OBELISK Documentation

Welcome to the Obelisk DEX documentation. Learn how to use the first post-quantum secure decentralized exchange for trading, swapping, and managing your crypto assets.

Introduction

Obelisk is a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX) that combines the security of post-quantum cryptography with a comprehensive suite of DeFi tools. Unlike traditional centralized exchanges, Obelisk never holds your funds - you maintain complete control of your private keys at all times.

🔐 Self-Custody

Your keys, your crypto. We never store or have access to your private keys.

🛡️ Post-Quantum

Protected against quantum computer attacks with NIST-approved algorithms.

⚡ Ultra-Fast

Sub-second execution with real-time price updates every millisecond.

💰 Zero Fees

No platform fees on swaps. Only pay network gas fees.

Quick Start

Get started with Obelisk in 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Access the Platform

Navigate to app.obelisk-dex.pages.dev or click "Launch App" from the homepage.

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet

Click the "Connect Wallet" button in the top right corner. Obelisk supports:

MetaMask - Most popular browser wallet
WalletConnect - Connect any mobile wallet
Coinbase Wallet - Direct integration
Private Key - Import existing wallet (advanced)

⚠️

Security Notice

Never share your private key or seed phrase with anyone. Obelisk will never ask for your private key through email or support.

Step 3: Start Trading

Once connected, you can immediately access all features: trading, swapping, banking, and portfolio management.

Connect Wallet

Obelisk uses a non-custodial architecture, meaning your wallet connects directly to the blockchain without intermediaries.

Supported Networks

Network	Chain ID	Status
Arbitrum One	42161	● Active
Ethereum	1	● Active
Optimism	10	● Coming Soon
Base	8453	● Coming Soon

Perpetual Trading

Trade perpetual contracts on 100+ assets with up to 100x leverage. Obelisk aggregates liquidity from Hyperliquid for deep order books and tight spreads.

Order Types

Market Order - Execute immediately at best available price
Limit Order - Set your desired entry price
Stop Loss - Automatically close position at specified loss
Take Profit - Lock in gains at target price

Leverage

Adjust leverage from 1x to 100x using the slider. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses. We recommend starting with lower leverage (5-10x) until you're familiar with the platform.

💡

Pro Tip

Use the order book depth visualization to identify key support and resistance levels before placing trades.

Token Swap

Swap any token instantly with the best rates aggregated from multiple DEXs including Uniswap, SushiSwap, and Curve.

How It Works

Select the token you want to swap from
Select the token you want to receive
Enter the amount
Review the quote and slippage
Confirm the transaction in your wallet

Slippage Protection

Default slippage tolerance is set to 0.5%. You can adjust this in settings. Higher slippage may be needed for low-liquidity tokens.

DeFi Banking

Obelisk Banking allows you to deposit crypto assets and earn interest, similar to a traditional savings account but fully decentralized.

Features

Flexible Deposits - Withdraw anytime with no lock-up
Competitive APY - Rates updated in real-time based on market conditions
Auto-Compound - Interest automatically reinvested
Multi-Asset - Support for ETH, USDC, USDT, and more

Crypto Bonds

Fixed-term investments with guaranteed returns. Lock your crypto for a specified period and earn predictable yields.

Term	APY	Min. Deposit
30 Days	5.2%	$100
90 Days	8.5%	$100
180 Days	12.0%	$500

Future-Proof Security

While quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption don't exist yet, Obelisk is already prepared for that future.

Self-Custody

Obelisk is 100% non-custodial. This means:

Your private keys never leave your device
We cannot freeze or seize your funds
No KYC or account registration required
You are in complete control at all times

Social Recovery

Obelisk supports social recovery to help you regain access to your wallet if you lose your private key.

How It Works

Designate trusted "guardians" (friends, family, or hardware devices)
If you lose access, initiate recovery
Guardians approve the recovery request
After threshold approvals, you regain access with a new key
