4EVERLAND
4EVERLAND is a Web3 infrastructure platform — storage, static hosting, and node access — whose storage arm includes 4EVER Pin, an IPFS pinning service that implements the vendor-agnostic Pinning Service API.
Standard API, bulk-oriented tooling#
The endpoint takes a bearer token generated on the 4EVER Pin page, and Kubo talks to it with no adapter:

The tooling around it leans toward bulk work that the specification does not describe: importing many content identifiers (CIDs) at once, uploading whole folders, and parsing content addressable archive (CAR) files rather than requiring individual objects. Bringing an existing pinset in from somewhere else is the operation that is usually painful and is specifically catered for here.
Where it fits#
The arrangement that survives a shutdown calls for two unrelated providers both speaking the standard API, and 4EVER Pin qualifies with an ingest path for whole pinsets rather than individual objects — the same role Filebase fills from the other direction.
Two things count against it. The pinning service is one component of a platform whose other products — bucket storage fronting Arweave and Filecoin, static hosting, gateway endpoints — carry their own bespoke interfaces, so only 4EVER Pin itself is portable and it is easy to end up depending on the rest. And like every entry here that is not the company’s whole business, the pinning service is a product line rather than the reason the company exists.
