DataCap Allocation Strategy

29. Will you use standardized DataCap allocations to clients?:
Yes, standardized

30. Allocation Tranche Schedule to clients::
Some changes have been made based on existing rules
Firstly, allocate 50T to verify whether the data is consistent with the declaration
Secondly, allocate 10% of the total DataCap requested or 100% of the weekly allocation rate, whichever is smaller, up to a maximum of 1P
Thirdly, allocate 20% of the total DataCap requests or 100% of the weekly allocation rate, whichever is smaller, up to 1P
Fourth: Allocate 30% of the total DataCap requests or 200% of the weekly allocation rate, whichever is smaller, up to 1P
Up to 1P per time, until the overall upper limit is fully allocated
The overall upper limit for each customer is 10P

Those who can use official tools should use official tools, while others are as follows
Due diligence&investment, manual review is conducted here to ensure the validity of the data
Dispute discussion&resolution such as GitHub repo, Google spreadsheet
Community updates&comments slip, wechat, github

Tools and Bookkeeping

35. Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team?:
All use open-source tools from the Fil+team

36. Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions?:
Private information will be stored in one's own notebook, and those that need to be disclosed will be made into a Google spreadsheet, etc

Risk Mitigation, Auditing, Compliance

37. Describe your proposed compliance check mechanisms for your own clients.:
I think using official tools can track these situations very well. As long as new customers pass the review, I think there is no problem, and then conduct data review according to question 21

38. Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.:
The response time will not exceed 72 hours, as we work here every day. It seems that there are two controversial aspects at present. The first is the situation of inconsistent data. If the data does not match the content of the application, I will ask the customer to explain it. If there is no objection from both parties after explanation, the dispute will be terminated. Otherwise, the remaining datacap will be removed, and LDN will be closed. If the data content does not meet the specifications, the remaining datacap will be immediately removed, LDN cannot be reapplied for even if it is closed due to this. The second issue is with the SP, which is inconsistent with the pre approved ones. LDN will be temporarily closed and the customer will be asked to explain and provide the latest SP information

39. Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations.:
I will use all official tools as well as GitHub, Slack, WeChat, or other channels to make reminders

40. How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes?:
5 working days

41. Regarding security, how will you structure and secure the on-chain notary address? If you will utilize a multisig, how will it be structured? Who will have administrative & signatory rights?:
LEDGER hardware wallet to protect my notarized address, only the technical leader of our team has this password

42. Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them?:
no

Monetization

43. Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway.:
Technical services are required and will be charged at a rate of 10 fil per occurrence

44. Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures.:
Due to our location in China, it is currently not convenient to disclose. We are a technical team dedicated to FIL

45. Where will accounting for fees be maintained?:
Chat records on social media or on the chain

Past Experience, Affiliations, Reputation

46. If you've received DataCap allocation privileges before, please link to prior notary applications.:
no

filecoin-project/filecoin-plus-large-datasets#2137

48. How are you estimating your client demand and pathway usage? Do you have existing clients and an onboarding funnel?:

If your schedule allows, recommend coming to the May 28th meeting to answer/discuss the issues raised in the recent distributions. This will allow you to faster address - or, the issue in Allocator Governance for ongoing written discussion.

Warmly,
