Developer Tutorial for Shelby Devnet

Get started with Shelby using the CLI, SDK, and Quickstart repository. This tutorial walks through the full setup and core workflows: creating an account, uploading blobs, downloading blobs, and exploring the code behind each step.

Step 1 - Setup:
-Create a geomi.dev account and API key (select Shelby.Net, enable client usage)
-Install the Shelby CLI (npm i -g @shelby-protocol/cli)
-Clone the Quickstart repository

Step 2 - Shelby CLI:
-Initialize your account with shelby init
-Fund via faucet (Shelby USD for storage fees, APT for transaction fees)
-Upload and download blobs from the command line

Step 3 - Quickstart Repo:
-Install dependencies and configure your app (npm run config)
-Upload a blob using the Shelby SDK (ShelbyNodeClient, client.upload)
-List your blobs (client.getAccountBlobs)
-Download a blob (client.download)

The Quickstart repo includes individual files for each workflow (upload, list, download) plus an index.ts that combines all three.

Prerequisites: Linux or macOS, Node.js v22+, Aptos CLI
