4EVERLAND: Building a Decentralization Cloud Platform for the Web3 Era

1. Background Overview

In recent years, the emergence of cloud computing has rejuvenated traditional IT infrastructure. Centralized cloud computing has dominated the field, but the decentralized model is also rapidly rising, redefining the rules of the game in a more free, secure, and green way. Compared to traditional centralized models, decentralized cloud computing is becoming the future development direction due to its flexibility and privacy advantages.

Decentralized cloud computing no longer relies on super servers, with data distributed across global nodes. The ability to scale at any time and allocate resources on demand makes it far superior to traditional cloud solutions. People are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems, especially the Proof of Work ( PoW ) systems that consume large amounts of electricity and equipment. 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, comparable to the current carbon emissions of the United States.

In this context, DePIN( decentralized physical infrastructure networks) have emerged. DePIN covers areas such as network infrastructure, energy and shared economy, edge computing and distributed computing power, and decentralized storage. Through blockchain and token incentives, DePIN transforms dispersed 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 demonstrated the potential of DePIN.

The DePIN project has received significant investment in recent years, with fundraising increasing significantly. From Q3 2023 to Q3 2024, the total amount of funds raised by the DePIN project has increased nearly sevenfold. In April last year, Binance officially launched BNB Greenfield, which is an important milestone in the field of Decentralization storage. Greenfield provides the core Decentralization storage infrastructure for the BNB Chain ecosystem and innovatively allows users and decentralized applications (DApp) 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 has not been effectively utilized. In this favorable environment, the hot project 4EVERLAND is a rising star. It is not only a decentralized cloud computing platform but also serves as a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN sector.

4EVERLAND integrates various DePIN technologies to "package" Web3's storage, computing, and network resources and provide them to customers on demand. For example, 4EVERLAND has established a close partnership with Arweave, a leader in decentralized storage, allowing users to efficiently and quickly access Arweave's storage services through 4EVERLAND. The renowned open-source voting platform Snapshot uses 4EVERLAND's solution to store off-chain data on IPFS and Arweave, ensuring the verifiability and permanence of the data.

By integrating a decentralized physical infrastructure network and community-contributed idle resources, 4EVERLAND is gradually moving towards its vision: to become a bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, helping millions of Web3 applications and developers transition smoothly to a decentralized architecture.
