Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto have jointly launched Shelby, a new chain-agnostic, decentralized cloud storage network designed specifically for Web3, AI, and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) applications.

Shelby is compatible with Ethereum, Solana, and Aptos, designed to provide sub-second reads, millisecond settlement, and cloud-level reliability.

The network enables monetizable storage for data-rich applications and supports features like pay-as-you-go billing, token gating, smart contract permission control, and dynamic pricing.

It is entering a highly competitive cloud storage market dominated by AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. 

“Storage is broken. Big Tech controls data. Web3 can’t rely on Web2 infra. It ends now,” said Aptos Labs on X.
