4EVERLAND's Decentralization cloud platform: An important infrastructure in the Web3 industry

In recent years, the rapid development of cloud computing technology has brought about tremendous changes to traditional IT infrastructure. While centralized cloud computing dominates, decentralized models are redefining industry rules in a more free, secure, and environmentally friendly way. Compared to traditional centralized models, decentralized cloud computing is becoming an important direction for future development due to its flexibility and privacy advantages.

Decentralized cloud computing no longer relies on a single super server but instead distributes data across nodes located globally. This design allows for scaling at any time and on-demand resource allocation, far exceeding the flexibility of traditional cloud services. At the same time, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems, especially the issues related to the energy consumption of Proof of Work (PoW) mechanisms. It is expected that by 2025, data centers will account for over 3% of global carbon emissions, potentially reaching 14% by 2040, equivalent to the current carbon emission levels of the United States.

In this context, DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) has emerged. DePIN encompasses several key areas including network infrastructure, energy and shared 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. Projects such as 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.

The DePIN project has received substantial investment in recent years, with a significant increase in fundraising scale. From the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024, the total funds raised by the DePIN project grew nearly sevenfold. In April of last year, Binance's launch of BNB Greenfield marked an important milestone in the field of decentralized storage, providing the core decentralized storage infrastructure for the BNB Chain ecosystem and allowing users and decentralized applications (DApp) to create, store, and trade fully autonomous data.

Currently, the entire DePIN industry's market size has reached $90 billion, but 95% of its infrastructure capacity has not been fully utilized. In this context, 4EVERLAND, as an emerging decentralized cloud computing platform, is gradually becoming a resource integrator in the DePIN space. Unlike projects in single domains like Filecoin (focused on storage) or io.net (focused on computing power), 4EVERLAND provides comprehensive solutions for storage, computing, and network resources by integrating various DePIN technologies.

4EVERLAND has established a close partnership with Arweave, a leader in the field of Decentralization storage, allowing users to efficiently and quickly utilize Arweave's storage services through 4EVERLAND. For example, 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 permanence 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 of becoming a bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, helping millions of Web3 applications and developers smoothly transition to a decentralized architecture.

4EVERLAND Overview

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 power, providing users with efficient, secure, and scalable cloud computing services through innovative technology architecture and resource integration models.

The architecture of 4EVER Network is positioned as the hub 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 aimed at developers and enterprises, characterized by efficiency and resilience, promoting a new era of sustainable cloud computing.

As an important supporter of BNB Greenfield, 4EVERLAND is deeply integrated into the BNB Chain ecosystem and has become a key player in Messari's DePIN map. It not only integrates resources from various parties but also helps global developers smoothly transition from Web2 to Web3, initiating a decentralization revolution in cloud computing.
