A good fit if
- Consider Obsidian only if a $500,000 CRO commitment already fits your plans and you can use benefits beyond everyday cashback.
The tradeoff
- Twelve-month CRO lockup/staking carries price risk; general rewards fall from 4.5% to 1% after $5,000 monthly.
- Brazil caps remain unconfirmed.
