A communication group will be set up on the social software similar to telegrams to publish announcements, help customers solve various problems, or discuss the future development of filpuls with each other

Risk Mitigation, Auditing, Compliance

37. Describe your proposed compliance check mechanisms for your own clients.: After the customer obtains DataCap, we will have a specially assigned person to continuously follow up the customer's transaction information. If any violation is found, we will remind him first. If he does not listen to the advice, it will be deemed as a serious violation. The customers who seriously violate the rules will be blacklisted to reject future applications,I don't think there's any problem with the new customer. As long as my rules are met, I will retrieve the successfully packaged data and compare it with the sample in real time after they have been effectively packaged

38. Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.: For dispute situations, the response time should not exceed 48 hours, as we work on this every day. If there is a dispute over the retrieved data, there are several situations. The first is that the data does not match the content of the application. I will ask the customer to explain this. If there is no objection from both parties, 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. The dispute resolution process will be made public. Of course, I will try my best to minimize disputes over data retrieval. For example, as I mentioned earlier, I will retrieve the successfully encapsulated data in real time after it is effectively encapsulated and compare it with the sample

39. Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.: For this issue, I will organize a channel or group chat in the early stage to gather customers together, so that they can see the updated information as soon as I publish it. Of course, I will also leave a message under each LDN application, so that everyone should be able to see it

40. How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?: Within 48 hours

41. 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?: I will use a hardware wallet, such as a LEDGER, to protect my notarized address. Only the person designated by our team can obtain the opening password and signature rights for this hardware wallet

42. Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?: I don't have this idea at the moment. If necessary, our team will consider it

Monetization

43. Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway.: To prevent abuse, I will establish the following rules Firstly, before I issue the datacap, I need to provide a deposit of 100 fil to deduct any subsequent fees and ensure that your data is consistent with the applied data, as well as any possible cheating situations such as data distribution. If any discrepancies are found, they will be deducted in full The second review fee for the applied application is 2fil, including KYC, KYB review, data sample review, etc Thirdly, regarding data retrieval, for a good network, if the download speed exceeds 10m/s, no retrieval fee will be charged. Otherwise, a timeout fee of 2fil will be charged The fourth option is to provide remote assistance in data preparation, with a separate fee of 10 fil per session, which will not be deducted from the security deposit The fifth option is to provide remote assistance for order sending, with a separate fee of 10 fil per order, which will not be deducted from the deposit Sixth, other remote technology fees can be provided, such as HTTP download and deployment, FTP deployment, etc., with a minimum fee of 10 fil per time, and tiered fees depending on the technical difficulty

44. Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.: Shenzhen Zhongchuang System Technology Co., Ltd. Legal representative: Bu Li

45. Where will accounting for fees be maintained?: I will develop my own accounting system or other tools, as well as chat records for social apps

Past Experience, Affiliations, Reputation

46. If you've received DataCap allocation privileges before, please link to prior notary applications.: https://github.com/filecoin-project/notary-governance/issues/643

47. How are you connected to the Filecoin ecosystem? Describe your (or your organization's) Filecoin relationships, investments, or ownership.: This is the browser we use internally:http://www.filtrace.cc/ ZC LABS PTE.LTD was established in 2020 and has an office in China. ZC LABS is committed to becoming an enterprise that provides distributed storage infrastructure construction and distributed storage service support. At present, we mainly engage in two business lines: 1. Construction of Filecoin distributed storage. At present, we have provided storage services for SPs in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Hong Kong, China. In the future, we will establish nodes around the world and provide storage services to customers. 2. Distributed storage related software services, providing online storage platforms for enterprises and hospitals

48. How are you estimating your client demand and pathway usage? Do you have existing clients and an onboarding funnel?: During my one year as a community notary, I have actively participated in notary governance and reviewed a large number of LDN applications and their usage, as well as the total DC quota of 100P that will be consumed in almost a month. Therefore, I estimate that the 200P applied by our team for one year is sufficient, and there are many social channels in China that can encourage customers to join
