Custody Architecture

Built like a vault, audited like a bank.

Cold Wallet Isolation

97% of tracked assets sit in air-gapped, geographically distributed multi-signature vaults. No network path. No single point of failure.

Non-Custodial by Design

Keys are generated and held client-side in HSM-backed enclaves. Obsidian never touches, sees, or can move your assets.
