Industry Reputation

In-protocol Reputation

Please describe (in detail) your activity and tenure as a member of the Filecoin community. Please note (with links where possible) any contributions made to implementations of Filecoin, the spec, documentation, or to substantially help the Filecoin ecosystem grow.

The existing block explorer, arockpool.com, was created by our team, and it has been operational ever since it went up one year ago. It makes use of Python 3 and the microservice architecture, using flask and mongo to offer on-chain data services, and redis and kafka as message and cache middleware. For its data service and profit/trend calculator, the mining industry attracted the majority of users.

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 that can substantiate your contributions.

We have re-evaluated the existing platform structure in light of the impending Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) upgrade, which will significantly increase filecoin agility and usability. We intend to add modern explorer features like testnet support, graphQL data API, RPC endpoint service, data dashboard refactoring, and smart contract verification & decompiler integration to make the platform more developer and community friendly.

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 consider the following factors while allocation the DataCap:
1.Basic customer information and industry reputation
2.Binding relationship between customer and mining machine
3.Use cases diversity
4.Scale&Frequency of allocation
5.Safety Precautions

At the same time, we will verify the authenticity of customers and the data validity through the offline audit. Conduct spot check once a month and general survey every quarter to grasp the basic information and update customers' progress in time, and then change the allocation proportion according to the investigation.

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

We will strictly implement the allocation strategy and conduct a detailed investigation of the customer's information. For the clients who apply, we will make a file and score each client. We will distribute according to the score. It is worth noting that we will update the archives regularly. For clients who are progressing, they deserve more attention. We hope to build a healthy system in which people can make continuous progress and welcome more and more people to participate.

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?

Customer Information and purpose of application is one of the important criteria for our audit. We conduct in-depth research on customer information and ask about the purpose of application, so that we can understand the real demand of customers and avoid the subsequent risk.

1.Research company entity information

Anyway Basic information: Company registration qualification/Business license/Information certificate, etc
Additional information: Certificate of Honor/Computer software copyright, etc

2.Investigate the company

Principal business/Product introduction/Other business
Fiscal Annual financial statement/Asset management statement

3.Signing cooperation agreements

The application form is signed and sealed by the legal person or responsible person
Submit a copy of the company's business license, etc.

We will ask the following questions:

What type of data do you want to store and for what purpose?

What are your plans for the number of miners to store the data, the area, and the assigned number of miners per miner?

What safety precautions do you have?

Do you comply with local laws and regulations and accept the miners term of service?

We regularly spot-check users to see if they are as well as they say.

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.

1. We require customers to disclose their addresses, set up tracking records, and rigorously investigate the customer's stored data

2. We will have a special customer rating database, for low-scoring, poor performance of the customer will be a warning or punishment

3. For storage data diversity, high data authenticity of the customer we will improve the score, and make public praise

4. Finally, we will recruit community volunteers to participate in the monitoring

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 final decision is made public on Github and notified to each customer in at least three ways. For customers' different opinions, we will set up a two-week publicity period, customers can submit personal suggestions, and we will hold an online meeting to make a final decision.

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

Github and official website.
