The networks of the Shelby Protocol
This page is a reference guide for the network urls and capabilities of the available networks. To actually use the Shelby network, please follow the Quickstart.
shelbynet
Shelby currently operates a single developer prototype network called shelbynet.
shelbynet will be wiped roughly once a week, or faster.
To support shelbynet, a new set of Aptos validators is running as well, under the network name of shelbynet.
Use shelbynet as the network name when interacting with Aptos Explorer.
This network is isolated from the Aptos mainnet, Aptos testnet, and Aptos devnet.
Limits and Capabilities
Storage Capacity: approximately 10 TiB.

Shelby RPC server
A single RPC server is running for Shelby devnet. This server is running in a cloud environment. We use a private network configured in the cloud environment to conect the RPC server to the storage providers.
The RPC server is routed to public internet using Geomi, accessible using the URL above.
Storage Providers
For Shelby devnet, we are running 16 storage providers in a cloud environment. These providers are running in a single region, with a private network connecting them. Each Storage Provider has 1 TiB of disk.
