Vercel WAF for Blob is now in beta
The Vercel WAF can now protect a Vercel Blob store. The same rules that guard your deployments (deny, challenge, rate limit) now apply to blob traffic with no changes to your code, blob URLs, or @vercel/blob . Every blob is already served through Vercel's CDN , so protection is a switch on the store, not a new proxy.
