Jump Crypto and Aptos Labs Collaborate on Shelby: A High-Performance Decentralized Storage Protocol for Production-Level Applications

Jump Crypto and Aptos Labs have jointly developed Shelby, a decentralized storage protocol for production-level applications. Shelby overcomes traditional storage bottlenecks, offering performance on par with Web2 cloud services, costs lower than centralized cloud storage, and a comprehensive developer toolkit. It utilizes Aptos' coordinating layer and a dedicated fiber optic network to support high-performance storage. Shelby has launched a developer incentive program and entered into early-stage collaborations with over 50 institutions across various fields.

Lumera Protocol, an AI-first Layer-1 blockchain, has unveiled Cascade, a permanent decentralized storage module designed specifically for AI data. This innovation addresses the growing demand for reliable and cost-effective data storage solutions in the AI sector, according to a Crypto.News report.

Cascade works by breaking down uploaded files into small, overlapping pieces, which are then distributed across multiple SuperNodes. This method ensures data redundancy and permanence. In case any node goes offline or loses data, Cascade's self-healing system automatically restores the missing pieces from other nodes. This ensures that users can store data indefinitely once they pay for it, a significant departure from traditional blockchain storage models, the report adds.

Alongside Cascade, Lumera Protocol has also launched Lumera Hub, a user and developer interface for its entire ecosystem. The Hub is designed to make the decentralized infrastructure accessible to both developers and end users, while Cascade represents a new standard for permanent storage, Lumera says.

The introduction of Cascade and Lumera Hub positions Lumera Protocol as a leader in AI-focused blockchain technology, offering a robust solution for the complex and data-intensive needs of AI models. As AI models continue to grow in complexity and data requirements, the ability to store data permanently and efficiently becomes increasingly critical. Lumera's innovation in this area could have significant implications for the AI industry and blockchain technology more broadly, the report notes.
