Its positioning is at 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.

1. Project Background and Development

1.1 Market Background

In recent years, the emergence of cloud computing has revitalized traditional IT infrastructure. Centralized cloud computing dominates the landscape, but decentralized models are also rapidly rising, redefining the rules of the game in a more free, secure, and green manner. Compared to traditional centralized models, decentralized cloud computing, with its flexibility and privacy advantages, is becoming the direction for future development.

Decentralized cloud computing no longer relies on a super server; data is scattered across global nodes like droplets of water. With the ability to scale at any time and allocate resources on demand, this flexibility gives it a significant advantage over traditional cloud. In addition, there is growing concern about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems. By 2025, data centers are expected to 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 emissions of the United States.

This large backdrop 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 scattered resources into an efficiently operating network.

The entire DePIN industry currently has a market size of $90 billion, but 95% of its infrastructure capacity is not being effectively utilized. In this promising landscape, 4EVERLAND is a rising star. It is not just a decentralized cloud computing platform; it is more like a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN sector.

1.2 Project Introduction

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

As a pioneering technology, its strategic focus includes two directions: first, maximizing resource utilization efficiency through in-depth integration of existing DePIN protocols; second, achieving the goal of significantly reducing 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.

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 solo, it resembles a "infrastructure madman" in the DePIN ecosystem, helping global developers smoothly transition from Web2 to Web3 and sparking a decentralized revolution in cloud computing.

3. Token Economics

4EVERLAND adopts a unique dual-token economic model: $4EVER is the core governance token of 4EVERLAND, while $LAND is the resource token of 4EVERLAND.

3.1 $LAND: Stablecoins and Resource Payment Units

The launch of $LAND is aimed at providing users with a stable and efficient resource payment system within the 4EVERLAND ecosystem. As a stable Token, it serves as the primary settlement tool for all user services.

• Stable value anchor: $LAND is pegged at a fixed exchange rate of (1 USD = 1,000,000 $LAND ) as a settlement tool for resource payments, effectively avoiding volatility risks.
• Resource Payment: $LAND is used to measure and account for all resource consumption on the 4EVERLAND platform.
• Flexible exchange mechanism: supports converting various blockchain assets into $LAND.
• Treasury Circulation: Assets deposited into the treasury will be converted into stablecoins and distributed through ecosystem rewards and token buybacks and burns.
• Non-circulating: $LAND is only used for resource payments within the 4EVERLAND ecosystem and cannot be traded on the secondary market, ensuring value stability.

3.2 $4EVER: Governance and Utility Token

$4EVER is the governance and utility token of 4EVERLAND, serving as the core carrier of the ecosystem's value.

• Node staking and rewards: Resource providers must stake $4EVER to participate in node elections and receive $4EVER as a reward for their contributions.
• Value Acquisition and Buyback Mechanism: The platform's revenue recovery mechanism allows $4EVER to acquire value from the treasury pool, enhancing the scarcity and value of $4EVER through the buyback and burn process.
• Resource Payment: Users can choose to exchange $4EVER for $LAND, and use $LAND to pay for service fees.
• Ecological Governance: $4EVER empowers holders with the authority to participate in key decision-making processes.

The total supply of $4EVER is 10 billion coins, of which 70% will be used to support 4EVER node rewards, community development and operations, as well as user incentives. The specific allocation ratios are: node rewards 40%, community funds 15%, operational funds 10%, user rewards 5%, with the remaining portion including token sales 15%, core team and advisors 12%, and initial liquidity and market-making funds 3%.

4. Technical Architecture Principles

4EVER Network is a decentralized ecosystem like a "resource magician" that can dynamically allocate resources globally, allowing both developers and users to enjoy a seamless and reliable service experience.

Its "secret weapon" is the 4EVER DePIN aggregator, a powerful tool that acts like a universal key for cloud services, capable of integrating decentralized infrastructure from different fields. For example, in storage, it integrates IPFS and Arweave, while computing resources utilize Akash and IO.net, and network services bring in the capabilities of Fleek and Cloudflare. This "puzzle-like" design of combining strong players allows developers and users to freely choose from these resources, selecting the services that best suit their needs, like a buffet.

Resource providers are the unsung heroes of this ecosystem. They contribute their computing, storage, or networking capabilities to the system by running specific integration programs. The 4EVER protocol acts like a "scheduler", allocating tasks according to user needs, allowing resource providers to complete their work efficiently and earn rewards. 4EVER nodes provide a way for the community to participate easily, enabling everyone to support network operations by contributing idle resources.

In order to ensure that all resources operate efficiently and safely, the 4EVER protocol plays the role of a "rule guardian." It utilizes the proof of stake ( PoS ) mechanism to verify the credibility of resource providers, while ensuring the healthy operation of the network through token staking, rewards, and punishment mechanisms. Ultimately, the 4EVER protocol integrates and virtualizes all resources through a series of modules, providing developers with a one-stop interface to easily meet diverse needs.

4.1 Calculation Provider

4EVER Network integrates platforms such as Akash, IO.net, and Render Network, providing underlying high-performance computing resources. From machine learning model training to virtual reality content creation, to video encoding and graphics rendering, these needs can all be met.

4.2 Storage Provider

4EVER Network integrates technologies such as IPFS, Arweave, and BNB Greenfield to provide developers with efficient and stable storage services. These decentralized storage methods avoid the common single point of failure issues found in traditional centralized systems, while also supporting fast data retrieval, making them particularly suitable for scientific research, content delivery networks ( CDN ), and blockchain applications.

4.3 Network Provider

4EVER Network provides stable connections and fast data transmission for applications in the network through platforms such as Fleek, Meson Network, and Saturn. Whether it is real-time video conferencing, online gaming, or IoT device management, this high-performance network ensures smooth data flow.

4.4 4EVER node

4EVER nodes integrate unused local hardware resources within the community. Unlike the operation of the DePIN protocol, 4EVER nodes directly virtualize users' computing, storage, and network resources, adding them to the entire network. This innovative model not only improves resource utilization but also encourages more community members to participate in platform development by sharing idle devices, ultimately bringing greater flexibility and stability to the network.
