4EVERLAND: DePIN Aggregator Leading the Web3 Cloud Computing Revolution

1. Overview of 4EVERLAND

1.1 Project Introduction

1.1.1 Market Background

In recent years, the emergence of cloud computing technology has completely transformed the traditional IT infrastructure landscape. Although centralized cloud computing once dominated the field, decentralized models are rapidly rising, reshaping industry rules in a more free, secure, and environmentally friendly way. Let's compare the differences between centralized and decentralized cloud computing:

Decentralized cloud computing, with its advantages of flexibility and privacy, is becoming the future development direction. It no longer relies on a single super server, but instead distributes data across nodes around the world. This model can be scaled at any time and allocated on demand, offering flexibility far beyond traditional cloud services.

In addition, the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems is receiving increasing attention, particularly the proof-of-work ( PoW ) mechanism, which consumes a large amount 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 expected to generate 14% of global carbon emissions, equivalent to the current emission levels of the United States.

Against this backdrop, the DePIN( decentralized physical infrastructure network) has emerged. DePIN involves several key areas such as network infrastructure, energy and sharing economy, edge computing and distributed computing power, decentralized storage, and more. Through blockchain and token incentives, DePIN integrates 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 already demonstrated the immense potential of DePIN.

In recent years, DePIN projects have received significant investment, with fundraising scales increasing notably. For example, from the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024, the total funds raised by DePIN projects increased nearly sevenfold. In April 2023, a well-known exchange launched an important project in the decentralized storage sector called Greenfield, providing core decentralized storage infrastructure for the BNB Chain ecosystem, allowing users and decentralized applications to create, store, and trade fully autonomous data.

In this favorable situation, 4EVERLAND, as an emerging hotspot project, is rapidly rising. It is not only a decentralized cloud computing platform but also acts as a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN sector. This article will explore how 4EVERLAND addresses the problems faced by the industry.

Unlike Filecoin(, which focuses solely on a specific area of storage) or io.net( computing power), 4EVERLAND integrates various DePIN technologies to "package" Web3 storage, computing, and network resources, providing them to clients on demand. For example, 4EVERLAND has established a close collaboration with Arweave, a leader in the decentralized storage field, allowing users to efficiently utilize Arweave's storage services through 4EVERLAND. The renowned open-source voting platform Snapshot is using 4EVERLAND's solution to store off-chain data on IPFS and Arweave, ensuring data verifiability and persistence.

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