Web3 developers, AI teams, and data-intensive platforms that need high-performance, verifiable storage to access and manage large datasets in real time
About Shelby
Shelby is a verifiable, global object storage system purpose-built for AI and other read-heavy workloads, designed to deliver high-performance data access with strong guarantees of ownership, integrity, and control. It enables users to store data once and access it from any region through a unified interface, eliminating fragmentation while maintaining cryptographic verification of what was stored, when, where it originated, who owns it, and who has access rights. It is optimized for demanding use cases such as AI training and inference, video streaming, and large-scale analytics, where fast read speeds and high bandwidth are critical. Shelby uses a decentralized architecture with storage providers, RPC nodes, and a blockchain coordination layer to ensure data availability, enforce access logic, and manage payments, while maintaining sub-second latency and high throughput through dedicated network infrastructure.
