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.

MetaVerse Data Mining was invited to join the Filecoin project in 2020 and as a member of the Filecoin community, our team has been working on Filecoin community building and network development.

During the construction, we launched the Filecoin Data Center(https://pledge.mdmlab.io/)
This Center is a Filecoin blockchain data service platform that provides developers with an API interface to easily and quickly access relevant data and statistical analysis on the Filecoin chain.
Through our data center, you can search the data of sector, node, even whole network,and assess the real value of nodes through the financial reporting model. From a professional perspective, our platform focuses on node production costs, records historical data, and analyzes the stability of nodes.

In order to further help the development of Filecoin network, we have also launched a Pledge Joint-mining platform platform for servicing the major participants of the network (owners, equipment owners, token holders, technical service providers) https://pledge.mdmlab.io/

Because considering the current situation, these participants face the following challenges:
1. Owners: Most of owners joined in Filecoin in 2021 and have great expectations for the development of the Filecoin network. They have been supporting the stability and growth of the Filecoin network and they are eager to have more pledged tokens to expand their production.
2. Equipment Owners: Most of equipment owners provide leasing services of sealing for owners since 2021, especially sealed equipment owners,but most of their equipment is spare now.
3. Token holders: At present, most token holders are optimistic about the future growth of Filecoin , but considering the market price, the Fil token they hold can not bring them additional interest.
4. Technical service providers: These participants are mostly dependent on the node owner or device owner. Generally, they are R&D or O&M personnel. At present, they are faced with the problem that there is no more sealing demand and they are in a state of loss of income.

Every partial participants have their value, and if you want to form a team of these participants ,it would require a significant investment in labour power and capital.


This Pledge Joint-mining platform we designed aims to organise these participants and make advantage of their strengths and values.

With our platform, we expect that owners can reasonably assess the true value of their nodes through this professional and perfect evaluation system, deposit their nodes to our platform, borrow tokens from holders at the real value of their nodes, so they can invest in a new round to pledge and seal, and return a portion of the output to the holders.
And in this process, they will look for more equipment owners and package service providers in the market to contribute their value, and allow them to use their own equipment and services in exchange for their returns.

In addition to this, our Pledge Joint-mining platform has a mature procedure of node evaluation, cost measurement, revenue monitoring and risk protection. It also allows for the complete migration of nodes to a safer location in the event of an unavoidable risk, thus protecting the token that loaned to the owners from further loss.

We believe that with the launch of the pour Pledge Joint-mining platform, more and more participants will gather around us and rely on this platform to leverage their strengths and to get their fair share of returns. It will also play a more positive role in the stability and growth of the Filecoin network.

At the same time, we also pay close attention to the progress of FVM and retrieval. We are looking for suitable partners to enter this network all the time. We expect that we give our own value and gain profits in the process of the birth, growth and maturity of Filecoin network.

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.

For ensuring the fair and decentralization of DC allocation, and ensure that we will grant the appropriate DataCap to the clients,Our review procedure will follow this  steps:

(1)Fully verify the basic information of the clients, including the company's registration location and time, company size,the authenticity of the business license, and proof of qualifications.
(2)Review whether the requested datacap is reasonable, and review the data types, diversity of stored data, and whether they are public or encrypted are required.

2.The fair of allocation
1. In principle, we support all reasonable use cases.
2. For the Fil+,we will not assign more than 20% of dc to the same SP,and it also suitable to the limits of clients when they apply ldn.
3. For the LDN,we plan to distribute our data to at least 2 SPs in different regions.For the ldn,we require clients to have at least 3 SPs.

3、 Review the use of clients
In order to prevent abuse, we require clients to have a specific plan about data allocation and the criterion of SP selection.
If the clients has the experience in Datacap application, we will refer to the previous DataCap consumption and allocation as judgement . And make sure the share has not been allocated to a same SP.
We will also regularly retrieve the clients' data,about three times a month.

Allocation criteria:
We have create a template of score mechanism,focusing on company's business type, data type, selection of SP, etc. We will mark application based on this mechanism, and determine the scale and speed of our allocation based on the final score.

You can view the allocation criteria and plan here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yen03EH4Y7hMibyWO-mbdztbSQPqZKpFsnjln1yDfKU/edit?usp=sharing

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. 
We will form a team of four to control the multisig-wallet,and every signature will be monitored.

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.

2. The clients list we create will be a ledger that can track the allocation process in time.This is the list we made:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pHvhQsCAMSR9Z6BYVJPjE6L5G_s71Jlzz4WTm8Z9WiE/edit?usp=sharing

Where a review involves client privacy, we disclose details of the application process if there is a private application (email, telegram, etc.) process. In the event of a customer dispute, we will respond to the information available and review it again in the first instance.
