## AI overview

Vercel CLI now offers an optional experimental native binary that starts faster, improves security, and removes the Node.js runtime dependency. The signed binaries support macOS, Linux, and Windows on x64 and arm64, while macOS credentials are stored in the system Keychain with binary-specific access controls.

## Source excerpt

The Vercel CLI now ships an optional experimental native binary that starts faster, is even more secure, and requires no Node.js runtime dependency. Binaries are code-signed, allowing your OS to verify that they came from Vercel and haven't been modified. Additionally, on macOS, credentials are stored in the system Keychain scoped to the binary, so other processes cannot access them without explicit permission. You can opt in by installing the experimental package: The -f flag is required because @vercel/vc-native installs the same global vercel and vc bin names as the standard CLI. Once installed, vercel and vc run the native binary across macOS, Linux, and Windows on x64 and arm64. Let us know what you think on GitHub. Read more
