Funding Your Storage Account

Before uploading files to Shelby, your storage account needs to hold two types of tokens:

  1. ShelbyUSD tokens - Used to pay for blob storage on the Shelby network
  2. APT tokens - Used to pay for gas fees when sending transactions

Funding Methods

  1. APT tokens: Fund your storage account with testnet APT through the Aptos Testnet Faucet.
  2. ShelbyUSD tokens: Sign up for early access through the Shelby Discord to receive testnet ShelbyUSD tokens.
