1. Project Background and Development

1.1 Market Background

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

Decentralization cloud computing no longer relies on a super server, with data scattered like droplets across global nodes. It can scale at any time and allocate on demand, and this flexibility gives it a clear advantage over traditional cloud. In addition, people are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems. It is expected that by 2025, data centers will account for over 3% of global carbon emissions. By 2040, digital data storage is expected to generate 14% of global carbon emissions, comparable to the current carbon emissions of the United States.

This grand backdrop is the arena for DePIN( Decentralization Physical Infrastructure Network). DePIN covers multiple key areas, including network infrastructure, energy and sharing 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 remains underutilized. In this trending sector, the hot project 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 track.

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 groundbreaking technology, its strategic focus includes two directions: first, maximizing resource utilization efficiency through deep integration of existing DePIN protocols; second, achieving significant reductions in 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, featuring efficiency and resilience, driving a new era of sustainable cloud computing.

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.

3. Token Economics

The economic model of 4EVERLAND has been meticulously designed, featuring a unique dual-token economic model: $4EVER is the core governance token of 4EVERLAND, while $LAND is the resource token of 4EVERLAND. This aims to ensure the stability and security of the network while implementing a sustainable dynamic incentive mechanism.

) 3.1 $LAND: Stablecoin and resource payment unit

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 main settlement tool for all user services.

• Stable Value Peg: $LAND is pegged at a fixed 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, such as bandwidth, construction time, computing units, API calls, and node usage.
• Flexible exchange mechanism: Supports the conversion of various blockchain assets into $LAND, and the corresponding assets will be automatically converted into stablecoins and deposited into the treasury smart contract.
• Treasury Cycle: Assets deposited into the treasury will be converted into stablecoins and distributed through two main methods:
  • Ecosystem rewards: used for 4EVER buybacks and distributed as rewards to resource providers and 4EVER holders.
  • Token buybacks and burns: Increase the scarcity of 4EVER, thereby increasing its value.
• 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

As the governance and utility token of 4EVERLAND, $4EVER is the core carrier of the ecosystem's value, capable of addressing various use cases ranging from resource payments to value acquisition and Decentralization governance. It plays a crucial role in promoting the long-term sustainability of the system. The functions and roles of $4EVER:

• Node Staking and Rewards: 4EVER powers the PoS mechanism and AVS mechanism. 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, thereby promoting the circulation and demand for the tokens.
• Ecological Governance: As a governance token, 4EVER empowers holders with the right to participate in key decision-making processes, such as proposing suggestions and voting on platform upgrades, resource allocation, and shaping the future of the ecosystem.

$4EVER has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, of which 70% will be used to support 4EVER node rewards, community development and operations, as well as user incentives, promoting the prosperity of the Decentralization cloud computing ecosystem. The specific allocation ratio is: 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 Wizard" 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 master key for cloud services, capable of integrating decentralized infrastructures from different fields. For example, in storage, it integrates IPFS and Arweave, while computing resources utilize Akash and IO.net, and network services introduce capabilities from 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 network capabilities to the system by running specific integration programs. The 4EVER protocol acts like a "scheduler master", allocating tasks according to user needs, enabling resource providers to work efficiently and earn rewards. 4EVER nodes provide the community with an easy way to participate, allowing everyone to support the network operation by contributing idle resources.

In order to ensure that all resources operate efficiently and securely, the 4EVER protocol acts as 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 penalties. 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.

To put it in the simplest metaphor, 4EVER Network is like an intelligent, decentralized "super cloud service provider" that is not only efficient and flexible but also brings privacy and elasticity that traditional cloud computing finds hard to achieve.
