Introduction

As the application scope of blockchain continues to expand, traditional centralized infrastructure is increasingly unable to meet the strict requirements of Web3 applications in terms of security, reliability, and decentralization. Decentralized storage and computing are becoming fundamental needs of the entire blockchain ecosystem. As an important participant in the Arweave ecosystem, 4EVERLAND is redefining industry standards through its innovative architecture and business model.

4EVERLAND is a Web3 distributed cloud computing platform that has launched an efficient and decentralized ecosystem called 4EVER Network. This network dynamically allocates global resources and provides comprehensive cloud services powered by decentralized technology. At the core of its architecture is the 4EVER DePIN aggregator, which intelligently integrates decentralized infrastructure solutions across multiple domains, including Arweave permanent storage resources, Akash computing resources, and network resources from Fleek and Cloudflare. With its core underlying capabilities that combine storage, networking, and computing, 4EVERLAND is dedicated to efficiently delivering the one-stop core cloud services required for the Web3 ecosystem to Web3 developers and users.

Existing Issues in Web3 Infrastructure

Web3 infrastructure has evolved from providing single-function solutions to offering integrated platforms. In the early stages, individual projects often focused on specific pain points, such as IPFS's immutable P2P storage transfer or Ethereum's focus on smart contracts. While this specialization fostered innovation, it also led to a fragmented infrastructure. With the explosive growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other applications after 2020, the market demand for integrated infrastructure has also surged significantly. In the corresponding growth market, Arweave's disruption of the traditional concept of permanent storage has greatly reshaped the industry landscape, providing a whole new set of solutions for Web3. However, in this process, we can still identify some challenges currently faced by Web3 infrastructure:

1. Fragmentation: Developers often need to integrate multiple service providers to deploy a complete application.

2. High Technical Barriers: Most Web3 infrastructure builds its own standards and lacks compatibility with Web2. This not only increases development costs but also limits the widespread adoption of Web3 applications.

3. Balancing Performance and Decentralization: How to achieve high performance while maintaining decentralization, and finding cost-effective storage solutions, remains an unresolved issue.

These challenges have created a demand for platforms like 4EVERLAND that provide integrated solutions for developers. The vision of 4EVERLAND is not just to offer standalone services; its goal is to build a comprehensive Web3 infrastructure ecosystem, similar to how people use AWS and Google Cloud in Web2.

4EVERLAND: Providing Developers with a One-Stop Dapp Building Solution

4EVERLAND is a decentralized cloud computing platform designed to provide efficient, secure, and scalable cloud services by integrating a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) with community-contributed idle resources. Just like centralized clouds such as AWS, 4EVERLAND integrates various storage, network, and computing resources through its DePIN network structure 4EVER Network on one hand, and on the other hand, builds various middleware services and developer tools based on its powerful underlying capabilities, enabling developers to quickly and easily leverage the underlying features of the 4EVER Network to efficiently build Web3.0 applications.

4EVER Network

4EVER Network is a key cornerstone of 4EVERLAND, integrating various idle resources to provide foundational capabilities such as storage, networking, and computing for the platform and its users. The fundamental architectural principle of 4EVER Network is to create an efficient, decentralized ecosystem that can dynamically allocate resources globally. This innovative design not only enhances the operational capacity of the network but also ensures that developers receive stable and reliable services, facilitating the seamless operation of their applications.

4EVER Network consists of three key components: the 4EVER Protocol, the 4EVER DePIN Aggregator, and the 4EVER Node. The 4EVER Protocol is the core framework for resource integration and management, ensuring the stability and reliability of resource providers. Additionally, the 4EVER DePIN Aggregator interfaces with existing decentralized infrastructure networks, providing highly available storage, computing, and networking capabilities, while the 4EVER Node empowers community members to operate nodes and contribute virtual storage, computing, and networking resources, thereby optimizing overall resource utilization.
