Jump Crypto teams up with Aptos Labs to co-develop the decentralized storage protocol Shelby, unveiled at Aptos Experience 2025

BlockBeats News, October 17th, according to official sources, at the Aptos ecosystem event Atlas Experience 2025, Jump Crypto and the Aptos Labs engineering team jointly announced that their jointly developed, the world's first high-performance decentralized hot storage protocol aimed at production-level applications, Shelby, has officially launched on DevNet. The Aptos network plays a "coordinating layer" role, and Shelby's smart contracts are deployed on Aptos to manage the system's economic logic. The protocol breaks through the bottleneck of traditional decentralized storage and has the following core advantages:

· Performance comparable to Web2 cloud services: Through an architecture designed specifically for hot storage, it achieves millisecond-level data retrieval to meet the needs of read-intensive applications such as streaming media and AI training;

· Costs lower than centralized cloud storage: An innovative economic model shows that cost parity with traditional cloud services like AWS can be achieved with just a single data read operation;

· Integration with a comprehensive developer toolkit: Simultaneous release of API, SDK, CLI, and file manager supporting advanced features such as data encryption, token gating, and paywall unlocking;

· Groundbreaking underlying network: Leveraging the Double Zero dedicated fiber optic network built by Jump to address public Internet latency and jitter issues, providing underlying support for high-performance storage.

Currently, Shelby has launched a developer incentive program and has engaged in early-stage collaboration with over 50 institutions, covering media, entertainment, AI, and other fields.
