Power, compute, & data co-location are essential for AI. And moving models and training data around is now the biggest tax on innovation.
When we started the collab with @jump_ last year, I believed @shelbyserves would be the most powerful & disruptive serving layer imaginable. I didn't know how important it would be to teleport data around for training, inference, fine-tuning, long-term memory, and more that spans a global infrastructure. Its scalable nature localizes data to every company and person in the world at ~70% less cost than the big hyperscalars, with higher availability due to decentralization.
@shelbyserves early access today is a huge milestone on this journey. There has been tremendous outreach from so many builders who have experienced Shelby devnet and know that there is finally a product that fits their needs. A high-performance storage serving layer takes time to build (I've done this a few times in my career, lol). Shipping a novel product this quickly is a direct result of Jump/Aptos talent & synergy.
This type of high-performance serving infrastructure needs the high-performance trading engine in @Aptos (<40ms block times, 99.99% uptime, native trading VM). We're blown away by the builder community creating on devnet - large enterprises and startups alike. Testnet is a bigger, better playground, mainnet coming soon!

Data trading follows AI growth.
Trillions spent on AI hardware requires exabytes of training data. GDPR and new privacy laws exacerbate a need for new data sources for training. Users will negotiate access to their data in exchange for compensation in global markets.
Global data markets. Served with @shelbyserves and traded on @DecibelTrade.
Fully decentralized, onchain trading. Made to match the performance of centralized exchanges. Built on the rails of Aptos, the Global Trading Engine.

Enjoyed the Christmas @DecibelTrade testnet trading competition.
I traded a single account (no gaming the system for me) like real money, sized risk conservatively, and ended the week up ~15%.
Fully onchain perps feels real.
More assets + features building on this novel foundation.
