According to official sources, PANews reports on June 25th that Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto have officially launched Shelby, a high-performance, decentralized hot storage network specifically designed for Web3 real-time applications, suitable for scenarios such as streaming media, AI data, social platforms, and DePIN. The network leverages global high-performance nodes, fiber backbone, and on-chain programmable architecture, with read and write speeds and reliability comparable to cloud services, breaking through the limitations of traditional Web2 services and featuring sub-second response times and pay-as-you-go billing. Currently, projects like Story Protocol and Metaplex will be the first to access the network to validate its cross-chain real-time infrastructure potential. The Shelby developer testnet is expected to go online in the fourth quarter of 2025, which will support multiple chain ecosystems including Aptos, Ethereum, and Solana.
