We’re proud to share that @jump_ is an engineering and network contributor to @doublezero : the first decentralized physical infrastructure layer purpose-built for high-performance blockchains and distributed systems, allowing high-throughput fiber access for all builders.

Building the rails for new, critical infrastructure starts with high-integrity partners behind it. At the heart of @DoubleZero is a global backbone of individually contributed fiber links, provided by a growing assembly of HFT firms, telecom operators, and independent providers. These underutilized fiber links are fused into a synchronized network that increases bandwidth, reduces latency, and eliminates jitter, forming the foundation of @DoubleZero’s 70+ link global mainnet-beta network. For the first time in history, the same infrastructure that powers Wall Street is being tailored to public blockchain networks, unlocking deterministic bandwidth, low-latency routing, and future edge-level filtration at the physical layer. The independent contributor model introduces a novel architecture for coordination and purpose-built for decentralized systems at scale. Meet the contributors powering it all ↓🧵

FPGAs are your first line of defense against DDoS. @DoubleZero is integrating daisy-chained FPGA hardware acceleration, an approach supported by @jump_firedancer, because large-scale attacks should be handled at the network edge, not by your validator. FPGAs explained, simply ↓

CLARITY represents a milestone of a legislative accomplishment to bring much needed certainty for builders and market participants. Market structure legislation is important to allow the digital asset industry to thrive in the USA. Congratulations to @FinancialCmte and @HouseAgGOP on the successful cross-committee, bipartisan product. @jump_ looks forward to engaging with the Senate to finish the work on this pivotal legislation.

Stablecoins already play a pivotal role in the digital asset industry and are poised to reshape how value and collateral move through our economy. The GENIUS Act supplies the clear, common-sense rules needed to unlock that innovation in the United States for generations to come.

@shelbyserves is critical decentralized infrastructure for unlocking data intensive use cases and is designed to serve data fast and cost-effectively In this article @jump_ 's research team explores how Shelby came to be and why are we excited about it

Hello all, as part of the Jump Crypto research team, I would like to share why we are building Shelby.

Excited to build @shelbyserves with @AptosLabs Hot storage with CDN-grade performance - sub second reads, global delivery and the ability to own and control the full data stack !

If you missed @AveryChing speaking in @Permissionless with @zsparta I got you covered. Will also be breaking this down on @SpooksLabs Space; As well as discussing AIP 119 with @moon_shiesty and @eric_amnis. See you guys there!

Big announcement from @aptoslabs and @jump_: @shelbyserves is live. Here’s everything you need to know about Shelby + how it aspires to help users experience the benefits of blockchain (finally) in realtime. @AveryChing & @zsparta just dropped this on the mainstage @Permissionless (One tweet. Scroll for TL;DR) — Avery Ching (@Aptos co-founder/CEO) and Saurabh Sharma (Head of Investments at Jump Crypto) took the stage to reveal a joint venture: “Shelby,” in their talk “The Next Bottleneck: Rethinking Real-Time Infrastructure.” The problem they’re solving: The big blocker in blockchain isn’t storing data—it’s making that data usable in realtime, at performance speeds, in a secure/decentralized way. Right now, onchain data lives in slow, siloed systems that throttle performance when you need it. Internet users expect it. Current solutions—static or centralized databases—have too many pitfalls (you’ve got to trust someone). Most blockchains aren’t responsive enough for real-time use (even if they’re “fast”). It’s like having a sports car parked in someone else’s garage with the keys locked inside. Onchain natives understand this and we’re still looking for good solutions. Shelby is exciting because it promises to unlock block storage that’s built for performance, to make your data usable; competitive by default, and monetizable from day one—because creators and consumers don’t just want to “own” their data, they just want to use things that add value to their lives. Why this partnership? Why now? Aptos brings deep experience from Web2 and Web3 and has been live, fast, battle-tested since 2022. Jump knows how to extract high performance from large systems—Saurabh said they have “massive respect for what Aptos has built.” (Generally speaking, I’m a big fan of partnerships that reflects industry-wide alignment around solving real problems like this—we could use more of this in crypto). Shelby is a solution oriented around making hot storage and real-time logic work at the speed modern applications demand. If that works, it could help us fulfill a long-awaited promise of web3: ownership that doesn’t sacrifice speed or control. It would be an unlock that could push Aptos into a category of one. Who is Shelby for? And how can I use it? Shelby is built to plug into any chain, any stack (ie integrate once, serve data anywhere 👀) and was designed to meet the demands of content platforms, AI applications, and data markets. It can enable use cases like onchain streaming that’s monetized at the view level, real-time DePIN data utilization, or decentralized social networks. My big take away was that these aren’t edge cases—if this tech can deliver, dapps like this are going to be the new normal. The best part? It’s live now, and you’re invited to test it. Sign up for early access today at If you’re at Permissionless, visit the Aptos arena on the second floor of building 8 in Industry City—the team is there for the next three days to answer your questions personally. They’re also hosting hackathons tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday. Big shout out to @anuxhya & company for inviting the @RUMSHQ crew to help with coverage (more coming in the days ahead)—and to all of you for trusting us to help you learn. — TL;DR: Aptos just announced Shelby—block storage infrastructure that solves the real bottleneck: making data stored onchain actually usable at high speeds. Unlike cold or centralized storage solutions, Shelby is built to help apps deliver real-time performance without sacrificing security or decentralization. It plugs into any chain to enable new types of high-throughput, programmable applications. Live now at Hope that helps 🙏✌️
