Obelisk Inc is a computer hardware manufacturer based in Boston, Massachusetts. The company focuses on developing high-quality ASIC mining hardware intended to support networks for cryptocurrencies such as Decred and Siacoin, with a view to improving security and future-proofing their operation. Its approach contrasts with GPU-based mining by aiming to align miner incentives with the long-term success of the coins, potentially reducing the risk of 51% attacks on smaller networks. The organization traces its roots to the team behind the Sia project and has expanded to include a dedicated group of engineers with extensive experience in ASIC and electronics design. Obelisk operates in a niche within the crypto mining equipment industry, targeting users who prioritize robust, purpose-built hardware for specific cryptocurrencies.
