Obsidian Labs Corporation
Product and infrastructure team for Obsidian Chain
Obsidian Labs is the commercial and engineering arm of the ecosystem.
The protocol and OBS token live at the chain level.
Labs builds everything users touch Rock messenger, the native DEX and bridge, developer tooling, and the infrastructure that turns DBT² into daily usage.
The team has already delivered a working DBT² based chain, a live block explorer, and Rock messaging on test networks.
The focus now is on production ready mobile clients, launch of the Obsidian DEX and bridge, hardened validator and archive node tooling, and enterprise messaging and data products built on the same rail.

What Obsidian Labs is
A focused company that turns protocol capability into live products, real users, and repeatable revenue, all tied back to activity on Obsidian Chain.
Role
Builder of the stack
Labs develops Rock, the Obsidian DEX and bridge, mobile and desktop clients, SDKs, indexers, and high reliability infrastructure. Every release is aimed at moving more traffic and state onto DBT² and deepening the utility of OBS.
Function
Revenue engine
Core income streams come from Rock premium and business features, DEX and bridge fees, hosted RPC and analytics, validator and archive node services, and enterprise messaging and audit products.
Strategic value
Adoption accelerator
Labs exists to make it simple for users, creators, and enterprises to live on Obsidian. More communication on chain drives more OBS utility, deeper liquidity, more validators and archive nodes, and more integrations over time.
Operating flywheel
Rock, liquidity, and infrastructure sit in a simple loop. Each part feeds the next and pushes more activity back to the chain.
User layer
Rock daily activity
Rock runs directly on message blocks and brings in users, chats, channels, and creators. Every conversation lives on Obsidian and drives demand for secure infrastructure and OBS.
Encrypted messaging
Channels and feeds
On chain identity
Liquidity layer
DEX and bridge flow
As Rock and other apps grow, users and projects trade on the Obsidian DEX and move assets through the bridge. That deepens OBS liquidity on decentralized and centralized venues and creates fee streams for Labs and the protocol.
Swap fees
Cross chain capital
CEX integrations
Security and infra
Validators and enterprise
Validators and archive nodes secure both transaction and message blocks. Enterprises and partners pay for hosted infra, dedicated RPC, and compliant archives, all built on the same chain state that Rock and other apps use.
Staking and yield
Hosted nodes
Audit ready storage
Product stack
From protocol to Rock, Labs ships a full stack that turns DBT² into user facing products, liquidity, and enterprise rails.
