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 reference heavily on the excellent allocation strategies proposed by IPFSUnion. 

The purpose of allocating the DataCap is to make sure clients use these DataCap in the right way to store real and valid data. We firstly specify some rules to figure out the true identity of the applicant.
• Browse their official website to get a general understanding of the company or the individual. 
• Query the company's registration information from government related websites to make sure the information he submitted is truth.
• Ask some questions to know about the applicant's position/organization/plan/use case etc. 
• Then We will classify applicants based on their industry reputation and scale etc. All applicants will be divided into eight categories to determine the amount of datacap they will get. 

The following Rubric will be the primary guideline we use when evaluating a client and determining their DataCap allocation.   
You can see it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y4TC7LOI8C_1hChIC2xuBBP2-BuP9VC6OUJs-Y1V38g/edit#gid=0

These scoring guidelines can serve as a tool of assessment and further to add a level of consistency across the board.

The whole application process should be open and transparent. There are only several necessary internal processes Currently:
• Some brief communications via e-mail to make sure the e-mail address is authentic and valid.
• For some companies involved in confidentiality that can’t answer some details in public, we will have some communications in our private repository. In the event of a dispute, we will share the repository with officials immediately. The target and amount of our allocation can be found in the scoring guidelines. 

In addition, we will try to simplify the process to enable applicants interested in DataCap to use it asap. For customers who apply for a large amount of DataCap, we will review them more carefully.

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

A hardware wallet will be used to store the keys associated with the DataCap allocation address securely.

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?

In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of DataCap allocation, we have developed separate online and offline application processes according to the number of DataCap applications and individual users and corporate users.

For individual users:
we will review their Github registration years (minimum of 180 days) to prevent bots from malicious applications. The amount of approval will also be controlled below 0.5TiB.

For corporate users:
We have developed different review methods and requirements depending on the number of their DataCap applications.
If it is less than or equal to 5TiB, we will adopt an online review. The following points will be reviewed.
• Business license
• Enterprise power of attorney (CEO signature + seal)
• All shareholders with more than 25% of the total number of shareholders will be photographed with their ID cards or passports.
• Sample data submission (0.2% of their total DataCap request)

If the application is larger than 5TiB, we will add offline review (business trip to visit customers or invite them to ByteBase) based on the online survey method. There are:
• Enterprise Business Type
• Data sources
• Data volume (monthly)
• Enterprise perceptions of filecoin
• Data storage plans

individual and organization
• What's your name? What's your duty in your company? Please introduce yourself and your team briefly, and show me some of your social media accounts such as GitHub, email address, WeChat official account, etc.
• For your organization, Please describe its time since inception, registration country，scale, named officers, project, industry reputation, etc.

track record
• How did you know about Filecoin? Please describe your understanding of Filecoin storage.
• Please describe any of your honor and disputes in the field of Filecoin.
• Regarding the data you intend to store, What’s the original source of those data and do you have any proof of ownership or authorization?
• Has your organization obtained DataCap before? if so, please answer the following sub-questions.
* Please share all links and recordings of your application before.
* How about your DataCap usage? Is there any remaining? Is there any information on the deals you've created and the miners you've used with your previously allocated?

use plan
• Please describe your plan to use DataCap as detailed as possible? (including use case, amount, timespan, geography, miner, partner etc.)
• Do you plan to record your allocation decisions and execution details in public?
• How do you plan to protect the DataCap you have obtained to make sure that it is used to its best advantage?
In addition, We may further ask some questions to give an accurate score to the applicant.

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.

We will employ five processes to confirm hat a Client is not improperly over-allocating DataCap to a single entity.
• First of all, the Client’s Filecoin address is required to be disclosed for us to closely monitor after the DataCap allocation.  Moreover, we will keep our eyes open on such Client’s storage orders placed from time to time (especially for verified deals) and relevant storage providers. 
• As set forth above, the granted DataCap will be available to the Client by stages.  So usually we can withhold the remaining DataCap from being allocated if the Client is found over-allocating its available DataCap to any single entity.
• We will set up a Client rubrics mechanism that scores the Clients with varying trust.  Among others, the more diversified the Client allocates its granted DataCap, the higher scores the Client will get.  The Client may get bonus score if deploying less than 30% DataCap to any storage provider while it will suffer score deduction for deploying ≥70% Datacap to any storage miner for a period of time.
• Penalties - if a Client gets a too low score in terms of diversification of storage providers, a warning will be issued and all the other notaries will be notified of the aforementioned “Over-Concentrated Allocation”.  Further punitive actions, such as cancellation of the remaining DataCap, may be taken in response to any Client’s persistent neglection of our warning.
• Audits - both external and internal audits will be conducted throughout the data deployment process. The community members are encouraged to take part as the external auditor to expose any Client’s over-concentration on Datacap allocation.

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?

All allocation decisions will be conducted publicly in the Github repository. And we will also send emails to whom it may concern.

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

In public via github repo.

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.


In plan, 10+ hours per week on average.

Track Record

Past allocation

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

None.

Cumulatively, how much DataCap have you previously successfully allocated?

None.
