Content Provenance
on Vercel Edge
Add Edge Middleware that embeds invisible provenance markers into every article on your Vercel site. Works with Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and any framework. No application code changes. Free for all publishers.
How It Works
Three steps from zero to signed articles on Vercel. One middleware file, one environment variable.
Add the Middleware
Drop the Encypher Edge Middleware into your Vercel project. Works with Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and any framework deployed on Vercel. No changes to your application code.
Set Environment Variables
Add your Encypher API key in the Vercel dashboard. The middleware connects to your Encypher account and begins protecting content on the next deployment.
Protect Every Article
Every article on your site receives invisible provenance markers at the edge. When that content is copied, scraped, or republished, you can trace it back to its source.
Works With Your CMS
The Edge Middleware detects and protects article content automatically across every major publishing platform. No per-CMS configuration needed.

Built for Publisher Sites
Designed for reliability at CDN scale. No performance impact on your site, no risk to availability.
Works With Every CMS
Automatic content detection across WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace, Webflow, Substack, Hugo, news wires, and custom HTML. No per-CMS configuration needed.
Invisible, Persistent Protection
Provenance markers are invisible to readers. They survive copy-paste into Google Docs, Slack, social media, and AI prompts, so you can trace content wherever it travels.
V8 Isolate Caching
Signed content plans are cached in the V8 isolate. Subsequent requests for the same article resolve from memory with no API round-trip. Standard Web APIs throughout.
Your Site Never Breaks
If anything goes wrong, the middleware returns the original response unchanged. Provenance is additive. It never degrades your site availability or reader experience.
Protect Every Article on Vercel
One middleware file. V8 isolate caching at every edge node. Know where your content goes when it is copied, scraped, or ingested by AI.
