THE OPERATING BUSINESS
Obsidian Labs Corporation is a U.S. company that builds products and earns revenue. We are the engineering team behind the entire ecosystem.
THE PROTOCOL STEWARD
Obsidian Chain Foundation is a separate U.S. company that stewards the network and manages the token treasury. It does not build software directly.
Obsidian Labs Corporation does not hold the token treasury or issue any tokens. This separation ensures clear accountability: Obsidian Chain focuses on protocol stewardship, while Obsidian Labs focuses on building real products that create value. Labs is paid in USD for development work under formal contracts.
Obsidian Labs generates revenue through multiple streams, combining traditional software contracts with blockchain-native earnings.
Obsidian Chain Foundation pays Labs in USD to build the Obsidian blockchain, Rock Messenger, DEX, bridge, and infrastructure.
