Music Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to go to the next video. Music Thank you. Thank you. Hello everyone and welcome to today's Twitter space brought to you by Maxi.
I'm Jazz, your host from the Maxi team, and I'm thrilled to have you with us as we dive
into one of the most exciting developments in the Web3 infrastructure space, Shelby.
The newly launched decentralized real-time storage layer
co-developed by Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto.
With us today, we are incredibly honored to welcome
Avery, the co-founder and Sherry, a founding engineer at Aptos.
Hi, Avery. Would you like to briefly introduce yourself first?
Sure. It's a pleasure to be here with everyone to talk about Shelby.
My background is I worked at Meta for 10 years prior to co-founding Aptos Labs alongside folks like Sherry.
And I've been working in data infrastructure for the first seven years at Facebook,
where I spent a lot of time on things like Shelby,
supporting processing more than 1.5 exabytes of data per day
across hundreds of thousands of machines.
So it's really also my background is
I have a PhD in computer science, supercomputing,
where I worked on high performance file systems
for supercomputers in the past.
So very, very excited to chat about Shelby today.
Thank you, Avery.
And hi, Sherry. Could you please tell us about Europe?
Of course. GM, good night, and everyone. Very excited to be here and talk about Shelby
along with you guys. I'm Sherry. I'm one of the funding engineers at Aptos Labs. Previously, I was also at Facebook and then Instagram working on the infrastructures
and a lot of the distributed system, the database as well at Instagram,
scaling the web server and then joined the Facebook's blockchain project,
which is previously known as Libra or DM.
And then later joined Aptos Labs to work on also the infrastructure,
the validator infrastructures and supporting node operators
and decentralization of our network.
Very excited to have Shelby recently announced and then
like kind of like exist to the world.
So it's excited to talk about Shelby today with you guys.
Thank you, Sherry.
That's a really strong background.
And we also have Winnie here with us.
She's the Spot Operations Lead at Maxi.
Hi Winnie.
Hi everyone, Dream Jam.
This is Winnie, me again.
Super excited to join today's session.
Thanks for having me. Thank you, Winnie. So over. Super excited to join today's session. Thanks for having me.
Thank you, Winnie.
So over the next 30 minutes or so,
we'll explore how Shelby is redefining on-chain data and how it fits into Apto's long-term roadmap
and what it means for developers, users, and builders
across the Web3 space.
We also share how Maxi is supporting this growth,
including a limited-time APT staking campaign
with APS up to 400%.
So don't miss that part.
And let's get started.
So let's go with the basics.
What exactly is Shelby?
And what problems it is aiming to solve
in today's Web3 infrastructure.
Passing this question to Sherry.
Sure. I think Avery can probably add later, but Shelby exists to provide a real-time infrastructure for the world.
And we're really aiming to provide the decentralized AWS for the space.
If you think about all the storage protocol that existing in the space,
most of them just focus on archival type of storage,
which would incentivize you to keep your data there and
hoping you don't really need it very often.
It's strongly trying to guarantee or provide a backup version of
the data
that exists in the world and decentralized across all those nodes that are keeping a copy safe.
However, none of those protocols are existing to build infrastructure,
to build the products have large data bandwidth needs.
If you need to read a lot of data in a real time,
like a streaming or gaming,
or if you think about like any of
those content access type of application,
none of those existing file storage protocols can
really satisfy this kind of requirement.
So Shelby is really here is to filling this gap gap and then thinking about incentivize the read access of the data,
and then really trying to shake the whole business models of the traditional Web2 data providing service like AWS of S3 service, for example. And then you can think about like a lot of applications
and product possibilities can be unlocked by Shelby,
like pay to view or pay to see per videos.
And then you can incentivize a lot of TikTok type
of applications to be built
in a decentralized infrastructure
where content creators are really incentivized to build
highly, you know, like a popular kind of a content that be streamed by a lot of people.
So that's really what's the goal for Shelby to serve this world. But please, Avery, jump in here
and add anything else on top of your mind.
I think you nailed it, Sherry.
Like the big, you know, if you look around their space in decentralized infrastructure,
why haven't we seen a decentralized YouTube or decentralized TikTok or decentralized Facebook pop up?
And I think, you know, you hit on the earlier point that there's just,
there's a bunch of storage systems that just kind of store archival data for a long period of time,
but there's no way they can support use cases
of if you want to build any of these products
and have a great user experience behind them.
And that's where Shelby comes in
and fills the need of hot decentralized real-time storage
that has never been filled before in the past.
So I think we're just really excited to see that this is the key to enabling a lot of
innovation in the web3 space. And an earlier point that Sherry made was creators. Creators have
a lack of control in today's systems and environments. They have to create their
content across multiple platforms. Those platforms may change their revenue share policies over time.
They may restrict those participants from even participating in their platform.
They may just change the algorithms behind the scenes without their knowledge and
their ability. So to enable the creators to really have a better
control over their content being stored, being served, being accessed and
control over their content being stored, being served, being accessed and negotiate those
revenues and rev share alongside platforms. It's really important that a product like
Shelby come to market and serve this unique gap.
Yeah, thanks for breaking that down. It's really helpful to start with the fundamentals.
So let's talk a bit about the collaboration side. So Shelby
is co-developed by Jump Crypto. And what did each team bring to the table and why is this
partnership significant for the future of decentralized infrastructure?
Well, I can take this one first. So going back a little bit into this history, we met
the Jump team in January in their office,
just kind of their investors in Aptos,
and we kind of started to walk through some of the things we're excited about.
One of the things we did talk about was kind of need for decentralized cloud
storage and compute over time that we felt would enable a lot of different
kinds of decentralized use cases that we just referred over.
It turns out that Jump had been thinking about the same things.
And so over the last six months, we've been figuring out how to design the most effective
and efficient system and storage for building this out.
And it also so happens that a lot of their backgrounds kind of match ours.
Two of their teammates also worked at a lot of Los Alamos, as well as I did.
And so I think there's a lot of commonalities on how we think about high performance system design, super computing, and also building things that are going to scale to immense needs.
And also the Jumps background is in building some of the most high performance trading systems out there.
systems out there. They're one of the biggest traders in the Web3 space. And so, you know,
They're one of the biggest traders in the Web3 space.
I think our background is kind of building a lot of data infrastructure within Facebook and Meta.
And so I think just coming these two new teams with very similar, yet bringing different kind
of backgrounds into the table and understanding how we could combine forces and develop something
that's a new product in the space.
We became very excited about this.
So now, you know, each has different aspects you bring to the table.
They're working mainly on the storage infrastructure side.
Of course, we're collaborating with them on that.
And we're developing a lot of the smart contracts infrastructure.
How do we provide support for a massive decentralized system like this to be implemented on top of
a real-time blockchain?
You know, AppTus is the only blockchain that kind of support this kind of infrastructure a massive decentralized system like this to be implemented on top of a real-time blockchain.
You know, AppTus is the only blockchain that kind of support this kind of infrastructure at scale and allow it to be decentralized.
And I think between our two teams, we've got an incredible amount of talent to make this vision come to life.
Yeah, that gives us a great look at how the pieces came together.
Let's now shift to what does order enables. One of the most exciting aspects of Shelby
is how it turns stored data into dynamic and streamable value.
So what are some early use cases
you are particularly excited about?
I would say really like I would love to see Instagram
and TikTok building a decentralized way.
And in a way even you know like a Blizzard kind of a game, like streaming type of like a lot of massive kind of in-game
contents or in-game items that are being built on decentralized storage that can be very like you know
in a very quick access ways and then in the large bandwidth.
So this type of application is obviously
very straightforward to us to think about.
Today, if you're trying to build this kind of application,
you have to really depend on AWS or GCP to store
the status and stream this kind of data.
Mostly commonly known as CDNs or a content distribution type of application.
But I think with Shelby being in the place,
you can imagine Shelby being competing to CDNs and then people directly streaming content from those infrastructures with incentive model and then with active
participants and then also in the decentralized way so that creator have like their own control.
It's the most exciting things. I think it's also the first time that you really think about decentralized ways to compete that we bring the same level of replication factor, which means that we can be as efficient as the Web2 space.
But we create an economic model where incentivize people to create high quality content and then encourage and incentivize people to read this type of high valuable data.
So you don't just incentivize people to create a whole bunch of junk data that they put there
and never need to access it. But you kind of like incentive, almost you can think of like,
if you're the hottest TikTok bloggers or content creator, you make most of money, right? That makes most sense.
It doesn't matter if you make like millions of video,
but if one of your video have most views and most access,
you should be the like, you know, like the content should be the most valuable.
So I think like personally,
this would be the most straightforward use cases to see from the beginning.
Yeah, thank you, Sherry.
That's super interesting.
So we are not just talking about storage anymore,
but unlocking social and content-driven use cases,
similar to how platforms like Instagram and TikTok stream content in real life.
It shows shell-based potential to power web stream native creator economies
where on-chain data became dynamic and monetizable and interactive.
Super cool.
And I'd like to bring Winnie here as well.
And hi Winnie, you've been closely observing trends across different ecosystems.
So from your point of view, what makes the Aptos and Shelby launch particularly exciting or different compared to other L1 projects or infrastructure plays we've ever seen?
Sure, yeah, that's a great question.
And honestly, I've been thinking about this quite a bit.
What really says Shelby about it is that it's solving a real infrastructure problem in Web3.
It's not just about decentralizing things for the sake of something cool.
You know, while a lot of layer ones are focused on speed and scalability, which are definitely important.
And Shelby is tackling something deeper, how data is stored, accessed, and actually monetized in real time.
That opens up a tougher possibilities,
not just for devs, but also for creators,
AI tools, gaming projects, even depending use case.
So to me, Shelby isn't just another infralayer.
It shows that AppTools is thinking long-term and
really building out the full stack of real-world Web3 use.
Yeah, thank you, Winnie.
I love the point about not decentralizing just for the sake of it.
Shelby really feels like it's tackling a deeper structural challenge in Web3. And like you said, it's not just about performance,
benchmarks, but rethinking how data can actually
become useful, monetizable, and compulsive.
Where whether it is AI, creator, or even Dupin,
is excited to think about all the verticals
they could unlock.
Now let's dive a bit deeper into the broader ecosystem
side of things.
And I wonder what roles do partners like Jump Crypto, Metaplex, and Starry Protocol play in Shelby's development and long-term vision?
Well, I can dig this one. When we started to have conversations with different potential partners around Shelby, it became pretty clear that they had seen a big need for this as well.
And so we were very fortunate to see more than 13, 14 teams, even just the early ones, kind of immediately raising their hands and saying, we really want to join the Shelby kind of development from the very early days,
including Story Protocol, Metaplex, and others, as you mentioned.
It kind of comes down to each of the use cases. They're all different, right?
So Metaplex is more about how do we serve kind of content for NFTs
and making sure that we can generate incredible usage of those NFTs and properties across different websites.
And the story is really thinking, and they kind of announced even just,
I think today or yesterday, a lot about their plans for AI kind of licensing
of data. And that could be models, that could be feature generation,
could be anything like that out there.
We're also getting a ton of inbound right now from AI dataset creators who
are thinking a lot about how do they kind of generate revenue from their AI datasets.
And, you know, there are so many projects that are thinking in this space.
We think about data in some senses being almost like the next tradable asset.
You know, we had NFTs that were very hot in terms of trading.
We then had meme coins or hot-intrim trading.
We think data is the next kind of big trading venue that's
going to pop up in the future when you have something like a Shelby that provides the ability
for data to kind of move very dynamically in real time in the future. And so we've been very excited
about all these incoming use cases and then you know of course the content serving that comes out as well.
Amazing.
It's clear that it isn't just Aptos building in a solo.
Now, zooming out a bit, Aptos has always emphasized
performance and reward readiness, where that shall be fit
within your broader roadmap for the scalable
and developer-friendly Web3 stack.
I'll take this one and I wanna hear Shari's perspective as well from the ecosystem.
You know, Aptos is built as this real-time blockchain and it's meant to just, you know,
to serve the real-time use cases of trading, payments, movement of RWAs, any kind of value
answer transfer around the world. We think of Shelby as the very important counterpoint to that,
if anything can't really fit on the blockchain effectively from a cost perspective or from a performance perspective.
Shelby is the starting point for how you can build real-time storage and compute systems.
And those things that don't fit in blockchain spaces today because there's just so much
replication for blockchain and it's all been unwieldy.
Shelby can do this and support this at massive, massive scale, the scale of petabytes or exabytes
in the future.
And so, you know, this is just the first starting point, but we expect that, you know, Shelby will be the place in which you have all this kind of real-time compute, real-time storage, and also the data lifecycle and compute lifecycle.
I'll give you an example of this.
So when we were in meta, you know, meta processes, a lot of the web data coming in from uh from many many servers across
the world these data flows in the pipelines these pipelines then have compute things like daily
active users and other kind of revenue numbers that power all the products and meta going forward
i would know i worked in superstructure for a long time um and and the data is very hot for a couple
of days and then what happens over after a while is that you know the data kind of close off very
quickly and then you have these kind of different levels of storage that are
necessary to kind of, you may need to rehydrate that over time into hot data again. That's something
that Shelby can do over the long haul. And then it really is going to support this whole kind of
end-to-end flow of data lifecycle. And so now you have this combination again of real-time
blockchain with Aptos, real-time compute and storage with Shelby as a starting point.
And now starting to fill out the entire decentralized kind of internet infrastructure for the future.
And so that's, I think, a good way to think about it.
But Sherry, definitely let me know what you think.
I mean, I feel like this is totally my personal view.
I don't represent anyone, but like, you know,
coming from the whole Silicon Valley type of cultural,
like at the core, right?
We're just a whole bunch of engineering nerds.
Like we don't believe there is a ceiling for performance
or, you know, like architectures or technical,
like design challenges or bottleneck.
When you see the level of data and performance Instagram has built for their infrastructure and Facebook built,
and then you look at the whole Web3 space, you're like, holy shit, there's so much to do there.
There's a big space there running on super outdated and horrible kind of infrastructure and we can do
so much better it's just like i feel like this is the same kind of mindset like six years ago
whatever when we joined the whole libra blockchain project is that we look at the landscape of how
people move stable coins or do trend p2p transactions like the level of gas fee the
throughput the kind of reliability problem
they have there, it's just like, wow, oh,
they don't deserve that.
We can do 100X, like when, I mean,
when the whole Aptos team trying to do something,
we're not just trying to do mediocre, right?
Like we believe we can provide the best level
of the infrastructure.
And then we build Aptos blockchain,
the L1s to be the compute layer
to do like really fast kind of processing and transactions.
And then what's next?
Next is like people also have massive data needs.
And then our core of the engineer,
you know, the nerd inside us is just say like,
huh, that's another problem we can totally solve.
And then we've seen it solved somewhere else.
And then we believe we can replicate a similar type of mindset and then provide
a similar level of quality that we built the layer one and then continue down this pipeline.
Like compute, you have the super fast storage.
You have the CDN layers to distribute like content.
And then next we build Chrome jobs in the Web3 space,
like schedule transactions on the blockchain layer.
And then we're just trying to really make sure Web3
do can enjoy the type of performance and reliability
and throughput that Web2 application has been enjoying
because there's still such a huge gap here.
That's how I see why all those things exist and why we're doing the things that we're doing right now.
Yeah.
Thank you, Sherry.
It really takes vision and persistence to stick with an industry that feel behind
at that time.
And clearly your efforts has helped bring it to where we are today.
And that's a strong signal for the future of the Aptos stack.
And for the builders out there, this naturally leads to the next question.
So how does the Aptos Foundation plan to support developers who want to build with Shelby's capabilities in mind?
Any grants, dev tools, or incubation opportunities coming?
Absolutely.
Also, like Shelby Foundation is going to be formed as well later on to support the growth of this protocol.
Because Shelby is going to be built to support multi-chain and support developers, not only just move contracts.
developers like not only just on even just move contract,
but Aptos Foundation,
we're going to announce more of the grants and then
the developer SDK actually going to be ready soon.
Then we have DevNet planned down the road later in this year.
I think there is some ambitious,
but we're trying to still keep it internal and
then work as much as we can,
and then don't really set everybody's expectations too high. But yeah, all those things are coming
very quickly in shape. The team is very heads down building the MVP. So the timeline is looking at
around the end of the year, we will be announcing some DevNet and developer-focused testnet
to allow builders and developers to start exploring and then build applications on top of it.
And there are going to be more hackathons, grants, your normal kind of things to encourage
and then incentive people to come build on top of Shelby, use the technology and help us keep advancing and evolving.
And then next year, Q1, we're going to expect a Shelby mainnet launch.
So that's the rough timelines we're looking at.
And then more information will be shared on our social official
Shelby handle when they're ready.
Yeah, very excited.
Lots of opportunities are opening up for builders.
And on that note, let's bring Winit back in.
So Winit, as a key exchange partner,
how does Maxi plan to support the next phase of Aptos growth?
Can users expect new listings, campaigns, or ecosystem collaborations?
Thanks, Jess. Of course, we've been supporting Aptos since way back. We were actually one of
the first exchanges to list the APT. And since then, we've run trading competitions, staking
campaigns, and lots of community activities.
As you guys know, Aptos has been part of our Titan program, so it's really been a key
ecosystem for us from the beginning.
And we're not stopping anytime soon.
We will keep supporting Aptos ecosystem projects, whether that's through quality listings, ecosystem
features, or co-marketing opportunities.
You know, we are also super excited about innovations on the infralayer like Shelby,
whether it's through educational campaigns or deep protect partnerships.
And this is part of the big promise from XC, not just to our users, but also to viewers on Aftos.
not just to our users, but also to viewers on Aftos.
It's about giving people access to new tokens,
but also helping them really see what's being built,
understand the ecosystem better, and get involved.
And we are just seeing this for the long run.
And honestly, it feels like we're just getting started. Yeah, that's great to hear, especially for users actively following the ecosystem.
And speaking of active participation, Maxis just launched an Apto staking campaign.
From a trading platform perspective, Winnie, how do you see the road of staking involving,
and how does it help strengthen community engagement and token utility?
Yeah, totally. Since we are on the top pick, so let me quickly share something exciting. We've
just launched a new Apto staking event on Maxi. New users can earn up to 400% APR and existing users can get around about 50% depending on the lockup period.
It's running until July 23. So if you haven't checked it out yet, now it's a great time.
But zoom it out a bit. Staking today isn't just about passive income anymore.
It's becoming a way for people to actively support the projects they believe in.
Whether you are totally new or already deep in the space,
staking is a super easy way to get involved.
No need to mess with validators or technical setups.
And when you combine that with Aftos building like Shelby
and other infrastructure upgrades,
it really helps users feel like they are part of the bigger journey.
So yeah, it's not just about the rewards.
It's about forming the connection with the network, being part of it, and growing alongside it.
Thanks for that insight, Vinny.
Now flipping the perspective,
Avery and Sherry, from Zappta's side, do you see centralized exchange like Maxi playing a great
larger role in onboarding Web2 users and supporting validator-pacitive patients over time?
Absolutely. I think centralized exchange does a really good job on hiding the complexity
of Web3 for users that don't really understand Web3 that much, especially on the custody
service. You don't have to handle your own private keys or worry about losing your asset and a lot of like really good UX and then like a guiding
onboarding or customer service.
All those things are still, you know, like a very immature in most of the other applications
or protocols that exist today in Web3, where centralized exchange is kind of like serving
as a gateway for a lot of users are trying to get access into whole Web3 space
as a training wheel almost.
That you get a safe space to explore and then start getting to learn more and then maybe
you eventually would graduate into owning your asset and more crypto natives and then
more sophisticated.
So I think in that way, centralized exchange still serves a very,
very important role for retail users,
for distributions, and for a lot of the people
that are really trying to get into the Web3 space.
So yeah, thank you guys for really focused on the user experience
and thinking about how to keep them safe and then continue,
bring the knowledge of Web3, like distributing them and educating people and then get them more kind of like well equipped to explore in the space on their own later on.
Yeah, thank you, Sherry. And thank you, A, and team behind. That makes a lot of sense.
Collaboration across layer is key.
And moving on, while we are on the topic of accessibility,
Aptos has always prioritized users' experience.
So how do performance upgrades like Shelby
align with your broader mission of making Web3
usable for everyone?
I mean, you're right.
I mean, user experience,
there are a couple of things, I think,
when we think about your experience.
One, of course, is performance.
That's where Aptos has done really well.
And I think we've talked about the benefits
of the real-time storage.
The other part is kind of more the UX and the user,
like the journey through the products.
And we've seen how things like
Aptos keyless make it super simple to log in the same way you would with any other kind of internet website or protocol with Shelby I think what we're going to start to see is you know I think we've
not emphasized this enough is that Shelby's really meant for everyone it's not an Aptos only product
yes it is needs to be coordinated yes it needs to do kind of very high performance audits on that makes it best suited for the Aptos blockchain. But that's kind of all behind
the scenes in many ways. For those of you joining later, we're working with folks like
Metaplex from the Solana ecosystem and Story with their own layer one and being able to
provide this very high performance decentralized storage that works anywhere.
In fact, many of the people that use Shelby will not even know that it's actually a Web3 product at all.
They'll just be a product that people can access, endpoints and APIs,
and they'll be decentralized application designers that kind of handle all the bits and pieces of Web3 behind the scenes.
Shelby would just be kind of an amazing platform
for a credibly neutral storage system where when you upload
creative content, everybody, you know, you know that that's
the storage is safe.
It's not censorable.
It's something that's going to persist as long as you want
to persist out there.
And I think that's, that's a great way to think about these
are experience. It's going to be seamless.
It's going to be easy.
It's going to be just like the normal internet for you.
But behind the scenes, it's all decentralized,
it's very good protections for users,
protections for creators,
and the ability for no centralized party to disrupt the system.
To add on top of it,
I think Avery mentioned something very important is just like it just
works and then seamlessly, right?
I feel like a lot of the Web3 technology, they are way too visible today.
Like we talk about tech all the time, mostly because, you know, they don't work very well.
I think like I personally really strongly believe the best kind of infrastructure should be
invisible.
When you're using TikTok, you have no idea where they're hosting their data, where they run their web servers on.
You have no idea how Instagram operates underneath.
That's how things are supposed to be.
The product is what matters.
The product experience and user experience is what matters.
experience and user experience is what matters. The infra doesn't matter. And then for infra to
The infra doesn't matter.
not matter, you really have to really double down on the reliability of it. And then the performance,
right? You can't slow people down. You can't slow your developer down. You can't slow like a taking
off kind of a product when they're, you know, being very successful. They're going to, a bad infrastructure provider
would be just killing that kind of momentum,
which is what we see actually very frequently
in the Web3 space.
When there's an application all of a sudden taking off,
they have lots of users
and the thing's starting to falling apart.
That's the kind of like horrible place.
Like I feel like the gaps that we really need to fill in
is like one
day the web 3.0 infrastructure will be it just works you know it's so invisible that we don't
even need to talk about it anymore. Yeah thank you Sherry. Let's now speak directly to the new users.
So for users who are discovering aptest for the first time through Maxis campaign, what's your message to them? Why is now the right time to pay attention to what's being built?
Sorry, was that a question for us to talk to new users?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I think going back to Sherry's point, we're seeing like again, like all time highs
with Bitcoin today and many other cryptocurrencies, which is great.
But what we're also seeing is that kind of real-world use cases are picking up immensely in crypto space. And so Aptos just got to number three for world assets. We're
seeing tremendous growth across private credit, money market, other funds, and many different
other spaces, right? Stable coins are exploding. We're starting to see massive traction of
things like USDT, USTE, USDC on Aptos growing at an amazing pace. And we're starting to see massive traction of things like USDT, USTE, USDC on Aptos growing at an amazing pace.
And we're starting to really double down on what we think is important in the space,
which is around trading engines and supporting the most effective and efficient trading infrastructure on the planet for global liquidity layer.
I would say that all the work we're doing here is really about
building kind of that infrastructure that's necessary
for massive developer adoption, massive applications.
Shelby itself will be, you know, an infrastructure play,
but it's also something that allows
all those applications to come to market now.
And so it does take a while for people adopting technology.
And a lot of those adoption points
are because Web2 has been built so well.
It's very easy for us to log into Facebook,
log into X, use the products,
and they're very snappy, they're very quick.
They've been optimized for the minimum number of clicks,
the minimum of latency,
and it's taking some time for Web2 to catch up.
But the technology is here.
You have some of the Aptos,
you have it been powering immense products.
I think yesterday, Runa reported that their concert was powered by Aptos.
Everything went smoothly with 150k people.
All the payments went well, the check-ins went well.
And then to Sherry's point, it just worked behind the scenes.
And many of those people that went to that concert had no idea
that decentralized Web3 technology was powering this whole thing.
But what I guess I'm trying to say is these things are happening now. And they can happen when you have great technology, you have great user
experience, you have great developers, super innovative developers in the space that are
willing to kind of take risks and work with technology and then be rewarded when the technology
works out really well for you. And we're starting to see that massive adoption. And we think that
something like a Shelby is only going to accelerate that, you know, 100x in the future.
something like a Shelby is only going to accelerate that, you know, 100x in the future.
Yeah, thanks for this, Ispire and Woods.
And so far, as we move on to our last question, so what's your long-term vision for Shelby?
Do you see it involving beyond a storage layer into a core part or how value is exchanged on-chain?
storage layer into a core part or how value is exchanged on chain yeah shelby is um it's just
the first step in many ways right the biggest gap that exists today that is preventing decentralized
tech talk decentralized youtube decentralized facebook decentralized netflix is this lack of
a very high performance hot decentralized storage there and this power to give creators kind of that full
control over their content but it is only this first step now you're going to start to add like
ai data sets how do you process that information how you support decentralized kind of queries and
compute process whether it's t infrastructure or it's going to be zk proofs or kind of any other
kind of support computation against this data.
And so we see that it's the first step in building out a whole suite of AWS services,
whether it's going to be serverless infrastructure like Lambda functions,
or it could be key value storage, or it could support high throughput databases and SQL infrastructure.
This is the kind of backend infrastructure that runs almost everything in every web to like large company today. And it's just the first step, but we think that this eventually will power
a decentralized web services infrastructure that can support anything across the planet.
Yeah, it just represents the main part of our AMA and thank you so much to the Appadus teams
for joining us today and sharing
this exciting insight. And before we end, Sherry or Evry, do you have any final message for our
Maxi community or anything you'd like to share and highlight?
It's a crazy world out there, guys, and we're so early. So be active and then joining this effort, joining Aptos,
and then we can all build, you know,
like the future of decentralized infrastructure
and the amazing products together.
Sherry said it all.
We're super early in the space.
We invite everyone to help us on the Aptos journey and the Shelby journey,
and we're going to have a lot more innovation to come.
So stay tuned.
Yeah, what an amazing discussion.
And thank you so much to every sharing and winning for joining us today
and sharing such forward-thinking insights about Shelby, Aptos,
and the future of decentralized infrastructure. And to everyone tuning in, if you're excited, Aptos, and the future of decentralized infrastructure.
And to everyone tuning in,
if you're excited about Aptos and want to get involved,
join Maxi's APT staking campaign.
And it offers up to 400% APR for new users
and available until July 23rd.
So check it out while it lasts.
And don't forget to follow Maxi and Aptos Labs, also Avery
and Sherry for more updates. And stay curious because the future of Web3 is just getting started.
And thank you again. See you at the next one. Bye.
Thank you, folks.
Thank you, folks. Thank you.
