Glad to be a node operator in the Zealous Zebra Cluster, running Geth and Lighthouseon the Simple DVT SSV module. Looking forward to mainnet!

This was a great space today on @SpooksLabs with @Greg_Nazario and @rpranav, all about @shelbyserves.
Here are some of the highlights from the transcript of the space:
‣ What Is Shelby?
Shelby is Aptos Labs' decentralized storage solution, designed for high-performance data needs like:
‣ Streaming video (YouTube/Netflix alternatives)
‣ AI inference workloads
‣ Decentralized content delivery
Why Shelby Was Built:
‣ Existing decentralized storage (like IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave) is too slow for real-time use.
‣ Web3 apps often rely on centralized storage, breaking decentralization.
‣ Shelby aims to match or exceed Web2 performance (like AWS S3) while staying decentralized.
How Shelby Works:
‣ Uses dedicated decentralized fiber networks via a partner (@doublezero).
‣ Features a novel auditing protocol for data availability with low overhead.
‣ Leverages Aptos blockchain as the fast coordination layer (sub-500ms latency).
‣ Uses Clay codes for optimal storage & bandwidth efficiency.
‣ Includes battle-tested, high-performance software from @jump_.
Unique Innovations:
‣ Charges for reads, not just writes:
Incentivizes high-performance node operation.
‣ Attracts valuable data worth paying for.
‣ Expected to be cheaper than cloud providers over time with scale.
Use Cases Being Built:
‣ Decentralized YouTube/Netflix: Stream content based on NFT/token access.
‣ AI Data Marketplaces: Sell specialized datasets (e.g., nature photography).
‣ Model Benchmarking & Inference: Shelby will serve as a data layer for LLM & model testing.
‣ Photography/Creator Monetization: Ownership and direct monetization of content.
‣ @FlashbackLabs: Monetize anonymized personal data for AI training.
Developer Info:
‣ CLI + SDK already in private testing with partners.
‣ Form will open soon on https://t.co/D7xbk7WsLI for early dev access.
‣ Shelby DevNet will be around the Aptos Experience timeline.
‣ Supports integration/migration from existing storage (like IPFS).
‣ Open for community-built migration tools and plugin layers.
Alpha Drops:
‣ Top-tier L1 blockchain wants to use Shelby as storage.
‣ A major Hollywood studio is building a streaming platform on Shelby.
‣ Entire Creator Economy platform is coming to Shelby (led by Aptos' @drewhariri).
‣ Shelby will be cross-chain compatible, not just for Aptos.
Make sure to listen to the entire Spooks Labs space if you missed it !
@briwhoze I am Louis, a researcher from hellmanresearch under IPFS-FORCE in Shanghai, China. I would like to connect with you to discuss participation in the upcoming testnet and exchange further information to better engage in your testing efforts. THX~
The @mellowprotocol Decentralised Validator Vault has reached 7388 ETH! 👏👏
This is a 278% increase in TVL over 6 weeks. 📈
We are less than 330 ETH away from reaching capacity.

I have deployed a unstoppable frontend with @EthStorage, check here web3://0x3DC6fBbC5F119569b28Cf522E7646da5bf88D0A6:3333/app.html, wallet address 0x957eA29E9554621a89B9356AAec0240Bd1F5aCa9.
I am applying to participate in the 2nd EthStorage public testnet campaign, and my wallet address is <0x957eA29E9554621a89B9356AAec0240Bd1F5aCa9> @EthStorage
The Lido Simple DVT Module is here 🌐
72 net-new Node Operators, including solo stakers, powered by @ObolNetwork-based Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), are ready to run validators.
Net-new ETH deposits to Lido on Ethereum will be automatically directed by the Staking Router to the Simple DVT Module until the module reaches the limit of depositable validators (or maximum capacity).
