4EVERLAND: Building a new paradigm of Web3 Decentralization cloud infrastructure
4EVERLAND's Decentralization cloud platform: An important infrastructure in the Web3 industry
In recent years, the development of cloud computing technology has rejuvenated traditional IT infrastructure. Centralized cloud computing dominates, but the decentralized model is rapidly emerging, redefining the rules of the game in a freer, safer, and greener way. Compared to the traditional centralized model, decentralized cloud computing, with its flexibility and privacy advantages, is becoming the future direction of development.
Decentralized cloud computing does not rely on a single super server; data is stored in a distributed manner across global nodes. It features on-demand scaling and allocation, offering flexibility that far exceeds traditional cloud services. Moreover, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems, particularly the energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism that consumes a significant amount of electricity and equipment. It is estimated that by 2025, data centers will account for more than 3% of global carbon emissions, and by 2040, carbon emissions resulting from digital data storage will reach 14% of the global total, equivalent to the current carbon emission levels of the United States.
This background provides opportunities for the DePIN( Decentralization entity infrastructure network ). DePIN covers multiple key areas including network infrastructure, energy and shared economy, edge computing and distributed computing power, and decentralized storage. Through blockchain and token incentives, DePIN integrates decentralized resources into an efficiently operating network. Projects like Helium's wireless network, DIMO's automotive IoT, Grass's data scraping platform, and io.net's computing power platform have already demonstrated the potential of DePIN.
The DePIN project has received significant investment in recent years, with fundraising increasing dramatically. From Q3 2023 to Q3 2024, the total funds raised by the DePIN project increased nearly sevenfold. In April of last year, Binance launched BNB Greenfield, which is an important milestone in the field of decentralized storage. Greenfield not only provides the core decentralized storage infrastructure for the BNB Chain ecosystem but also innovatively allows users and decentralized applications (DApp) to create, store, and trade fully autonomous data.
The entire DePIN industry currently has a market size of $90 billion, but 95% of its infrastructure capacity remains underutilized. In this favorable environment, 4EVERLAND, as an emerging project, has garnered significant attention. It is not only a Decentralization cloud computing platform, but also acts as a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN sector.
4EVERLAND integrates various DePIN technologies to "package" Web3's storage, computing, and network resources, providing them to customers on demand. For example, 4EVERLAND has established a close partnership with the leader in decentralized storage, Arweave, allowing users to efficiently and quickly access Arweave's storage services through 4EVERLAND. The famous open-source voting platform Snapshot is using 4EVERLAND's solution to store off-chain data on IPFS and Arweave, ensuring data verifiability and persistence.
The vision of 4EVERLAND is to become a bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, helping millions of Web3 applications and developers smoothly transition to a Decentralization architecture. By integrating a decentralized physical infrastructure network and community-contributed idle resources, 4EVERLAND provides efficient, secure, and scalable cloud services, gradually achieving this goal.
Project Background and Development
4EVERLAND was established in 2021 and is headquartered in Singapore, with investors including well-known institutions such as BIXIN, FENBUSHI, FBG, Mint Ventures, Arweave, and WaterDrip Capital. As a new generation Decentralization cloud service platform, 4EVERLAND integrates storage, networking, and computing capabilities, aiming to provide users with efficient, secure, and scalable cloud computing services through innovative technology architecture and resource integration models.
The architecture of 4EVER Network is positioned at the center of the DePIN ecosystem, aiming to efficiently integrate and utilize decentralized physical resources to provide infrastructure for millions of Web3 developers and applications. Its strategic focus includes two directions: first, deeply integrating existing DePIN protocols to maximize resource utilization efficiency; second, connecting idle physical resources globally to significantly reduce operational costs. 4EVERLAND is committed to building a decentralized cloud infrastructure for developers and enterprises, combining efficiency and resilience, and promoting a new era of sustainable cloud computing.
As an important supporter of BNB Greenfield, 4EVERLAND has deeply integrated into the BNB Chain ecosystem and has become a key player in Messari's DePIN map. It is more like an "infrastructure fanatic" in the DePIN ecosystem, helping global developers smoothly transition from Web2 to Web3, igniting a decentralized revolution in cloud computing.
Project Data
Since the launch of the 4EVERLAND mainnet, its development momentum has been rapid. The platform currently has over 3 million registered users, with daily active users (DAU) exceeding 100,000 and monthly active users (MAU) exceeding 1 million, covering over 250,000 developers and clients. Recent data shows that the number of independent active wallets (UAW) and transaction volume indicators are all showing a strong growth trend.
In the storage field, 4EVERLAND occupies an important position in multiple ecosystems:
4EVERLAND has provided storage and computing services for over 250,000 applications, including well-known projects such as Snapshot, Taiko, PumpFun, Linear Finance, and RSS3. Particularly, with support for Snapshot.org, 4EVERLAND has become the preferred storage solution for developers and teams with a 99.9% performance advantage. Additionally, it has received grants support from BNBChain, Polygon, Optimism, IPFS, Arweave, and ICP.
In terms of ecosystem support and wallet compatibility, 4EVERLAND is compatible with over 10 mainstream Web3 wallets, such as MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Binance Web3 Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet, providing convenient access methods and broader application scenarios for users and developers.
Token Economics
4EVERLAND adopts a dual-token economic model: $4EVER as the core governance token, and $LAND as the resource token.
$LAND, as a stablecoin and resource payment unit, is settled at a fixed exchange rate of ( USD = 1,000,000 $LAND ), used to measure and account for all resource consumption on the platform. $LAND is only used for resource payments within the 4EVERLAND ecosystem and cannot be traded on the secondary market, ensuring value stability.
$4EVER, as a governance and utility token, is the core carrier of the ecosystem's value. Its functions include node staking and rewards, value acquisition and repurchase mechanisms, resource payments, and ecological governance. The total supply of $4EVER is 10 billion, of which 70% is used to support node rewards, community development and operations, as well as user incentives.
Technical Architecture Principles
4EVER Network is a decentralized ecosystem that dynamically allocates global resources. At its core is the 4EVER DePIN aggregator, which integrates decentralized infrastructure from various fields, such as IPFS and Arweave for storage, Akash and IO.net for computing resources, and Fleek and Cloudflare for network services.
Resource providers contribute computing, storage, or network capabilities to the system by running specific programs. The 4EVER protocol is responsible for allocating tasks based on user demand, ensuring efficient resource utilization. The 4EVER nodes provide a convenient way for the community to participate in the operation of the network.
The 4EVER protocol verifies the credibility of resource providers through the Proof of Stake ( mechanism and ensures the healthy operation of the network through token staking, rewards, and penalty mechanisms. Ultimately, the 4EVER protocol integrates and virtualizes all resources, providing developers with a one-stop interface to meet diverse needs.
