4EVERLAND: A pioneer in decentralized cloud computing integrating the DePIN track
1. Overview of 4EVERLAND
1.1 Project Overview
1.1.1 Market Background
In recent years, the development of cloud computing technology has brought tremendous changes to traditional IT infrastructure. While centralized cloud computing once dominated the market, decentralized models are rapidly rising, redefining industry rules in a more free, secure, and environmentally friendly way. Compared to traditional centralized solutions, decentralized cloud computing, with its flexibility and privacy advantages, is gradually becoming the trend for future development.
Decentralized cloud computing eliminates reliance on a single super server and instead distributes data across nodes located worldwide. This architecture not only supports on-demand scaling and allocation but also far surpasses traditional cloud services in terms of flexibility.
At the same time, there is increasing concern about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems. In particular, Proof of Work (PoW) systems consume a large amount of electricity and equipment resources. It is expected that by 2025, data centers will account for more than 3% of global carbon emissions. By 2040, digital data storage is projected to generate 14% of global carbon emissions, equivalent to the current carbon emission levels of the United States.
In this context, the DePIN( decentralized physical infrastructure network) has emerged. DePIN involves multiple key areas such as network infrastructure, energy and the sharing economy, edge computing and distributed computing power, and decentralized storage. Through blockchain and token incentive mechanisms, DePIN integrates dispersed resources into an efficiently operating network. Wireless network service providers like Helium, automotive IoT platform DIMO, data scraping platform Grass, and computing power platform io.net have already demonstrated the tremendous potential of the DePIN model.
In recent years, DePIN projects have received a significant amount of investment. From the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024, the total funds raised by DePIN projects increased nearly sevenfold. Additionally, in April of last year, a trading platform officially launched BNB Greenfield, which is an important milestone in the decentralized storage field. Greenfield not only provides the core decentralized storage infrastructure for the BNB Chain ecosystem but also innovatively allows users and decentralized applications to create, store, and trade completely autonomous data.
The entire DePIN industry currently has a market size of $90 billion, but 95% of its infrastructure capacity remains underutilized. Against this backdrop, 4EVERLAND, as an emerging project, is rapidly rising. It is not only a decentralized cloud computing platform but also serves as a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN track.
Unlike projects that focus solely on a single domain, 4EVERLAND integrates various DePIN technologies, consolidating Web3's storage, computing, and network resources to provide them to customers on demand. For example, 4EVERLAND has established a close partnership with Arweave, a leading project in the decentralized storage field, allowing users to efficiently utilize Arweave's storage services through 4EVERLAND. The well-known open-source voting platform Snapshot has adopted 4EVERLAND's solution to store off-chain data on IPFS and Arweave, ensuring the verifiability and persistence of the data.
By integrating a decentralized physical infrastructure network and community-contributed idle resources, 4EVERLAND provides efficient, secure, and scalable cloud services, gradually realizing its vision: to become a bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, helping millions of Web3 applications and developers smoothly transition to decentralized architecture.
1.1.2 Establishment and Development History
4EVERLAND was established in 2021 and is headquartered in Singapore. Its investors include well-known institutions such as BIXIN, FENBUSHI, FBG, Mint Ventures, Arweave, and WaterDrip Capital.
As a next-generation decentralized cloud service platform, 4EVERLAND integrates storage, networking, and computing capabilities, providing users with efficient, secure, and scalable cloud computing services through innovative technological architecture and resource integration models. The architecture of the 4EVER Network is positioned at the center of the DePIN ecosystem, aiming to efficiently integrate and utilize decentralized physical resources to provide infrastructure support for millions of Web3 developers and applications.
The strategic focus of 4EVERLAND includes two directions: first, deeply integrating the existing DePIN protocols to maximize resource utilization efficiency; second, connecting idle physical resources globally to significantly reduce operational costs. Through the combination of these two strategies, 4EVERLAND is committed to building a decentralized cloud infrastructure aimed at developers and enterprises, featuring both efficiency and resilience, and promoting a new era of sustainable cloud computing.
4EVERLAND is not developed independently, but has deeply integrated into the BNB Chain ecosystem, becoming an important supporter of BNB Greenfield. It is also listed on Messari's DePIN map, becoming a key participant in the field. The positioning of 4EVERLAND is more like an "infrastructure builder" in the DePIN ecosystem, helping global developers transition smoothly from Web2 to Web3 and promoting the decentralized revolution of cloud computing.

(# 1.4 Technical Architecture Principles
4EVER Network is a decentralized ecosystem that dynamically allocates global resources. Its core component, the 4EVER DePIN aggregator, integrates decentralized infrastructure from different domains, including storage from IPFS and Arweave, computing resources from Akash and IO.net, and network services from Fleek and Cloudflare.
Resource providers contribute computing, storage, or network capabilities by running specific programs. The 4EVER protocol allocates tasks based on user needs, ensuring efficient use of resources. 4EVER nodes provide the community with a way to participate in the operation of the network.
The 4EVER protocol verifies the credibility of resource providers through the Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism, using staking, rewards, and punishment mechanisms to ensure the healthy operation of the network. Ultimately, the 4EVER protocol integrates and virtualizes all resources, providing developers with a one-stop interface.
