain. The relevant expenses involved in the pledge mechanism may include the pledge rate, pledge reward distribution, etc. These expenses will be accounted for and managed according to the network operation rules. Monetary audits should be conducted by independent auditing agencies to ensure transparency and verifiability. In addition, other stakeholders in the Filecoin community can also participate in the audit process and monitor the results of monetized expense accounting in a transparent and open manner.
