The Synergy of Decentralized Naming and Hosting

Alone, decentralized frontends and naming services add value — but together, they transform the Web3 experience from fragmented and complex to intuitive and resilient. Here’s how:

1. Closing the Usability Gap

Web3’s complexity has long hindered accessibility. Users grapple with cumbersome blockchain addresses (e.g., 0x123…abc) and unreliable centralized frontends prone to outages. Decentralized naming services, such as Ethereum Name Service (ENS) or SPACE ID, replace cryptic addresses with intuitive domains (e.g., alice.eth). Meanwhile, decentralized hosting platforms like 4EVERLAND, leveraging IPFS or Arweave, ensure frontends remain accessible by eliminating single points of failure. Together, they enable users to deploy a dApp on 4EVERLAND, bind it to an ENS domain, and access it via a simple URL (e.g., alice.eth.limo). This delivers Web2-level simplicity with Web3’s robust security, making dApps as intuitive as traditional websites.

2. Enhancing Infrastructure Resilience

Centralized Web2 frontends rely on single servers, leaving them vulnerable to hardware failures, service disruptions, or provider decisions that can disable entire applications. Decentralized hosting distributes content across global nodes, ensuring continuous availability even if individual nodes fail. When paired with on-chain domains like ENS, which are fully user-controlled and immune to third-party suspension, the entire access chain — from domain to frontend — becomes resilient. This creates a robust, uninterruptible user experience, free from centralized control.

3. Enabling Portable Digital Sovereignty

Web3 envisions a user-owned internet where identities and assets are platform-agnostic. Decentralized domains serve as portable identities, allowing a single address (e.g., alice.eth) to function across DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and social platforms without requiring multiple accounts. Decentralized hosting extends this sovereignty by enabling users to maintain their own digital presence — such as an NFT gallery or blog — linked to their domain. For example, a creator can deploy an NFT showcase on 4EVERLAND, associate it with maria.eth, and share maria.eth.limo. Even if a platform removes their content, their showcase and domain remain under their control, embodying true ownership.

Why This Combination Is Web3’s Standard

Web3’s promise of a trustless, user-controlled internet hinges on a unified approach to identity and access. Decentralized naming and hosting are the linchpin, addressing critical weaknesses and aligning with Web3’s core values:

1. Resolving the Accessibility Blind Spot

Every Web3 application requires a frontend — the user’s entry point. If hosted centrally, it undermines the decentralized backend, creating a single point of failure. Decentralized hosting ensures the frontend is as resilient as the blockchain, but accessibility depends on a user-friendly entry point. Decentralized domains bridge this gap, making frontends discoverable and usable.

2. Transforming Unusable Links into User-Friendly Access

Decentralized frontends hosted on IPFS generate complex hashes (e.g., ipfs://QmXYZ…123), which are secure but impractical for everyday use. Decentralized domains map these hashes to memorable names like alice.eth, enabling intuitive access via gateways like eth.limo. This transforms technical infrastructure into a practical resource for all users.

3. Upholding User Control

Web3 prioritizes shifting power from corporations to individuals. Centralized frontends and domains cede control to providers and registrars. By combining decentralized hosting (user-controlled access) with decentralized domains (user-controlled entry points), this standard ensures complete ownership over the digital experience, fulfilling Web3’s core ethos.

The Path to a Unified, User-Owned Web

Decentralized frontends and naming services aren’t just two technologies — they’re the backbone of a Web3 where users control their identity, their apps, and their data. ENS and SpaceID are building the naming layer that makes this possible, while 4EVERLAND provides the frontend infrastructure to tie it all together. As this combination becomes the standard, Web3 won’t just be “better than Web2” — it’ll be the internet we’ve always wanted: open, resilient, and owned by the people who use it.

When designing NFTs, developers need to take a decentralized-first approach for their metadata storage. This ensures the metadata remains immutable and accessible—even when centralized web servers fail. In this article, we’ll explain why using decentralized storage solutions like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and Arweave is critical for NFTs, highlight the disadvantages of HTTP links, and provide practical tips for leveraging 4EVERLAND to store NFT metadata in a decentralized way.

Why Decentralized Storage Matters for NFT Assets

NFTs are inherently tied to blockchain, providing ownership and proof of authenticity. However, most blockchains cannot store large files (such as images or videos) directly. Instead, NFTs reference off-chain resources where the actual content, like artwork or other files, is stored. Traditionally, these references are HTTP-based URLs (e.g., https://example.com/assets/1.jpg), but this approach has several downsides:

1. Centralized Dependency
   HTTP URLs rely on centralized servers. If the server goes offline or the domain expires, the linked NFT asset becomes inaccessible.

2. Risk of Manipulation
   Centralized hosts can modify file content or reassign URLs, undermining the immutability expected of NFTs.

3. Lack of Longevity
   Centralized web services can shut down or lose data, while NFTs are often intended to exist as permanent digital assets.

Decentralized storage solutions, such as IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and Arweave, solve these issues by ensuring files are stored immutably and distributed across a network of nodes, making them persistent and resistant to loss or tampering.

Best Practices for Storing NFT Assets

When designing your NFT metadata for decentralized storage, the key is to reference assets (like images) using content addressing rather than location-based URLs. The following summarizes how to properly store and reference NFT assets:

Use Content Identifiers (CIDs) with IPFS

• IPFS identifies files based on their Content Identifier (CID), a cryptographic hash of the file contents.

• Instead of linking an asset using http://example.com/1.jpg, developers should reference the file using ipfs://<CID>.

Store Files with Arweave Transaction Hashes

• Arweave provides permanent, immutable storage for files. Each file has its own unique transaction hash (ar://<transaction_hash>).

• Like IPFS, you can reference assets in metadata using Arweave’s transaction hash. However, for projects with many files (e.g., NFT collections), combining them into a Path Manifest simplifies organization and usage.

The takeaway: Always design NFTs to link to content with an IPFS CID or Arweave hash, not an HTTP link.

How to Use 4EVERLAND for Storing NFT Assets

4EVERLAND is a web3 AI cloud platform that integrates IPFS and Arweave, making it the ideal tool for storing NFT assets and setting up metadata references. Below is a step-by-step guide to leveraging 4EVERLAND for your project.

Step 1: Upload Your Files to 4EVERLAND Bucket

1. Sign up at 4EVERLAND Dashboard.

2. Navigate to the Bucket service. Buckets are used to organize and store your project files.

3. Create a new bucket and upload your folders. For example:

   assets/
     ├── 1.jpg
     ├── 2.jpg
     └── ...
   

4. Once your files are uploaded, you’ll see the directory structure in the bucket dashboard.

Step 2: Generate a Snapshot and Root CID (IPFS) or Using Arweave Path Manifests

4EVERLAND allows you to create snapshots, which generate an IPFS Root CID for your entire directory:

After uploading the folder containing your assets, select the folder and click the Snapshot button.

The Root CID will be generated, representing the top-level directory and all its contents. For instance:

Root IPFS CID: QmXf...YzA

You can now reference individual files in your metadata by appending their relative paths to the Root CID:

• For example, for file 1.jpg: ipfs://QmXf...YzA/1.jpg

Using Arweave Path Manifests:

If you prefer Arweave, 4EVERLAND supports Path Manifests. Arweave Path Manifests are files (in JSON format) that act as a mapping layer for accessing a directory of content stored on the Arweave network. Rather than requiring you to memorize separate transaction hashes for every individual file, a Path Manifest allows you to organize and reference files using human-readable paths (just like directories on a web server).

Here’s an example Path Manifest structure:

{
  "manifest": "arweave/paths",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "index": {
    "path": "/metadata/1.json"
  },
  "paths": {
    "assets/1.jpg": {
      "id": "b9McTx56789..."
    },
    "assets/2.jpg": {
      "id": "deFcTx43842..."
    }
  }
}

• The index field marks the primary file or entry point (in this case, metadata/1.json).

• The paths field maps file paths (e.g., /assets/1.jpg) to their transaction IDs on Arweave.

• You can now as well reference individual files in your metadata by appending Path Manifest :

  • For example, for file 1.jpg: ar://manifest arhash/1.jpg

Step 3: Structuring Your NFT Metadata

An NFT metadata file (e.g., 1.json) is typically a JSON file that defines the attributes and traits of an NFT. It should include links to image assets using the root CID. Here’s an example:

{
  "name": "NFT #1",
  "description": "This is NFT #1 from my awesome collection.",
  "image": "ipfs://QmXf...YzA/1.jpg",//or ar://arhash/1.jpg
  "attributes": [
    {
      "trait_type": "Background",
      "value": "Blue"
    },
    {
      "trait_type": "Eyes",
      "value": "Green"
    }
  ]
}

This article will take you to understand the importance of frontend decentralization and how 4EVERLAND can safeguard the Web 3.0 ecosystem through simple and efficient solutions.

Why is Frontend Decentralization So Important?

In blockchain applications, the frontend serves as the window through which users interact with blockchain. If the frontend is hosted on traditional centralized servers, it may face the risk of single-point failures or attacks. Once hackers invade the frontend, users may be directed to fake interfaces, resulting in data leakage or even financial losses.

In February 2025, the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit suffered a severe hacker attack, losing approximately $1.4 billion worth of Ethereum. This incident stemmed from vulnerabilities in the frontend infrastructure of Safe(Wallet). Hackers broke into Safe developers’ machines through social engineering, implanted malicious JavaScript, and tampered with Bybit’s trading interface. Unknowingly, Bybit employees conducted transfer operations, and the funds were transferred to addresses controlled by hackers.

This incident exposed the fatal weakness of centralized frontends: once the frontend is tampered with, users will face huge security risks. It not only damages user trust but also sounds the alarm for the entire industry.

Imagine such a scenario: a centralized frontend is breached by malicious code, with its core logic surreptitiously altered — users unknowingly interact with tampered interfaces, putting their assets at risk. In contrast, a decentralized frontend built on IPFS/AR protocols leverages their immutable data properties. Every piece of content is anchored with cryptographic guarantees, making unauthorized tampering virtually impossible. Beyond tamper resistance, decentralized frontends also address availability risks: by distributing content across multiple nodes, they ensure services remain accessible even if individual nodes fail. This dual protection — against tampering and downtime — embodies the security vision of Web 3.0.

Uniswap and Lido: Successful Practices of IPFS CID

Faced with the risks of centralized frontends, some leading blockchain projects have taken action. Uniswap and Lido have significantly improved frontend security and reliability by using IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and CID (Content Identifier) technologies.

Uniswap’s IPFS Deployment

The decentralized exchange Uniswap deploys its frontend interface on IPFS and generates a unique CID for each version. The CID is like a “digital fingerprint”, through which users can verify the authenticity of the frontend content and ensure that they are accessing the untampered official interface. Even if the frontend is attacked, users can still access the secure version through the IPFS gateway to ensure transaction security. This method not only improves security but also enhances users’ trust in the platform.

Lido’s IPFS Practice

The staking service platform Lido deploys its frontend staking widget on IPFS and uses CID to ensure content integrity. Even if the main hosting service is interrupted due to failures or attacks, users can still access the real frontend interface through the IPFS network, avoiding service unavailability or security risks caused by single-point problems. This decentralized approach provides additional protection for Lido’s users and sets a benchmark for the industry.

These practices show that IPFS can effectively address frontend security challenges, providing users and developers with higher credibility and reliability. Within these successful cases, 4EVERLAND is committed to promoting our technologies to more scenarios.

By choosing 4EVERLAND, developers not only enhance the security of their applications but also contribute to the broader goal of a decentralized web.

Use Case 1: NFTs — Simplifying Storage for Digital Ownership

As NFTs transition from hype to integral components of various industries — such as gaming, identity systems, and intellectual property — the need for permanent access to associated metadata and assets grows exponentially. The fate of many early NFTs serves as a cautionary tale, where “link rot” on centralized servers has irreparably diminished their value.

4EVERLAND offers an elegant solution by enabling developers to easily integrate IPFS through AWS-S3-compatible APIs and automate workflows for pinning content. This means that developers and creators can ensure that new NFTs, from metadata to high-resolution media, are uploaded and preserved on IPFS as soon as they’re minted. CIDs (Content Identifiers) are then anchored on blockchains (e.g., Ethereum, BSC, Polygon), ensuring verifiable authenticity over time.

• Why it works: With tools such as the 4EVERLAND Bucket, developers can eliminate the need for intensive manual setups, securely managing storage lifecycles to provide their users with peace of mind and perpetual access to NFT data.

• Example implementation: Platforms like OpenSea or Blur can leverage 4EVERLAND to remove the risk of NFT value loss by securely preserving file references off-chain while keeping verification lightweight within smart contract logic.

Use Case 2: Transparent Voting Records for Governance in Web3

Decentralization has redefined governance in the digital age, with tools like Snapshot leading the charge by powering trustless and transparent on-chain voting systems. To ensure tamper-proof and visible vote records for decentralized organizations (DAOs), Snapshot leverages 4EVERLAND to store vote data directly onto IPFS.

Snapshot utilizes 4EVERLAND’s IPFS integration to securely store off-chain voting records, ensuring the data is accessible permanently through cryptographic CIDs, even if Snapshot’s servers face downtime. DAO participants can retrieve and verify voting results anytime via a CID, which maintains transparency and eliminates the centralized risks of vote tampering or data loss.

• Example in action: Snapshot’s integration with 4EVERLAND has powered voting systems for DAOs like Aave and Uniswap, ensuring that governance participants can trust the integrity and availability of election data well into the future.

By storing essential governance data on IPFS via 4EVERLAND, decentralized decision-making achieves credibility and auditability without centralized intermediaries.

Use Case 3: Decentralized Static Website Hosting with Resilience

Whether for Web3 startups or individual developers, hosting static websites has become an increasingly decentralized endeavor. 4EVERLAND Hosting allows anyone to deploy static sites directly onto IPFS, leveraging a global peer-to-peer network to eliminate traditional single points of failure.

• How it works: By simply connecting GitHub repositories, developers can host static websites, including personal portfolios, documentation pages, or dApp frontends. CIDs ensure that hosted assets are distributed across IPFS nodes worldwide, enabling fast access, censorship resistance, and data permanence.

• Benefits:
  - No reliance on centralized CDNs or hosting platforms for global delivery.
  - Immutable CIDs ensure that users always receive the trusted versions of your site.
  - Cost reductions compared to subscription-based hosting providers.

For websites prioritizing transparency, immutability, or decentralized delivery, 4EVERLAND Hosting offers the perfect IPFS-powered solution.

Use Case 4: Real-World Public Sector Implementations of IPFS

Governments and public organizations are increasingly turning to IPFS for critical transparency and accountability initiatives. Unlike centralized cloud solutions, IPFS enhances tamper-proof archiving and resilience. Real-world examples include:

• Election transparency in South Africa: During municipal elections, an alliance of civic tech organizations used IPFS to disseminate votes and audit data, ensuring citizens could verify the results in real-time.

• COVID-19 research data repositories: Organizations such as COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium distributed genome sequencing data through a decentralized IPFS network, ensuring researchers worldwide could access the data without geopolitical constraints or network bottlenecks.

While these examples highlight IPFS’s utility, platforms like 4EVERLAND bring additional scalability through automated tools (e.g., one-click uploads, global backup distribution) that adapt these frameworks for public sector use.

Use Case 5: dApp Scaling Without Compromising Trust

As decentralized applications (dApps) rapidly scale, on-chain storage becomes prohibitively expensive for certain use cases — such as social content storage or application logs. 4EVERLAND bridges the gap by storing large, verifiable datasets on IPFS while maintaining seamless integration with blockchains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana.

By directing non-critical data (e.g., user-generated content, large multimedia files) to 4EVERLAND’s IPFS storage, gas costs are reduced significantly, while CIDs maintain integrity across chains:

• Example: SocialFi apps like Friend.tech could leverage this framework to offload heavy multimedia data yet maintain links to immutable versions via CIDs for verification.

Additionally, 4EVERLAND’s integration with Filecoin ensures incentivized and redundant file storage, solving the longevity challenges traditionally associated with decentralized networks.

IPFS + 4EVERLAND: Beyond Storage, Toward Sovereignty

In 2025, the difference between theoretical decentralization and practical adoption lies in infrastructure that’s reliable, scalable, and easy to integrate. 4EVERLAND’s IPFS-powered tools are making that transition seamless — whether you’re an NFT creator, a city government, or a research lab.

The future of data isn’t centralized. It’s permanent, accessible, and owned by its users. And with 4EVERLAND and IPFS, that future is here.

Enter 4EVERLAND RPC — a robust, scalable remote procedure call service that lets you connect to mainstream blockchains via simple API requests, eliminating the need for node management.

This guide walks you through everything from foundational RPC concepts to advanced features like Archive Nodes and resource optimization.

What is RPC? A Quick Primer

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol that enables one program to execute a function on another server over a network. In blockchain terms, JSON-RPC is the standard for client-node communication, used by Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and others. It allows apps to:

• Read blockchain data (e.g., account balances, transaction history),

• Send transactions and interact with smart contracts,

• Access historical blockchain data via archive nodes.

JSON-RPC is lightweight, stateless, and universal, ensuring compatibility across different blockchain clients (e.g., Geth for Ethereum, Erigon for Bitcoin).

Understand Compute Units (CUs) and CUPS

What Are CUs?

CUs (Compute Units) measure the resource cost of each RPC method. Each method has a unique CU value based on complexity:

• Simple reads (e.g., eth_blockNumber): Low CU cost (1–5 CUs).

• Complex operations (e.g., debug_traceTransaction): Higher CU cost (100+ CUs, due to intensive computation).

What are CUPS?

CUPS (CUs per Second) is your rate limit — the maximum CUs you can consume per second.

For example:

• A Free Key with 300 CU/S can send 300 CUs worth of requests every second (e.g., 300 simple reads or 3 complex traces).

View Method-Specific CUs

Refer to the 4EVERLAND RPC Documentation for a full list of methods and their CU costs. Optimize by prioritizing low-CU methods for frequent operations.

Best Practices for Optimization

• Batch Requests: Use JSON-RPC batch requests to reduce overhead (e.g., fetch multiple account balances in one call).

• Cache Data: Store frequently accessed data (e.g., token prices) locally to minimize RPC calls.

• Test with Free Key: Validate your setup using the free tier before scaling to Pay as You Go.

What is 4EVER Network?

At its core, the 4EVER Network is a decentralized infrastructure platform that leverages idle resources from community members and integrates widely-used decentralized infrastructure networks (DePIN) to provide cloud services. Unlike traditional cloud computing, which relies on centralized providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud, the 4EVER Network offers highly efficient, secure, and scalable cloud services built atop decentralized physical infrastructure.

The 4EVER Network is supported by three fundamental components:

1. 4EVER Protocol: This is the heart of the resource management system, ensuring stability and reliability by coordinating between various resource providers.

2. 4EVER DePIN Aggregator: An advanced layer connecting with existing decentralized networks (e.g., IPFS for storage or Akash for computing) to offer high-availability cloud services.

3. 4EVER Node: A key innovation that enables community members to share their idle resources — be it storage, computing power, or network bandwidth — thereby enriching the network’s capacity and enhancing performance.

By combining cutting-edge technologies from multiple platforms, 4EVER Network transforms available idle resources into shared, secure, and highly efficient infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 platforms.

Why Was 4EVER Network Created?

To understand the need for 4EVER Network, it’s important to examine the current state of cloud computing. While centralized cloud providers (like AWS and Microsoft Azure) have long dominated the market, this model has several limitations:

1. Single Points of Failure and Privacy Concerns: Relying on a small group of large companies makes users vulnerable to disruptions and raises significant privacy concerns, especially with increasing data monopolization.

2. High Costs: For small businesses and developers, the financial burden of using centralized platforms is often prohibitive, limiting innovation.

3. Underutilization of Resources: Many current data centers and computing hubs are inefficient, leaving substantial resources idle and contributing to unnecessary energy consumption.

In contrast, decentralized cloud services promise enhanced security, privacy, and flexibility. However, despite their potential, these solutions face significant adoption barriers due to the complexity of integrating them into existing networks and the fragmentation of decentralized protocols.

In a world witnessing the explosive growth of decentralized financial solutions, Linear Finance stands out as a pioneering force in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This case study explores how Linear Finance leverages 4EVERLAND Hosting to decentralize their website and decentralized applications (dApps) on BNB Greenfield. This strategic integration significantly enhances the scalability, security, and performance of Linear Finance’s platform.

What is Linear Finance?

Linear Finance is a cross-chain compatible, decentralized synthetic asset protocol that bridges real-world assets with blockchain technology. It allows users to trade synthetic assets, known as “Liquids,” which mirror traditional financial assets like commodities, cryptocurrencies, and market indexes. As one of the first Ethereum-based DeFi projects with cross-chain compatibility, Linear Finance offers solutions free from the constraints of the traditional financial system.

The LINA Ecosystem

Linear Finance’s ecosystem is powered by its utility token, LINA, which serves as the foundational collateral for its synthetic assets. LINA also functions as the governance token, enabling holders to vote on proposals related to collateral ratios, fee structures, and asset listings, among other critical parameters.

Key Components and Operation Modes

Linear Builder

The Linear Builder dApp allows users to manage collateral pools and create Liquids using LINA tokens. Over time, collateral options will expand to include other digital assets, stabilizing the LINA token economy by imposing a threshold on non-LINA collateral. Users must over-pledge collateral at an initial ratio of 350% to ensure long-term growth and stability, with potential for optimization through community-driven adjustments via the LinearDAO. LINA staking enables the creation of lUSD, Linear’s stablecoin, which can be used within the ecosystem.

Linear Bridge

The Linear Bridge functionality facilitates the composability of LINA tokens and synthetic assets across different blockchains, ensuring seamless cross-chain interactions.

Linear Exchange

The Linear Exchange dApp aims to expedite financial processes, enabling near-instantaneous settlement of synthetic assets like S&P 500 and Bitcoin, which traditionally would take days. By leveraging blockchain technology, Linear Exchange offers limitless liquidity and zero slippage, enhancing user experience significantly. Unlike traditional exchanges, Linear Exchange operates without order books, relying instead on smart contracts backed by a debt pool. This approach reduces costs and mitigates the risk of frontrunning through rapid price feed updates from oracles.

Linear Liquidator

Liquids, or synthetic assets, are the major innovation Linear brings to the crypto sector. With a combination of expertise from both crypto and traditional finance, the Linear Finance team provides its users with somewhere to easily gain investment exposure to a range of digital and traditional financial products.

Linear is one of the first DeFi projects built on Ethereum to be cross-chain compatible. Although the protocol takes advantage of Ethereum’s infrastructure, it uses other blockchains for the creation and swapping of Liquids, which means lower transaction costs and higher throughput than most exchanges hosted on Ethereum.

With near-instant settlement, Linear Exchange provides an ideal environment for traders using algorithmic software and making high-frequency trades. Meanwhile, the use of a price oracle alleviates the problem of frontrunning faced by many similar projects.

Linear DAO

To uphold its commitment to complete decentralization and democratization, Linear Finance has launched a DAO, allowing community members to propose and vote on changes. This decentralized governance framework ensures that Linear Finance evolves in a manner aligned with community interests.

Here’s a general overview of how the Linear DAO will work and how $LINA holders can submit a proposition and help us shape the future of Linear Finance:

The SDKs support one-click integration, making the transition smooth and reducing the development overhead. The high-performance upload capabilities are critical for platforms like Tape that deal with large volumes of data.

Additionally, the multipart upload feature ensures that even very large files can be uploaded reliably. This is particularly beneficial for social media platforms where high-resolution images and videos are commonplace. The S3 API integration ensures that users have a seamless experience when uploading content, which is essential for user satisfaction and platform efficiency.

Enhanced Security with STS (Security Token Service)

4EVERLAND provides Security Token Service (STS) API that enables users to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for users. Security is a paramount concern for Tape, and 4EVERLAND’s S3 Security Token Service (STS) plays a crucial role in ensuring it. By leveraging STS, Tape can issue temporary tokens to users, allowing them to upload files directly to IPFS from the front end. This eliminates the need for server-side intermediaries, thereby removing potential bottlenecks and points of failure. This direct upload method not only improves upload speeds but also enhances security measures.

By reducing the amount of sensitive data that flows through the server, Tape minimizes the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. The temporary tokens provided by STS ensure that each transaction is secure and limited in scope and duration, adding an extra layer of protection for user data.

Global Decentralization Nodes

One of the standout features of 4EVERLAND is its globally distributed IPFS nodes, which offer a decentralized approach to data storage. For Tape, this means that each file uploaded to the platform is pinned across multiple IPFS nodes worldwide. This distribution ensures that data is not only stored in a single location, making it more difficult for data to be lost or compromised. This decentralized storage model is particularly advantageous for platforms like Tape, as it enhances the availability and reliability of user data. Even if one node goes offline, the data remains accessible via other nodes. This redundancy significantly improves the chances of successful data retrieval and enhances the overall reliability of the platform. Furthermore, the use of globally dispersed nodes strengthens data security by making it harder for malicious actors to target and compromise stored files.

The 4EVERLAND Dedicated IPFS Gateway

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer protocol for storing and accessing files and websites, fundamentally different from the HTTP protocol. An IPFS gateway acts as an access point, converting traditional HTTP requests into IPFS requests to ensure seamless access to decentralized content.

4EVERLAND’s dedicated IPFS gateway is engineered for high performance, optimizing response times through CID request comparisons among multiple IPFS storage nodes and utilizing edge caching to reduce latency further. This offers Tape users minimal wait times and efficient content access, significantly enhancing user satisfaction.

Case Outcome

The collaboration between Tape and 4EVERLAND illustrates the profound impact that decentralized storage solutions can have on the content-sharing landscape. By setting a new standard for privacy and ownership, Tape empowers creators to share their videos without the constraints often found on traditional platforms. Users enjoy a reliable, engaging, and decentralized environment, fostering a stronger community of content creators and consumers.

Tape, powered by the Lens Protocol and supported by 4EVERLAND’s decentralized infrastructure, represents a significant step forward in the evolution of video sharing. As the decentralized web continues to grow, this partnership showcases how innovative technologies can transform user experiences while upholding principles of user autonomy and data integrity. The synergy between Tape and 4EVERLAND not only enhances their respective offerings but also paves the way for future advancements in decentralized content sharing.

Ethereum’s well-known scalability issues stem from its inability to increase network capacity while maintaining focus on its core principle of decentralization and security. Enter Layer 2 solutions: protocols built on top of existing blockchains that handle transactions off-chain to enhance scalability and efficiency while maintaining security.

This article unpacks Taiko, a Layer 2 scaling solution that stands out for its full compatibility with Ethereum. Learn how this cutting-edge zero-knowledge rollup makes Ethereum’s blockchain more efficient and user-friendly for DApp developers and users, ensuring its dominance as a global settlement network. and how 4EVERLAND empowers the Taiko ecosystem.

Taiko: An Ethereum-Equivalent ZK-Rollup Solution

Taiko is a fully open-source, Ethereum-equivalent ZK-rollup scaling solution designed for decentralized, secure and permissionless operations. Taiko aims to solve the foundational challenges of scalability and high transaction costs on the Ethereum network by leveraging multi-proof technology.

What does Taiko Aim to Achieve?

Taiko’s goal is to significantly boost transaction throughput while reducing fees, all without compromising Ethereum’s essential principles of security and decentralization. This solution is particularly important given the congestion and high gas fees resulting from the popularity of applications and tokens on Ethereum’s network. Taiko’s aim is to enable a more efficient and seamless experience for DApp developers and users, ensuring that Ethereum’s potential as a global settlement network is fully realized.

How does Taiko Work?

Taiko aggregates numerous Ethereum transactions and compiles them into a single batch. It then generates a proof using a trusted execution environment (TEE) like SGX for this batch of transactions. This proof is a cryptographic method that allows one party to prove to another that a statement is true without disclosing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself.

The bulk of computational work, including the execution of smart contracts and transaction verification, is performed off-chain. This system means Taiko’s infrastructure, not the Ethereum Mainnet, exclusively handles the actual computation and state storage. The ZK-proof is then submitted to the Ethereum blockchain, where it’s verified. This step ensures that the batched transactions are valid and follow Ethereum’s rules. Once the proof is accepted, the transactions are considered final. Taiko adopts Ethereum’s security model, as the ZK-proof verification process is anchored to Ethereum’s decentralized consensus mechanism.

Taiko significantly increases the number of transactions that can be processed per second on the Ethereum network by processing transactions off-chain and only storing proofs on-chain. This method dramatically reduces transaction fees, commonly known as gas fees, since the computational load is shifted off-chain. Taiko is designed to be fully compatible with Ethereum, meaning developers can deploy their existing DApps on Taiko without any modifications. This compatibility extends to both Ethereum’s tooling and its smart contract languages.

Despite off-chain computation, Taiko maintains Ethereum’s decentralization and security guarantees. It doesn’t introduce additional trust assumptions, and leverages Ethereum’s validator network for sequencing transactions.

Specifically, Taiko is divided into three main modules: Multi-Prover, Layer 2 Rollup, and the Taiko Protocol.

• Multi-Prover: This module utilizes various zkVMs such as Risc0 and Succinct and integrated proof systems such as SGX to directly compile and execute a Rust-based Ethereum Virtual Machine. It generates zero-knowledge proofs or TEE proofs to validate the accuracy and integrity of Ethereum block execution.

• Layer 2 Rollup Nodes: These nodes are responsible for managing and executing transactions on Layer 2 while interacting with Ethereum Layer 1. By leveraging Layer 2 Rollup technology, Taiko enhances Ethereum’s transaction throughput, reduces transaction costs, and maintains decentralization and security.

• Taiko Protocol: This defines and enforces the rules of Layer 2 Rollup to ensure both transaction correctness and network security. Through smart contracts and decentralized validation, the Taiko Protocol achieves an efficient scaling solution for Ethereum while preserving its decentralization and security characteristics.

Overall, the key innovation of the Taiko protocol is the BCR framework (Based Contestable Rollup), which is built upon Multi-proofs (multi-prover interactive proofs). The core concept of the BCR framework is “competition”: anyone can become a proposer, submit block proposals, and any validator who disagrees with the state transition results can submit a challenge proof at a security level to alter the L2 block state, thereby making a choice between correct and incorrect forks.

Proposers are required to bundle user transactions with multiple proposers able to simultaneously compete in submitting blocks. Validators are responsible for verifying the blocks and zero-knowledge proofs submitted by proposers, with multiple validators also competing to validate the blocks. This process not only ensures the decentralization of the generation and submission of each block but also further enhances the security of the network.
