ChainFeed is a decentralized media storage layer designed for Web3 social platforms.
Decentralized social networks often rely on centralized storage providers to host images, videos, and other media. This creates a bottleneck and reduces decentralization.
ChainFeed uses decentralized high-speed storage infrastructure like Shelby to serve frequently accessed media files such as:
- Profile images
- Social posts
- Short videos
- Creator content
User Upload → ChainFeed API → Shelby Storage Layer → Fast Media Retrieval
Once Shelby developer access is available, the storage layer will be upgraded to:
- Store media on Shelby nodes
- Retrieve media with sub-second latency
- Enable token-gated media access

Decentralized Content Networks
ChainFeed is designed as a decentralized media storage layer for Web3 social platforms.
Flow:
User Upload ↓ ChainFeed API ↓ Shelby Hot Storage ↓ Fast Retrieval for Web3 Applications
This architecture enables fast media delivery while maintaining decentralized infrastructure.
