+The goal of the Filecoin Plus program is to increase the amount of useful data stored with storage providers by clients on the Filecoin network.
 
 In short, this is achieved by appointing allocators responsible for assigning DataCap tokens to clients that are vetted by the allocator as trusted parties storing useful data.  Clients then pay DataCap to storage providers as part of a storage deal, which increases a storage provider’s probability of earning block rewards. A full description of this mechanism is described below.

+Filecoin Plus introduces two concepts important to interactions on the Filecoin network – DataCap and Quality Adjusted Power (QAP).  
 
 ### DataCap
 
-DataCap is a token paid to storage providers as part of a deal in which the client and the data they are storing is verified by a Filecoin+ allocator.  Batches of DataCap are granted to allocators by root-key holders, allocators give DataCap to verified clients, and clients pay DataCap to storage providers as part of a deal.  The more DataCap a storage provider ends up with, the higher probability they have to earn block rewards.  The role of each of these participants, and how DataCap is used in a Filecoin+ deal, is described below in the "Filecoin+ Processes & Participants" section.

 ### Quality Adjusted Power
 
-Quality Adjusted Power is an assigned rating to a given [sector](https://spec.filecoin.io/systems/filecoin_mining/sector/), the basic unit of storage on the Filecoin network.  Quality Adjusted Power is a function of a number of features of the sector, including, but not limited to, the sector’s size and promised duration,  and whether the sector includes a Filecoin+ deal.  It's clear to the network that a sector includes a Filecoin+ deal if a deal in that sector involves DataCap paid to the storage provider.  The more Filecoin+ verified data the storage provider has in a sector, the higher the Quality-Adjusted Power a storage provider has, which linearly increases the number of votes a miner has in the [Secret Leader Election](https://spec.filecoin.io/algorithms/expected_consensus/), determining which storage provider gets to serve as the verifier for the next block in the blockchain, and thus increasing the probability the storage provider is afforded the opportunity to earn block rewards.  For more details on Quality Adjusted Power, see the [Filecoin specification](https://spec.filecoin.io/systems/filecoin_blockchain/storage_power_consensus/).

 [!IMPORTANT]
-There is a common misconception that a Filecoin+ deal increases the miner’s reward paid to a Filecoin storage provider by a factor of ten.  This is not true, Filecoin+ does not increase the amount of block rewards available to storage providers.  Including Filecoin+ deals in a sector increases the Quality Adjusted Power of a storage provider, which increases the probability a storage provider is selected as the block verifier for the next block on the Filecoin blockchain, and thus increases the probability they earn block rewards.

 # Verified deals
 
-Filecoin aims to be a decentralized storage network for humanity’s essential information. To achieve this, it’s crucial to add valuable data to the network. Filecoin Plus (Fil+) is a social trust program encouraging storage providers to store data in _verified deals_. A deal becomes _verified_ after the data owner (client) completes a verification process, where community _notaries_ assess the client’s use of Filecoin to determine its relevance and value to the Filecoin mission: storing and preserving humanity’s vital data. Notaries conduct due diligence by questioning clients and building reasonable confidence in their trustworthiness and use case.

 ## Rewards & penalties
 
-With great power, comes great responsibility, which also counts for storage power: rewards on Fil+ deals are 10x, but so are the penalties. Because a sector of 32 GiB counts for 320 GiB of storage power (10x), the rewards and the penalties are calculated on the QAP of 320 GiB. Fil+ allows a storage provider to earn more block rewards on a verified deal, compared to a regular data deal. The 10x multiplier on storage power that comes with a verified deal, however, also requires 10x collateral from the storage provider.

 If the storage provider is then not capable of keeping the data and systems online and fails to submit the daily required proofs (WindowPoSt) for that data, the penalties (_slashing_) are also 10x higher than over regular data deals or CC sectors. Larger storage power means larger block rewards, larger collateral and larger slashing. The stakes are high - after all, we’re storing humanity’s most important information with Filecoin.
