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.
