Shelby serves is a new decentralized hot storage DeFi service built in collaboration between Aptos Labs and Jump Trading, representing a new bread that stands in stark contrast with cold storage networks such as Arweave or Filecoin.
The system is designed for fast and frequent access to data and is ideal for kinds of Web3 applications that require subsecond reads, like streaming, AI pipelines, and onchain gaming.
Shelby achieves Web2 speed using DoubleZero fiber network under a decentralized bandwidth coordination and model.
Aptos is used as the strong cordination and settlemenst layer, enforcing verifiable storage commitments and micropayments to create trust and accountability.
Most importantly, Shelby is chain agnostic, allowing for frictionless integration of DApps on any blockchain.
The evolutionary economic model pays for real data usage, nurturing a healthier ecosystem. Shelby is going to enable another world data economy, breaking the monopoly of tech platforms by enabling real-time data streaming, pricing, and monetization.
