In October 2020, I attended the 6th Global Blockchain Summit held in China, I carefully studied the speech of Juan Benet, the founder of IPFS/Filecoin. He expressed the hope that more valuable data can enter the filecoin system, and we are also very interested in this and willing to make some attempts. We join the Filecoin in the end of 2020 after mainnet launched and jump into the Filecoin ecosystem after that.

MetaWave Dashborad is our new product for FIL+ and LDN ecosystem.We have noticed that many statistical dimensions are not reflected in the official browser, so we made it to help community improve efficiency of decision-making.
Another MetaWave's product ,IPFS Navigator won 5th place at the offline Demo Day held in China on Oct.23, 2021. The virtual Jupiter Hackathon aimed to identify, accelerate highlight web3 technologies development.Now we have signed up for SPX, hope to involve with improving the Filecoin retrieval market in the coming year and study in the field of increase the ecosystem.

Diversity and Decentralization

Use Case Diversity

(Optional) Any additional information you'd like to share about the use case(s) you plan to support?

MetaWave Team has an application-oriented strategy which focuses on how to push IPFS and Filecoin into massive commercial use in long-term basis. Therefore, we would like to support wide range of use cases. In addition, we are building strong relationships with various entities which have solid data resources such as: cloud service providers (i.e., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure etc.), internet giant with huge data storage need, third-party institutions in different industries (i.e., universities, research institutions, public service organizations etc.). The allocation for the aforementioned types of use cases will be relative even to avoid potential bias.

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. This includes the target amount per client and rate at which you'll allocate DataCap.

We will allocate different amounts of DataCap depending on several factors.

1. Due Diligence & KYC
We will check for company, team, legitimacy, and GitHub account authorization
2. DataCap scoring
The allocation of DataCap will be approved on the following basis: 
Please refers detail with link below: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RUqv_CHTD4QF8HU9MXwygvfjignUpDYYpydYfJ_oMcQ/edit?usp=sharing 
3. We will help the client who is the first time apply for DataCap regarding the POC and Onboarding

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

We have already bought Ledger Nano X. The offline wallet had been developed and verified for the accounts associated with the Datacap allocation.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet the clients that are applying for DataCap? What questions will you ask to ensure your trust is placed well and that clients can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them?

Both Fil+ and LDN's due diligence with the below process
Please refer detail with link below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oYNJpXlHPU-5kBRWaR3ulm-mEJLD6Cj923QR-IVtJTc/edit?usp=sharing

What processes will you employ when granting additional DataCap to a client that has previously been verified? This includes confirming that the client is not improperly using the DataCap they were previously granted, i.e., making deals with a single SP entity.

That's what MetaWave is doing. All information can be checked in www.metawave.info both clients and miners sheet. To ensure the DataCap decentralization, I will double check the clients address and post the miners breakdown in GitHub.

Bookkeeping Plan

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

The record of my allocation decisions will be accessible and in public(tentatively on GitHub) to be supervised by Filecoin Community.

Where do you plan on keeping a publicly accessible record of all your allocation decisions?

All allocation decisions will be open in our website and the following website:
https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-plus-client-onboarding

Service Level Agreement

Engagement in Program

How much time per week, on average, are you willing to dedicate to participating in the Fil+ program? This includes making DataCap allocations (direct and/or Large Datasets), comments on discussion/issues, attendance in governance calls, messages in Slack, etc.

10 hours per week on average, we can sigh the SLA when needed.

Track Record

Past allocation

Have you previously received DataCap to allocate before? If so, please link to any previous applications.

No, it's our first time to apply notary.

Cumulatively, how much DataCap have you previously successfully allocated?

No

MetaWave - Round 3 Notary Election Scorecard.pdf

Kevin-FF-USA commented 2 years ago

Hi @MetaWaveInfo Congratulations! based on this Notary election cycle's final scoring, you/your organization has qualified to be a Fil+ Notary! You will be receiving your final scored rubric soon, along with the total allocation of Datacap based on rubric scoring.

In order to confirm your participation as a Notary in the Fil+ ecosystem, please respond to the following:

Please confirm that the region of operation for client applications you will focus on is the Oceania area.  
Please confirm each of the following items below (you can do this by quoting each of the following bullets and adding a line under each section agreeing that you'll abide by these operational principles).  

• Upfront Disclosures: Prior to being confirmed as a Notary, Notaries are expected to disclose all relevant addresses which they control, have a financial stake in, or are strongly connected to by other means. For the disclosure, the Notary should state the relevant addresses and the nature of the relationship .

• Promoting Client Best Practices: Notaries agree to educate approved clients about the best practices for using their DataCap (e.g. how to request additional services from miners, storing data redundantly across many miners, etc). Some reference information can be found here. 

• Commitment to efficiently serving the Network: Notaries agree to serve as fiduciaries of the Network, striving to work towards bringing useful data onto Filecoin and improving the experience for clients to do so. Notaries should generally be able to respond to Client applications and updates within 3 days, and should be comfortable communicating with Clients and Notaries if an application needs to be redirected. 

• No Self Dealing: To prevent conflicts of interest, Notaries should not allocate DataCap to Clients over which they control the private keys, or to a Client who intends to specifically spend the allocated DataCap with an address affiliated with the Notary. When in doubt, Notaries should bias towards transparency (i.e. public disclosure) or to getting a different Notary to handle the individual request. 

• Operating in Good Faith: Notaries hold a position of trust in the network, and as such it is expected that they operate keeping the Principles of this mechanism in mind. While each form of abuse cannot be exhaustively defined, Notaries are expected to bias towards caution and act in a way that promotes transparency. Notaries should expect to potentially receive requests or questions for allocation decisions (within reason) - and should make decisions with this in mind. 

• Community Governance Participation: It is expected that you will participate in the program ~10 hours a week. Along with data allocation, participation in Github issues and Slack conversations, Notaries are to make an effort to regularly attend the scheduled Governance calls. As these calls are a forum to shape this process, it is important to ensure Notaries are present to provide their context, with discussions and input. 
Please list any addresses you are affiliated with, and state the nature of the relationship. Please refer to the first bullet point in (2) for the definition of "affiliated", and bias towards transparency when in doubt.  
Please affirm that you will abide by the allocation / client due diligence plan you laid out above.  
(If ready) Please confirm the address that should receive DataCap. This is the address which you will use to sign messages on-chain to verify clients (through using a Ledger and the Fil+ Registry App). If you have an active (non-zero) DataCap grant from a previous election cycle, please provide a different address here.  • If you do not have a ledger already, we recommend ordering directly from the Manufacturer for the Nano S or Nano X (link: https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-nano-x)

@MetaWaveInfo - quick question for you, I see the business establishment in Samoa (https://trueelite-global.com/ address) and the license you sent over, but the phone number and online presence still seems to be in Taiwan. Where is the notary / acting individual actually based?

@MetaWaveInfo can you please address my question above from last fall?

@MetaWaveInfo can you please address my question above from last fall?

Hi @dkkapur , Sure, Cloud service is still our company's main service scope, and participating in filecoin is only our technical team's interest. At present, our ledger holders are mainly in Taiwan, with a small amount of time in Singapore and Samoa.
