Introduction

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, Web3 innovations are continuously reshaping online experiences. A primary goal for many projects in the Web3 space is to guide and attract Web2 users to engage with and experience the conveniences and advancements of Web3. This underscores the critical importance of building bridges between Web2 and Web3 ecosystems.

4EVERLAND and SPACE ID are aligned in this mission. 4EVERLAND provides comprehensive cloud computing services for a broad spectrum of Web2 developers and users, while SPACE ID offers users a universal identifier for Web3 identity. This article delves into 4EVERLAND and its collaboration with SPACE ID and bnb.me, a user-friendly platform facilitating seamless generation and hosting of decentralized websites using .bnb domains. Our aim is to provide an insightful overview of this innovative collaboration, exploring its features and impact.

SPACE ID: Pioneering Web3 Identity Solutions

The Necessity of Identity in Web3:

For Web3 to flourish as an emerging field and attract new users, it must facilitate identity interactions. This allows users to be identified, interact with each other, and display their online personas. Fundamentally, we prefer interacting with people rather than addresses. To achieve this, universal identifiers like SPACE ID, which work across chains, become crucial.

What is SPACE ID?

SPACE ID is constructing a universal name service network, encompassing a one-stop identity platform for discovering, registering, trading, and managing Web3 domains. It includes a Web3 Name SDK and API for cross-blockchain developers and provides multi-chain name services for everyone to easily build and create Web3 identities.

Key Features of space.id:

1. Discovery: A central hub for searching all supported top-level domains and discovering popular domain collections.

2. Registration: Users can register all Web3 domains on the SPACE ID mainnet, supporting domains like .bnb and .eth.

3. Trading: A marketplace designed for trading Web3 domains, aggregating liquidity from other markets like OpenSea.

4. Management: An integrated portal for managing all aspects of Web3 domains including renewals, records, and ownership.

Core Characteristics of SPACE ID:

1. Decentralization: True to Web3 principles, SPACE ID offers censorship-resistant domains not controlled by any single centralized entity.

2. Security: Robust cryptographic techniques ensure the security of user data and domain registrations.

3. Interoperability: Registered domains seamlessly integrate with various blockchain networks and decentralized applications (dApps).

SPACE ID’s Vision: Universal Name Service

SPACE ID’s vision of a universal name service network has been the driving force behind its development. They believe in Web3’s essence as a crucial link between decentralized identity and both physical and digital worlds. The key lies in finding effective solutions to the challenges faced by current domain name services.

While the current version of SPACE ID marks significant progress towards this vision and lays a solid foundation for the future of Web3 identity, fully realizing this goal still faces numerous challenges. With each new advancement, SPACE ID is moving closer to becoming a comprehensive universal digital identity solution.

What is bnb.me?

bnb.me is a gateway for resolving SPACE ID .bnb Domain Name Service records. It aims to work as a decentralized way of bridging your Web3 domains to Web2 that can be accessed from any web browsers with ease for all .bnb holders. Additionally, it comes with an easy-to-use website builder to help users get started quickly.

Developed independently by Steven, a core contributor of the SPACE ID community, bnb.me was first launched in October 2022. After several rounds of updates and iterations, in August 2024, 4EVERLAND and SPACE ID jointly released a significant update for bnb.me, fully utilizing the web hosting services provided by 4EVERLAND and integrating BNB GreenField. This marks a milestone in the deeper exploration of collaboration based on the BNB Chain between SPACE ID and 4EVERLAND.

How does bnb.me work?

bnb.me operates as a reverse proxy for .bnb names and IPFS/Greenfield content,and uses a wildcard DNS record *.bnb.me to capture the name of the .bnb domain. That means: when you visit spaceid.bnb.me, bnb.me will lookup the IPFS CID of domain spaceid.bnb from the resolver, and fetch the contents from the IPFS network then respond to your browser.

This collaboration leverages the strengths of both parties, offering a simple-to-use website builder enables you to launch your first decentralized website in under a minute.:

1. Own a .bnb Domain Users must first ensure they own a .bnb domain through SPACE ID, which serves as the foundational identity for their decentralized website.

2. Create: Select a Template and Build Your Personal Page After logging into bnb.me, users can select from a variety of templates provided on the platform to create their personal page.

3. Deploy: Host the side Once the website design is finalized, bnb.me will deploy the site using 4EVER’s hosting services. This step involves hosting the website in a decentralized manner via network protocols such as IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and BNB Greenfield, ensuring enhanced security, redundancy, and reliability.

4. Access: Load the Website through the bnb.me Gateway Finally, users can access their newly created decentralized websites through the bnb.me gateway. This involves bnb.me acting as a reverse proxy to the IPFS/Greenfield network managed by 4EVERLAND, enabling users to access the site using Web2-compatible URLs (e.g., spaceid.bnb.me) seamlessly.

Impact and Benefits

1. Enhanced Accessibility and Adoption: The collaboration between bnb.me, 4EVERLAND and SPACE ID significantly lowers the barrier to entry for individuals and businesses into the decentralized web. By providing a simple and intuitive platform, users from both Web2 and Web3 communities can effortlessly create and access decentralized websites.

2. Strengthened Decentralization: By hosting websites using decentralized storage solutions like IPFS and BNB Greenfield, the collaboration reinforces decentralization principles, ensuring data integrity and resistance to censorship. This approach aligns with the overall goals of the Web3 movement to foster a more open and equitable internet.

3. Bridging Web2 and Web3: The ability to access decentralized websites through Web2-compatible URLs bridges the gap between the two paradigms. bnb.me not only enhances the usability and reach of .bnb domains but also paves the way for broader adoption of decentralized technologies across various sectors.

4. Fostering Innovation: This collaboration sets a precedent for future partnerships in the Web3 space, potentially inspiring more innovative solutions that combine different aspects of decentralized technologies.

Conclusion

The collaboration between bnb.me, 4EVERLAND and SPACE ID marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a more decentralized internet. By simplifying the process of creating and hosting decentralized websites using .bnb domains, this partnership unlocks new potential and opportunities for users in both Web2 and Web3 realms.

As we move forward, such collaborations will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the internet, making decentralized technologies more accessible and user-friendly.
