My friend's first bucket of gold in the cryptocurrency circle came from APT @ Aptos. Watching this old chain go from 0 to 100 and then to 10, this round was basically taken care of by the brother chain SUI But APT still gives me the feeling of a public chain that is not bad for money and could explode at any time, so I have been keeping an eye on it. Recently, two updates from APT @ Aptos have been impressive: one ⃣ Launch top-level project Shelby @ shelbyservices Shelby is a Web3 distributed cloud storage layer jointly developed by Aptos Labs and Jump Crypto, suitable for high-frequency reading scenarios such as video streaming, AI data streaming, and DePIN. It is an important step for Web3 to move towards high-performance data infrastructure, which many people have mentioned. When the project is open, it must be shipped out. Big brother pre orders! Core features and technological highlights ① Low latency and ultra-high throughput ② Cross chain compatibility ③ Read and reward machine ④ Audit mechanism and data integrity assurance Comparison with other projects: Overall, Shelby is the first Web3 project aimed at building a decentralized high-performance hot storage infrastructure, combining Aptos' trading performance with Jump Crypto's system engineering capabilities. It is expected to provide new storage logic and business models for AI, video, DePIN and other application ecosystems two ⃣ APT @ AptosLabs launches Aptos Connect Free Trading Week Time: July 23rd to 30th Process: Aptos Connect will provide users with free GAS services. Users can send any tokens on Aptos without paying network gas fees. This is the website http://aptosconnect.app APT's proposal for free GAS is a very strategic move, not only to attract users, but also to build infrastructure for next-generation Web3 applications such as AI, agents, and games. APT is trying to transform blockchain from a "cost tool" to a "contactless service," which is very compatible with Shelby mentioned earlier We can see that the scenarios of APT layout include AI, DEPIN, video streaming, etc. These are all extremely important tracks in the current or future encryption circle, and they are also the necessary path to connect traditional financial markets. Therefore, the direction taken by APT @ Aptos is absolutely correct, and we look forward to the rich profits after deeply cultivating APT!
