- Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto have launched a cloud-based storage platform for Web3 applications called Shelby.
- Shelby is compatible with major blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana, and aims to match speeds of established cloud providers.
- The service is designed for use cases like video streaming, Artificial Intelligence, and decentralized infrastructure (Depin).
- Shelby enters a marketplace led by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
- Increased global data and AI demands are driving the need for scalable storage solutions like Shelby.
Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto introduced Shelby, a new cloud-based storage network for decentralized and Web3 applications, on Tuesday. Shelby is a globally distributed platform designed to offer fast speeds and remote accessibility for demanding applications.
Shelby runs on Aptos technology and is “chain-agnostic,” which means it works with different major blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. According to Pranav Raval, the engineering lead at Aptos, Shelby delivers performance levels similar to top cloud platforms while allowing developers to “retain ownership, control pricing and program business logic at the protocol level.”
Shelby is built for developers who require fast and secure storage for tasks such as video streaming, AI workloads, and decentralized infrastructure projects. Data volume is increasing globally, especially as AI grows, creating more demand for storage and energy. Recent analysis from the International Energy Agency and S&P Global shows global data center energy use could double by 2030 due to AI growth.
Raval stated, “For AI, that means AI agents aren’t just smart, they’re connected to live, contextual data anytime, anywhere. AI data marketplaces hosted on Shelby empower builders to train models faster, using relevant data streamed in as needed.”
Shelby is launching in a highly competitive space dominated by large providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Aptos Labs created the Aptos blockchain, which focuses on scalability and high performance, while Jump Crypto, a division of Jump Trading Group, is active in blockchain and digital asset projects.
Shelby aims to meet growing needs from Web3 developers by supporting fast, secure, and flexible storage solutions for emerging digital industries.
