4EVERLAND: Reconstructing a new paradigm for Web3 infrastructure

With the core underlying capabilities of integrating storage, network, and computing, 4EVERLAND is committed to efficiently delivering the one-stop core cloud services required by the Web3 ecosystem for Web3 developers and users.

Introduction

With the continuous expansion of the scope of blockchain applications, 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 the basic 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, the 4EVER Network. The network dynamically allocates global resources and provides comprehensive cloud services driven by decentralized technology. At the core of its architecture is the 4EVER DePIN aggregator, which intelligently integrates decentralized infrastructure solutions from multiple fields, including Arweave permanent storage resources, Akash and IO.net computing resources, and Fleek and Cloudflare network resources. With the core underlying capabilities that integrate storage, networking, and computing, 4EVERLAND is committed to efficiently delivering one-stop core cloud services required by the Web3 ecosystem for Web3 developers and users.

Existing Problems with Web3 Infrastructure

Web3 infrastructure has evolved from providing single-function solutions to providing integrated platforms. In the early stages, individual projects tended to focus on specific pain points, such as IPFS's immutable P2P storage transfer or Ethereum's focus on smart contracts. While this specialization has promoted innovation, it has also led to the fragmentation of infrastructure. With the explosive growth of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other applications after 2020, the market demand for integrated infrastructure has also increased significantly. In the corresponding growth market, Arweave's subversion of the traditional concept of permanent storage has also greatly reshaped the industry landscape and provided a new set of solutions for Web3. However, in this process, we can still find some challenges facing the current Web3 infrastructure: 1. Fragmentation: Developers often need to integrate multiple service providers to deploy complete applications. 2. High technical barriers: Most Web3 infrastructures build their own standards and lack compatibility with Web2. This not only increases development costs, but also limits the large-scale popularization of Web3 applications. 3. Balance between performance and decentralization: How to achieve high performance while maintaining decentralization and find cost-effective storage solutions are still unsolved problems. These challenges have given rise to the need for platforms like 4EVERLAND that provide developers with integrated solutions. 4EVERLAND's vision is not just to provide independent services, its goal is to build a holistic Web3 infrastructure ecosystem, just like AWS and Google Cloud for Web2.

4EVERLAND: Providing developers with a one-stop Dapp building solution

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

4EVER Network

4EVER Network is an important cornerstone of 4EVERLAND, which integrates various idle resources to provide basic capabilities such as storage, network and computing for the platform and its users. The basic architectural principle of 4EVER Network is to create an efficient and decentralized ecosystem that can dynamically allocate resources on a global scale. This innovative design not only enhances the network's operational capabilities, but also ensures that developers receive stable and reliable services to facilitate the seamless operation of their applications.

4EVER Network consists of three key parts, including 4EVER Protocol, 4EVER DePIN Aggregator and 4EVER Node. 4EVER Protocol is the core framework for resource integration and management, which ensures the stability and reliability of resource providers. In addition, 4EVER DePIN aggregators connect to existing decentralized infrastructure networks to provide highly available storage, computing, and network capabilities, while 4EVER Node empowers community members to operate nodes and contribute virtual storage, computing, and network resources, thereby optimizing overall resource utilization.

4EVERLAND Core Products

DWeb Hosting

Currently, most decentralized applications (dApps) have only achieved decentralization in their smart contract components, while their front-ends are usually hosted on centralized servers. With Hosting, developers can easily deploy front-end code to decentralized networks such as Arweave, IPFS, and BNB Greenfield, achieving end-to-end decentralization from the user interface to the back-end.

Bucket, compatible with AWS S3

Bucket provides developers with efficient decentralized data storage solutions, supporting multiple protocols including Arweave and IPFS. Users can operate data through S3 API or Storage SDK to ensure the reliability, high redundancy and security of data backup, while significantly reducing storage costs.

Global Acceleration Gateway

The global acceleration gateway provided by 4EVERLAND provides developer users with efficient data access capabilities such as Arweave/IPFS. The gateway has automatic SSL certificate management, custom domain support and global acceleration functions, ensuring low latency and high availability by creating high-performance dedicated gateway services.

RPC

4EVERLAND provides high-performance RPC services, supporting multiple chains such as Ethereum, Polygon, BNBChain, Optimism, etc.

RaaS (Rollup as a Service)

4EVERLAND's RaaS service provides the ability to quickly create and manage second-layer solutions, supporting Ethereum and BNB Chain, etc. Developers can deploy Rollup with just a click of the mouse. In addition, the Arweave data backup function ensures the permanent preservation of critical data and enhances the verifiability and resilience of the 2-layer blockchain.

AI RPC

4EVERLAND's AI RPC provides a unified interface for using a variety of large language models (LLMs), enabling users to discover, compare, and select models and pricing options based on their specific requirements without having to deal with the complexity of deploying these large and complex open source LLMs. AI RPC enables users to connect to the most appropriate models (both open source and proprietary), providing a range of models with different capabilities and expertise.

4EVERLAND's Ecosystem Synergy with Arweave

As an important part of the Arweave ecosystem, 4EVERLAND has made significant progress in technology integration. By deeply embedding the Arweave protocol, 4EVERLAND simplifies the process for developers to access permanent storage solutions and significantly lowers the entry barrier. This synergy is not only reflected in the technical level, but also in community building and resource sharing.

Eco-value: A key enabler of Web3 infrastructure
