What Can You Build with Shelby?

Shelby provides verifiable global object storage designed for modern applications. Developers can store, distribute, and verify data using cryptographic proofs.

Here are a few things you can build with Shelby:

AI Applications

Build AI tools that rely on verifiable datasets and content. With Shelby, applications can read data with cryptographic proof that it has not been altered.

Possible examples:

  • AI agents that fetch trusted data

  • Verifiable training datasets

  • GenAI content distribution platforms

Decentralized Applications

Shelby can be used as a data storage layer for Web3 applications.

Examples:

  • Storing NFT metadata

  • Hosting application assets

  • Managing off-chain data with verifiable integrity

Media & Content Platforms

Develop platforms that distribute images, videos, and other media files while ensuring the content remains unchanged and verifiable.

Examples:

  • creator platforms

  • content delivery systems

  • AI-generated media libraries

Developer Tools & Infrastructure

Shelby can also power developer infrastructure, enabling new types of applications that depend on trusted data access.

Examples:

  • AI agent tooling

  • verifiable APIs

  • data pipelines
