4EVERLAND: A New Star in the DePIN Track Integrating Decentralization Cloud Resources

1. Overview of 4EVERLAND

1.1 Project Introduction

1.1.1 Market Background

In recent years, the emergence of cloud computing has revitalized traditional IT infrastructure. We have witnessed the dominance of centralized cloud computing, but the decentralized model is also rapidly rising, redefining the rules of the game in a more free, secure, and green way. So, what are the differences between centralized cloud computing and decentralized cloud computing? Let's take a look first:

From the comparison, it can be seen that compared to traditional centralized models, decentralized cloud computing is becoming the future direction due to its flexibility and privacy advantages. How special is decentralized cloud computing? It no longer relies on a super server; data is scattered like droplets across nodes around the globe. It can expand at any time and allocate resources on demand, making this flexibility far superior to traditional cloud.

In addition, people are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems. In particular, the Proof of Work (PoW) system ultimately consumes a large amount of electricity and equipment. It is estimated that by 2025, data centers will account for more than 3% of global carbon emissions. By 2040, digital data storage is expected to generate 14% of global carbon emissions, comparable to the current carbon emissions of the United States.

This broad background is the battlefield for DePIN( decentralized physical infrastructure networks). DePIN covers multiple key areas, including network infrastructure, energy and shared economy, edge computing and distributed computing power, decentralized storage, and more. Through blockchain and token incentives, DePIN transforms dispersed resources into an efficiently operating network. Helium's wireless network, DIMO's automotive IoT, Grass's data scraping platform, and io.net's computing power platform—these projects have already demonstrated the potential of DePIN through practical actions.

In fact, DePIN projects have received significant investment in recent years, with fundraising also notably increasing. For example, from Q3 2023 to Q3 2024, the total funds raised by DePIN projects increased nearly 7 times. Additionally, in April 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 ( DApp ) to create, store, and trade fully autonomous data.

The entire DePIN industry currently has a market size of 90 billion dollars, but 95% of its infrastructure capacity is not effectively utilized. In this favorable situation, the hot project 4EVERLAND is a rising star. It is not just a decentralized cloud computing platform; it acts more like a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN track. Today, let's talk about how 4EVERLAND addresses this issue.

Unlike Filecoin( storage) or io.net( computing power) that focus solely on one area, 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 Arweave, a leader in decentralized storage, allowing users to efficiently and quickly utilize Arweave's storage services through 4EVERLAND. For instance, the famous open-source voting platform Snapshot( is using 4EVERLAND's solution to store off-chain data on IPFS), a network transmission protocol aimed at achieving distributed storage, sharing, and persistence of files, and on the Arweave( decentralized storage network), ensuring the verifiability and persistence of data.

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

1.1.2 Establishment and Development History

4EVERLAND was established in 2021, headquartered in Singapore, with investors including well-known names such as BIXIN, FENBUSHI, FBG, Mint Ventures, Arweave, WaterDrip Capital, and others.

4EVERLAND is a next-generation decentralized cloud service platform that integrates storage, networking, and computing capabilities, aiming to provide users with efficient, secure, and scalable cloud computing services through innovative technological architecture and resource integration models. The architecture of 4EVER Network is positioned as the core of the DePIN ecosystem, aiming to efficiently integrate and utilize decentralized physical resources to provide infrastructure for millions of Web3 developers and applications.

As a groundbreaking technology, its strategic focus includes two directions: first, maximizing resource utilization efficiency through in-depth integration of existing DePIN protocols; second, achieving significant reductions in operational costs by connecting idle physical resources globally. By combining these two strategies, 4EVERLAND is committed to building a decentralized cloud infrastructure for developers and enterprises, characterized by efficiency and resilience, driving a new era of sustainable cloud computing.

Moreover, 4EVERLAND is not fighting alone. As an important supporter of BNB Greenfield, it is deeply integrated into the BNB Chain ecosystem and has become a key player in Messari's DePIN map. Rather than going it alone, it is more like a "infrastructure fanatic" in the DePIN ecosystem, helping global developers smoothly transition from Web2 to Web3 and igniting a decentralized revolution in cloud computing.
