Web3 is evolving fast but the infrastructure hasn’t caught up. The problem isn’t storing data, it’s accessing it quickly, securely, and at scale.
Slow reads break apps, AI pipelines, and creator monetization. That’s where Shelby comes in.
Built by Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto, Shelby is Web3’s first decentralized, cloud-grade hot storage protocol. It’s designed for speed, value, and real-time access — not cold, static storage.
What Shelby Enables:
- Sub-second reads, like a CDN
- Pay-per-view content & token-gated access
- Real-time AI and dynamic NFTs with royalties
- Monetization every time data is accessed
Why It’s Different:
- High-speed performance powered by a dedicated fiber network
- Read incentives that reward nodes — and creators
- Built-in privacy & control with encryption and access gating
- Chain-agnostic: Works across Solana, Ethereum L2s, Aptos & more
- Cost-competitive with Web2 clouds
Shelby is for builders who need Web2 speed without giving up Web3 values. No more trade-offs. Just fast, sovereign, and monetizable infrastructure.
Teams like Metaplex, Story Protocol, and DoubleZero are already exploring what Shelby can unlock.
If you’re building anything that streams, scales, or reacts in real time — Shelby is your edge.
