Shawn Wang，over 13 years of PE/VC investment experience focused in TMT(Technology Media & Telecom). Within the scope of our investment direction and inspection coverage, Data authentication, data authorization, data sharing and trading, became the common difficulties and pain points in many industries and fields such as precision marketing, data mining, AI and so on. Soon, Blockstack and Filecoin the two projects came into my view, which showed me the possibility of solving the problems of data authentication originally and data sharing legally. Then I have turned to the blockchain track in an all-round way, focusing on decentralized storage and data sharing. I established a new fund, not only invests and incubates related projects, but also continuously spreads, publicizes and promotes IPFS & Filecoin through we media, speeches, round tables and conferences. Since 2016, I was prove to be an evangelists and investor of Web3.0 vision and IPFS ecology. Following are part of articles, speeches, interviews and presentations:

Shawn Wang，founder of TokenDAO Capital，columnist of "通证道TokenDAO", investor of 1475 Filecoin miner. evangelists and investor of Web3.0 vision and IPFS ecology.
My reputation contribution is mainly in two aspects, one is investment and incubation, the other is value dissemination and application promotion of IPFS&Filecoin.
1.we not only invested Shanghai Tianru Network Technology Co., LTD. (Famous Mining Company which contributes to Filecoin’s security and ecology ), but also draw extensive attention to IPFS/Filecoin related project investment chances：
(1) data application：IPFS content searching and hash mapping, data confirmation, data sharing and data transaction, data port and open call;
(2) storage application：Cloud storage service / cloud space, cold storage, file mounting, encrypted database, version management and valuable sharing;
(3) transmission application: Thermal response of cold storage, CDN acceleration, audio and video on demand and distribution, price difference driven sub warehouse optimization and automatic flow control;
(4) Generalized oracle: non transaction data on chain, smart contract Oracle, data reference and interaction cross chain, and contract based data reward
(5) DeFi and data distribution: Fil stable currency, pledge currency discount, Fil fixed income products, derivatives, digital asset issuance and distribution, data income securitization

Some projects invested or being incubated:
Fil loan platform, DeFi platform of Fil and insurance products of Fil;
cloud storage application of Fil , unmissable cloud space, cloud album on Filecoin
file sharing system on Fil, co-built knowledge map on Fil
Intelligent Contract Development on Fil
Medical image data sharing platform on Filecoin
IOT sensor + Filecoin public credit storage of biological assets/equipment Chattel pledge loan support system
Scene data import of various Internet projects
Import of series items to Filecoin on IPFS 

2 This is the strategic position and investment value of IPFS&Filecoin,what i have consistently and persistently interpret,spread,advocate On various occasions for at least 4 years.
IPFS decouples both data content and storage form, ownership and usage rights of data, which lays a technical foundation for the Data Times and represents the inevitable direction of Web3.0.

Filecoin solves the problem of motivation, value measure, exchange medium and credible trading mechanisms why people are willing to share storage resources and data resources to the whole network;

In-protocol Security

Please describe your contributions to the security of Filecoin and the duration over which you've made contributions. Please also include any links or references who might be able to substantiate your contributions (e.g. if you've filed several bugs, please cite who you've communicated with on the Filecoin side).

I have been committed to enhancing public understanding and awareness, building consensus to against forking;
Following is the opinion what I have shared in many interviews, speeches and round tables about Filecoin forking projects: 
Two types of Forking and their tragic prospects:
1. scene-customized forking
There are plenty of decentration storage projects for various scene and different demands. There will be many successful forking project: cold storage vs hot sotrage, big data vs small data, public data vs private data,  anti-supervision vs supervision-friendly and so on. 
These application-oriented forkings utilized the open source infrastructure and frameworks created by IPFS and Filecoin and have the potential to succeed by taking into account the unique rigid demands of downstream scenarios. However, these forkings could also be easily replaced by Filecoin's Layer2 and the bridge.

2. infrastructure forking
If it's just a simple "micro" innovation instead of hard-core innovation, such as reducing some layers from 11 layers of seal, reducing the number of spot checks by post + VRF, reducing message gas by aggregation under the chain, accelerating and small changes of p1p2 algorithm, small optimization of C1C2 algorithm, optimization of task and resource scheduling.
If these optimizations are really good, the next iteration of the official version may be included, and this kind of forking chain will be very embarrassing!

External Reputation

Please describe the nature of your organization, including the country of registration, size of the organization, and time since inception.

In 2016, I was Inspired by the great vision of Web3.0, And deeply recognize the strategic value and fundamental position of IPFS. 
STIU-Shanghai token investors Union, a club for blockchain and token investors to exchange and share, was sponsored at that time.
In November 2017, TokenDAO Capital was founded in Shanghai, China.  At the same time, I registered the social media : TokenDAO 通证道 to promote IPFS & Filecoin. 
About RMB 50 million was raised in 2017 and began to invest blockchain and cryptocurrency, a new field full of vitality,with bright future. With the deepening of the research, I found that there is a lack of a base infrastructure, which can carry scene data, trigger smart contracts, and free, secure and compliant transaction data on it. If not IPFS/Filecoin,who can？

Please share any relevant details to help substantiate information about your organization (website, named officers, links to social media profiles).

Allocation Plan

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can.

General principle: Data and the application behind it, should bring real users and application value to IPFS/Filecoin, and promote ecological prosperity of Web3.0.

1 Overall distribution plan and key factors:
Business nature, business scale and informatization degree
The relativity of and beneficiary to Web3.0 and Filecoin
Data type and application scenario
Horizontal scalability of data: Stock users and inflow contribution, data scale
Vertical scalability of data: Data quality, data value and diversity of data use

2 Specific distribution scheme
The rating table and grade rules can be viewed in the Google shared table：
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13a537ouG7FwqUknAcAz2ZJ2u3APgFgVH/view?usp=sharing

Are there any internal processes you plan on impelementing regarding the target, amount, or rate at which you'll allocate DataCap?

There are Internal process to ensure the effective implementation of the distribution plan and prevent and control the risk of right abuse and right rent-seeking.
Organization form: one person in charge + at least 3 operators form a working group;
Workflow: data collection → information structure → information verification → grading and rating → granting shares → regular return visit and dynamic tracking;
Mutual Check and superior Supervision: working paper and log is required; collecting data and rating by one person, grade auditing and checking by another; discussion and questioning in team; adding material / background investigation; regular inspection by team leader, stage summary and work report;
Best Practice: internal proceed should follow Best Practice principles, adopt to Plan-Do-Check-Improve four cycle.
Other methods: automatic collecting and scoring system, periodic summary and improvement suggestions, learning from the advanced experience of peers, following the ecological co-evolution and co-growth;

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

The key which address DataCap will be allocated to, must be secured in hardware wallet.
Multi-signature is a better choice, depend on situation.
Legal person or founder, should be responsible for Safe storage and compliant use,and participate in it.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet your Client to ensure they are spending that DataCap responsibly?

Step 1: register and collect client information
Application clients need to commit basic information. as the following:
-Basic information of the applicant: company name, legal person information, business license, registered capital, number of employees, branches, years of establishment, etc;
-Letter of commitment for compliance application and reasonable use (signed by legal person)
-Detailed application materials and historical evidence(business model,information level, data type,data demo, generating frequency, duration,etc.)
-One year use plan of DataCap.
-List of business / applications / products related to the requested data.
-The number of users in the existing user community, user profiles, etc

Step 2: Grade assessment
Based on basic information and business status, clients will fall into a certain interval of DataCap according to the rating table and grade rules. We will assess the reliability of the data provider and the nature of the data, etc., to ensure the scale and quality of the provider and its data. Then DataCap will be distributed in batches, and dynamically adjusted according to the client's rating table. 

Step 3: Information disclosure for supervision and improvement
All of our ratings and distribution reports are publicly and transparently posted on GITHUB for review and supervision by participants.
We will also introduce a feedback mechanism to collect suggestions or complaints for improvement.

What questions will you ask to ensure the Client can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them?

Based on credit mechanism, the following question must/might be asked:
1. What is the main Business scenarios and how is the data generated? Data demo? 
2. How much data has accumulated and will be produced in the future?
3. How much DataCap do you need now?
4. What is usage plan of the DataCap? how would you distribute the DataCap you applied for?
5. Will the data set be open shared,or just private storage?    
6. Do you intend to use the features you may specify (e.g. Fast Retrieval) with your storage deals?
7. Do you plan on allocating your DataCap to a single miner, or across many miners?
8. Do you agree to use the DataCap to only store data that abides by local regulations?
9. The DataCap you applied for will be disclosed and supervised by the community. The direction of use must be true and consistent. Are you willing to accept it?

What processes will you employ to confirm that a Client is not improperly over-allocating DataCap to a single entity?

Beforehand,clients are required to properly separate DataCap into different entities.
During the period, there will be Periodical inspection and audit of DataCap usage.
Afterwards, once improper over-allocate of DataCap or other misconduct is found, client’s reputation score and DataCap quota will be downgrade.
Meanwhile, Incentive mechanism will be introduced, reporting unfair allocation and Improper use will be encouraged. Automated inspection tools are also under consideration.

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on keeping records of your allocation decisions? If so, with what level of specificity do you intend to respond to any audit requests?

Yes, all allocation decisions will be recorded according to notary rubric and access table publicly on Github. 
Since all interactions are intended to occur public, most of the allocation decisions should be self-explanatory. 
Clients can question the notary's distribution plan, and any queries about allocation decisions should be discussed in public, e.g. the Github repo.
If convincing justifications can’t be given by the Notary, a dispute resolution application can be submit to the Notary Governance after 10 working days since its original challenge date. 
Once the dispute resolution application is submit, the Notary Governance can assign an arbitrator among the Root Key Holders in order to resolve the dispute. 
A hearing may be given within 20 working days of the dispute resolution application depending on the arbitrator's decisions.

Do you plan on conduct your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both?

For the sake of transparency, fairness and justice, and avoid unnecessary doubts and misunderstanding, all records about allocation decisions of DataCap assigned by Notary will be published and access to everyone(e.g. Github repo), in order to be supervised by Filecoin Community.
In business operations, we will also advise clients to disclose and public data-related information as much as possible to make it easier to obtain approval and more unambiguous DataCap.
