Bringing Shelby to IBW was something special. Some amazing Shelby projects are being built in 🇮🇳 ..
"The next wave of AI model differentiation will come from custom, hard‑to‑acquire datasets - where Shelby will play a key role." Served in real-time: @rpranav at the @IBWOfficial main stage.

My feed is full of YouTube’s AI moderation faux pas. Creators need more ownership of their content and less dependency on single AI brained bot driven platform. @shelbyserves solves this.
I’ve stayed quiet long enough. Today, after 108 days, I’m saying this clearly: YouTube didn’t just terminate 3 of my channels. They terminated my career, my income, and my trust — without showing a single piece of evidence. Not ONE timestamp. Not ONE video link. Not ONE

Fresh marketing for @shelbyserves. "We don't own our content, we can be de-platformed at any time, and we don't really benefit from the upside." Creator platforms like @watcheeos are aiming to solve these opportunities for creators to focus on creation and provide tools for

It’s been over a decade since the industry has been talking about how decentralization gives ownership back to the users. Blockchains are great ledgers - for money, accounting and even coordination. But the data ownership remains the holy grail of digital ownership thesis.

1/ Excited to announce that @gvamsip, @xosmig, @XiangZhuolun and I have a new paper on building a high-performance mempool for Aptos, which runs directly on the Aptos validators: https://t.co/khHo8zZAGX. The paper has several cool ideas:
eprint.iacr.org
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) remains one of the most corrosive forces in blockchain systems, enabling frontrunning, sandwiching, and other manipulations that directly exploit users. The core...

Choosing the right erasure coding scheme is about balancing between storage overhead and repair bandwidth and trying to get close to MSR point on the tradeoff curve. Not sure what that means? Checkout this thorough yet easy to grok deep dive from Sneha on Shelby erasure coding
AWS stores data at ~1.8x overhead using erasure coding. Most decentralized protocols? 3-5x replication. That gap is finally closing 🪜 here's how Shelby achieves <2x replication factor while staying fully decentralized :)
