# Blob Storage

Val Town provides built-in key/value blob storage via the `std/blob` module. Reach for it whenever a val needs to persist simple values — JSON documents, cached API responses, uploaded files, or binary assets — keyed by a string. For relational or structured data you query with SQL, prefer `std/sqlite` instead.

## Scoping: account-global or per-val depending on import

There are two exports of the blob utility: `global.ts`, which is scoped to the user account, and `main.ts`, which is scoped to the val itself. Prefer the `main.ts` interface and val scoping for new vals.

Here is the scoped import:

```ts
/**
 * Importing from `main.ts` provides an interface to val-scoped blobs.
