Allocator Application
Compliance Report
1st Review
2nd Review

1st Review score: 2.5PiB granted
2nd Review score: 5PiB granted

2nd allocation on 9/17

DC granted to two clients on this round:
New client
Ongoing client

Example of ongoing client
The Client has stored 13 replicas even though 11 were declared. The Allocator contacted the client for further clarification.
This client works with as many as 17 SPs, 4 of which have a retrieval rate of 0%.

Example of new client
The Client said the proposed dataset wasn’t stored on Filecoin before, but that’s inaccurate. The previously sent dataset might be irretrievable, but the Client and the Allocator should have checked that and explained accordingly.

Since June 2024, the client has cooperated with several different allocators on other datasets. All those issues are still open, and DC was granted in each case. The gov team should follow up.

The retrieval rate oscillates between 49-70%

According to the compliance report there are 3 allocations, but the github repo only confirms 2. How did the 3rd allocation get transferred?

The Allocator does KYC processes through e-mail. The Gov team should follow up.

The customer has provided an explanation and I will consider closing the issue and letting the customer reapply

Triggered a bug when signing

@filecoin-watchdog @Kevin-FF-USA @galen-mcandrew Hi
It's been three weeks, any updates here please?

[galen-mcandrew]

Overall good diligence and compliant behavior. It would be good to see how this allocator is investigating clients that are working with multiple allocator pathways. It is reasonable for a client or data preparer to be working with multiple teams, but there should be investigation, diligence, transparency, and justification for that behavior.

Perhaps your team is able to help work on this, and make some additional developments, suggestions, or tools for the community.

At this time we are requesting 10 PiB of DataCap from RKH, to allow this allocator to show increased diligence and alignment.
