Notary Allocator Pathway Name: LendMi Storage Organization: LendMi Allocator's On-chain addresss: f17gyewdt3aviprhmhcl52xq2rtv3ihrakiv6bukq Country of Operation: Singapore Region(s) of operation: North America,Asia minus GCR Type of allocator: Manual Amount of DataCap Requested for allocator for 12 months: 170 PiB Is your allocator providing a unique, new, or diverse pathway to DataCap? How does this allocator differentiate itself from other applicants, new or existing? We concentrated our efforts on engaging large corporations that hold significant data assets, while also catering to smaller data set owners from within the small and medium enterprise sector. Here are some examples of our clients: Solana Lab - filecoin-project/filecoin-plus-large-datasets#923 As a member in the Filecoin Community, I acknowledge that I must adhere to the Community Code of Conduct, as well other End User License Agreements for accessing various tools and services, such as GitHub and Slack. Acknowledgment: Acknowledge Cient Diligence Section: This section pertains to client diligence processes. Who are your target clients? Small-scale developers or data owners,Enterprise Data Clients Describe in as much detail as possible how you will perform due diligence on clients. Our approach adopts a direct, manual strategy during the client evaluation phase, including conducting KYC processes as part of our comprehensive due diligence. Please specify how many questions you'll ask, and provide a brief overview of the questions. Our current questionnaire is designed with 23 questions. These are intended for clients to furnish us with necessary details, ensuring we thoroughly cover all previously mentioned aspects. The questionnaire is available for your perusal at the following link . Please refer to the documents sent in private. Will you use a 3rd-party "Know your client" (KYC) service? We operate with an internal Compliance Department and a bespoke KYC Process. Once clients complete our comprehensive questionnaire, our compliance team embarks on the due diligence procedure. Tools like namescan.io could be employed in this process. This phase involves scrutinizing the type of data to be stored, ensuring alignment with laws pertinent to the business’s jurisdiction, and confirming the business’s licensure status. Additionally, we investigate the beneficiaries and principal stakeholders of the enterprise. Following the successful due diligence clearance, we initiate technical integrations and assist clients in the data transfer process. Can any client apply to your pathway, or will you be closed to only your own internal clients? (eg: bizdev or self-referral) Any client can apply. How do you plan to track the rate at which DataCap is being distributed to your clients? To monitor the distribution rate of DataCap to our clients, we intend to implement an automated system. This system will efficiently gather and record each client's DataCap usage data, which will then be displayed on a specialized dashboard for easy tracking and analysis. Data Diligence This section will cover the types of data that you expect to notarize. As a reminder: The Filecoin Plus program defines quality data is all content that meets local regulatory requirements AND As an operating entity in the Filecoin Community, you are required to follow all local & regional regulations relating to any data, digital and otherwise. This may include PII and data deletion requirements, as well as the storing, transmitting, or accessing of data. Acknowledgement: Acknowledge What type(s) of data would be applicable for your pathway? Public Open Dataset (Research/Non-Profit),Public Open Commercial/Enterprise,Private Commercial/Enterprise,Private Non-Profit/Social Impact How will you verify a client's data ownership? Will you use 3rd-party KYB (know your business) service to verify enterprise clients? Our verification procedure for establishing a client’s ownership of data is thorough and diversified, guaranteeing a rigorous validation process that respects confidentiality and adheres to data protection laws. The process involves several critical steps: Initial Assessment of Data Ownership: This detailed verification framework ensures that we have a solid and trustworthy method to verify data ownership, keeping pace with evolving legal requirements and KYB technological advancements. How will you ensure the data meets local & regional legal requirements? To ensure client data adheres to regional and local legal standards, our process includes completing a KYC form as part of our onsite KYB process, all managed by our Compliance Department. Comprehensive Legal Compliance Framework: Ongoing monitoring and research into local and regional data storage, privacy, and security laws are a core part of our strategy, including regulations such as the GDPR, CCPA and PDPA. Collaboration with legal experts ensures we effectively apply these laws in our operations. We devise region-specific compliance strategies, tailoring our data storage services to meet diverse legal requirements. Our clients operating globally receive advice on multi-jurisdictional compliance to ensure legal adherence in all operational regions. Client Support and Guidance: Our client education program includes workshops and training focused on legal compliance, supported by extensive guides. For intricate legal matters, we offer bespoke consultation services. Contractual Agreements and Regular Audits: Our data processing and transfer agreements are comprehensive, aligning with the legal requirements of various regions. We maintain legal compliance through regular audits, promptly rectifying any non-compliance issues. Legal and Data Protection Oversight: Our Data Protection Officer and legal team oversee all aspects of data-related legal compliance. They also provide guidance on legal matters to our clients, ensuring our practices are consistent with the latest legal standards. This strategy ensures our clients' data management practices fully comply with all necessary legal requirements, effectively mitigating legal risks for both our clients and our organization. Here is our reference sheet for geographical data regulation. Please refer to the privately sent message: What types of data preparation will you support or require? Our services include complete technical assistance for our clients, which covers both integration and data preparation. For those with Big Data requirements, we extend services that allow for the physical transfer of their data to our storage devices. For smaller entities and individual users, we make available an API to streamline the data transfer process. What tools or methodology will you use to sample and verify the data aligns with your pathway? For verification purposes, we will implement a method where we randomly select one record for inspection. This approach helps ensure the data's authenticity and adherence to specified requirements. Additionally, we will adopt a progressive release strategy for DataCap, contingent upon successful verification of the data and its utilization of space. This method is also intended to prevent misuse, such as sector padding. Data Distribution This section covers deal-making and data distribution. As a reminder, the Filecoin Plus program currently defines distributed onboarding as multiple physical locations AND multiple storage provider entities to serve client requirements. Recommended Minimum: 3 locations, 4 to 5 storage providers, 5 copies How many replicas will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution? 5+ What geographic or regional distribution will you require? North America and Asia How many Storage Provider owner/operators will you require to meet programmatic requirements for distribution? 5+ Do you require equal percentage distribution for your clients to their chosen SPs? Will you require preliminary SP distribution plans from the client before allocating any DataCap? This question is answered in an open-ended question in our CDD form. Please refer to the document sent in private. What tooling will you use to verify client deal-making distribution? We use datacapstats.io How will clients meet SP distribution requirements? Our approach includes offering an easy-to-use API/SDK, which clients can utilize to efficiently transfer their data to the designated storage provider. As an allocator, do you support clients that engage in deal-making with SPs utilizing a VPN? To verify whether storage providers are using VPNs, we utilize third-party services. One such resource is the VPN/IP Address Check by IPQualityScore, available at https://www.ipqualityscore.com/vpn-ip-address-check. For comprehensive checks, we also leverage MaxMind's services (https://www.maxmind.com). DataCap Allocation Strategy In this section, you will explain your client DataCap allocation strategy. Keep in mind the program principle over Limited Trust Over Time. Parties, such as clients, start with a limited amount of trust and power. Will you use standardized DataCap allocations to clients? No, client specific Allocation Tranche Schedule to clients: • First: 1 PiB Will you use programmatic or software based allocations? No, manually calculated & determined What tooling will you use to construct messages and send allocations to clients? Currently, our approach involves directly communicating with clients, through Slack. We plan to manually craft messages and then proceed to send DataCap allocations to our clients through these personalized communications. Describe the process for granting additional DataCap to previously verified clients. There are no concrete plans for now. Tooling & Bookkeeping This program relies on many software tools in order to function. The Filecoin Foundation and PL have invested in many different elements of this end-to-end process, and will continue to make those tools open-sourced. Our goal is to increase adoption, and we will balance customization with efficiency. This section will cover the various UX/UI tools for your pathway. You should think high-level (GitHub repo architecture) as well as tactical (specific bots and API endoints). Describe in as much detail as possible the tools used for: Client Discoverability & Applications: Will you use open-source tooling from the Fil+ team? We use FIL+ team's Github. Where will you keep your records for bookkeeping? How will you maintain transparency in your allocation decisions? Our record maintenance involves using GitHub for public storage of certain client details and private emails and our own secure data storage for confidential information. The bookkeeping is handled through a specially programmed Excel sheet, closely monitored by our operations staff. For transparency, we will publicly share certain information on GitHub, providing community access for auditability. More sensitive data will be kept private but will be available to the Fil+ Governance team as needed for resolving disputes or conducting audits. Requests for further information can be made through our official email contact points. Risk Mitigation, Auditing, Compliance This framework ensures the responsible allocation of DataCap by conducting regular audits, enforcing strict compliance checks, and requiring allocators to maintain transparency and engage with the community. This approach safeguards the ecosystem, deters misuse, and upholds the commitment to a fair and accountable storage marketplace. In addition to setting their own rules, each notary allocator will be responsible for managing compliance within their own pathway. You will need to audit your own clients, manage interventions (such as removing DataCap from clients and keeping records), and respond to disputes. Describe your proposed compliance check mechanisms for your own clients. Our dispute handling process is structured to swiftly and transparently address any disagreements within the context of DataCap allocation on the Filecoin network, be it internal or external. Initial Steps and Timely Response: In-depth Information Analysis: Conducting Resolution Discussions: Mediation and Resolution Process: Maintaining Transparency and Record-Keeping: Accountability and Continuous Improvement: In broader community or governance-related disputes, we actively involve the community for feedback and explanation of our stance. Describe your process for handling disputes. Highlight response times, transparency, and accountability mechanisms. Our dispute handling process is structured to swiftly and transparently address any disagreements within the context of DataCap allocation on the Filecoin network, be it internal or external. Initial Steps and Timely Response: Detail how you will announce updates to tooling, pathway guidelines, parameters, and process alterations. Currently, we have not formalized a specific plan for announcing updates to our tooling, guidelines, or processes. However, when these updates are ready, we anticipate communicating them through our Discord channel and on our official website. This approach will ensure our clients and stakeholders are kept informed about any significant changes in a timely and efficient manner. How long will you allow the community to provide feedback before implementing changes? Our approach includes maintaining open channels for online communication with the community, primarily via GitHub and Discord. This will allow us to actively engage with our community members and allocate a suitable timeframe for them to offer feedback on proposed changes. We will moderate and facilitate discussions on these platforms to ensure productive engagement, and the feedback gathered will be thoughtfully evaluated to inform our implementation strategy. 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? We are in the process of establishing a secure structure for our on-chain notary address, which will incorporate the use of Safe Wallet for Multi-Signature capabilities. This approach is under active development and will undergo extensive testing to validate its effectiveness before it goes live. Concurrently, we are considering business strategies that enable us to handle all client transactions directly and perform settlements off-chain, adding an extra layer of security and operational control. Will you deploy smart contracts for program or policy procedures? If so, how will you track and fund them? We intend to implement smart contracts as part of our program and policy procedures. The likely approach will involve a pooled funding mechanism from our clients' end. Additionally, we plan to integrate these smart contracts with a multi-signature system in collaboration with the allocated Storage Providers (SPs). This integration will ensure enhanced security and efficient contract execution. Monetization While the Filecoin Foundation and PL will continue to make investments into developing the program and open-sourcing tools, we are also striving to expand and encourage high levels of service and professionalism through these new Notary Allocator pathways. These pathways require increasingly complex tooling and auditing platforms, and we understand that Notaries (and the teams and organizations responsible) are making investments into building effective systems. It is reasonable for teams building services in this marketplace to include monetization structures. Our primary guiding principles in this regard are transparency and equity. We require these monetization pathways to be clear, consistent, and auditable. Outline your monetization models for the services you provide as a notary allocator pathway. We operate on a commission model for our market matching services as a notary allocator. Alongside this, we plan to establish lending and borrowing avenues as additional revenue streams. Specific pricing details for our range of services, including application processing, data preparation, data clearinghouse distribution, and audit services, are set to align with market standards while offering value to our clients. Describe your organization's structure, such as the legal entity and other business & market ventures. Eventually, we aim to transition into a prominent lending and borrowing platform where storage space can be rented and filecoins can be lent and borrowed freely in an automated manner. But currently we will work with the manual approach. This format provides a solid foundation for our business and market activities, as we gradually progress towards achieving our aspirations. Where will accounting for fees be maintained? Our fee accounting, encompassing aspects like staking, burning, and releasing funds, is conducted entirely on-chain. This method guarantees full transparency and facilitates auditing by the Fil+ Governance body and other relevant stakeholders, aligning with our commitment to transparent and responsible financial operations.
