1.1 Project Introduction

1.1.1 Market Background

In recent years, the development of cloud computing technology has revitalized traditional IT infrastructure. While centralized cloud computing dominates the market, the decentralized model is rapidly emerging, redefining industry rules in a more free, secure, and environmentally friendly manner.

Compared to traditional centralized models, decentralized cloud computing, with its flexibility and privacy advantages, is becoming a major direction for future development. It no longer relies on a single super server, but instead distributes data across nodes located around the world, achieving flexibility in scaling and on-demand allocation.

As people's attention to the environmental impact of cryptocurrency systems increases, especially regarding the issues of energy consumption and equipment in Proof of Work ( PoW ) systems, decentralized infrastructure networks ( DePIN ) have emerged. DePIN encompasses several key areas, including network infrastructure, energy and sharing economy, edge computing and distributed computing power, and decentralized storage. Through blockchain and token incentives, DePIN integrates dispersed resources into an efficiently operating network.

The DePIN project has received a significant amount of investment in recent years, with fundraising scale notably increasing. From the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024, the total amount of funds raised by the DePIN project increased nearly 7 times. In April 2023, BNB Greenfield launched by Binance became an important milestone in the field of decentralized storage, providing the core decentralized storage infrastructure for the BNB Chain ecosystem.

In this context, 4EVERLAND, as an emerging decentralized cloud computing platform, is rapidly rising. It not only provides cloud computing services but also serves as a resource aggregator for the entire DePIN track. By integrating various DePIN technologies, 4EVERLAND "packages" Web3's storage, computing, and network resources, providing them to customers on demand.

) 1.3 Token Economics

The economic model of 4EVERLAND is carefully designed, and its economic ecosystem adopts a unique dual-token economy model: $4EVER is the core governance token of 4EVERLAND, while $LAND is the resource token of 4EVERLAND. It aims to ensure the stability and security of the network while implementing a sustainable dynamic incentive mechanism.

1.3.1 $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 Peg: $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, such as bandwidth, build time, compute units, API calls, and node usage.
• Flexible exchange mechanism: supports converting 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 the repurchase of 4EVER and distributed as rewards for resource providers and 4EVER holders.
  • Token buyback and burn: 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.

)# 1.3.2 $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 from resource payment to value acquisition and decentralized 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 of the tokens.
• Ecological Governance: As a governance token, 4EVER empowers holders with the authority to participate in critical decision-making processes, such as proposing suggestions and voting on platform upgrades, resource allocation, and shaping the future of the ecosystem.

The total supply of $4EVER is 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 prosperous development of the decentralized cloud computing ecosystem. The specific allocation ratio is: node rewards 40%, community funding 15%, operational funding 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%.

Essentially, 4EVER is the cornerstone of the 4EVERLAND ecosystem's functionality and value acquisition. It not only supports the daily operational needs of the platform but also enhances transparency and fairness through a decentralized governance system. As the platform continues to expand, 4EVER will increasingly serve a broader audience, including node operators, developers, and community participants.

) 1.4 Technical Architecture Principles

4EVER Network is a decentralized ecosystem that acts like a "resource magician" to dynamically allocate resources globally, providing developers and users with 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, computational resources utilize Akash and IO.net, while network services introduce 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 network capabilities to the system by running specific integration programs. The 4EVER protocol acts like a "scheduler", allocating tasks based on user needs, allowing resource providers to efficiently complete their work and receive rewards. 4EVER nodes also provide an easy way for the community to participate, enabling everyone to support network operations by contributing idle resources.

In order to ensure that all resources operate efficiently and securely, 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 penalties. Ultimately, the 4EVER protocol integrates and virtualizes all resources through a series of modules.
