# Pricing Model

4EVERLAND offers two free basic packages, Trial and Standard, to allow users to quickly experience all services on the platform. When resource consumption exceeds the limits of the free packages, charges are based on the actual excess resource consumption.

All resources are priced in LAND, with the price of LAND anchored to the US dollar at a rate of 1 USD = 1,000,000 LAND.&#x20;

For more information about LAND, please refer to:

## Billing Explanation

### IPFS Storage

IPFS adopts a space-time pricing method, and the specific calculation formula is as follows: `ipfs_fee = X * unit_price * Time`

* `X` is the IPFS storage occupation size, in Bytes
* `unit_price` is the minimum billing unit, currently valued at: 0.000000000029 LAND/Byte/s
* `Time` is the space occupation time, in seconds\
  The following is an example of the cost of storing a 1GB file for 1 day: 0.000000000029 \* 1024\*1024 \* 1024 \* 60 \* 60 \*24 = 2690.3675 LAND

The following is an example calculation of the cost required for storing a 1GB file for 1 day: 0.000000000029 \* 1024\*1024 \* 1024 \* 60 \* 60 \*24 = 2690.3675 LAND

### Arweave Storage

The Arweave storage cost is dynamic and depends on several parameters, the specific calculation formula is as follows: `arweave_fee = X * arweave_cost *global_multiplier`

* `X` is the Arweave storage occupation size, in Bytes.
* `arweave_cost` is the price for storing 1GB of Arweave storage converted into a unit price for 1 Byte (`arweave_cost` ignores the minimum block size impact of Arweave tiered pricing). For example, if `arweave_cost` (1GB) = $10 = 10,000,000 LAND, then `arweave_cost` = 0.9313 LAND. `arweave_cost`(1GB) is determined by the Arweave Network, specific real-time information is available at [Arweave fees](https://arfees.4everland.site/)​.
* `global_multiplier` is the transaction multiplier considering financial management costs and asset volatility, currently set at 1.

### Build Time

Build Time billing is as follows: `buildtime_fee = unit_price * Time`

* `unit_price` is the minimum billing unit, currently valued at 0.5 LAND/ms.
* `Time` is the actual construction duration consumed, in milliseconds (ms).

### Bandwidth

Bandwidth billing is as follows: `bandwidth_fee = unit_price * consume_bandwidth`

* `unit_price` is the minimum billing unit, currently valued at 0.0001 LAND/Byte.
* `consume_bandwidth` is the actual consumed traffic, in Bytes.

### RPC

RPC billing is as follows: `rpc_fee = unit_price * consume_cu`

* `unit_price` is the minimum billing unit, currently valued at 0.2 LAND/CU.
* `consume_cu` is the actual number of CUs consumed.
* For the number of CUs consumed by each request, please refer to the documentation at:
