The data flow identifies the information used to calculate and administer holder rights. It should show who supplies, checks and can correct that information.[1][2]
Understanding the question
Map price inputs, asset income, holder eligibility, balances and distributions. Record the source of each input and its update frequency. If a smart contract acts on external data, explain the consequence of an error or outage. Legal documents and operating procedures should allocate responsibility for correction.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Input | Identify the data and its original provider. |
| Control | Record validation, update and override permissions. |
| Error | Define correction, notification and dispute procedures. |
Put it into practice
A wrong income figure can produce a technically correct but economically wrong distribution. Design the reconciliation and recovery process before automation.
