Bps on facilities on the tape
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
ALDX
The incumbent copy takes a year. The named customer is already writing.
The protocol pitch was declined. What remains is software against an invoice. a short list people still asked.
Alder House — A system of record for private-credit funds and desks: tapes, RFQs, or covenants that update when a borrower files. The buyers already have a book. This is plumbing, not a venue that matches strangers.
Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.
5 live counterparties in the thread. The public page is the overflow.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

The wedge
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
Why the desk took it
Retail was never in the deck. Rare.
Traction
Founded 2026, headquartered in Geneva. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 3 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 73/100. Four origination desks posting into a closed tape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Next 12 months
A DeFi lending pool is the opposite company. Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
The brief
The decline pile in Credit covenants is not a rumour. It is how this board stays readable. Alder House is what survived. That is the sell.
Alder House exists because the incumbent brand will not staff the unglamorous middle of Credit covenants. The product is that middle. The token, if it ever exists, is not the product — and is not for sale here. The people in the queue already understood the difference.
A dual-control drill sits on paper. Keys, title, or NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Alder House. The architecture says so. We have not watched the drill live. That is the next ask, not a slogan.
From the pilot
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From ops
This communication is not an offer. Participation mechanics do not exist on this pad. If a later reader treats the public stack as the offer, the stack was already wrong.
From counsel
We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.
The window
The next Credit covenants company on this board will not have this waitlist, this HQ, or this counsel posture.
0% of proceeds. Fixed fee. The incentive is a clean campaign — not a raise.
If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.

The auditor has seen the dual-record. Switching now is a new conversation. That is the lock.

The bet
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
The wedge is the shared drive: marks, covenants and RFQs still live in email.
Allocators want daily marks and covenant visibility. Banks want to originate without building a chain team. The first honest tape that does not pretend to be an exchange will be paid for as software.
Private credit AUM is measured in trillions. The software take-rate is small. The switching cost, once a tape is the record, is not.
Versus the field
A generalist vendor can copy the slide in a quarter. They cannot copy the named record, the scheme map, or the auditor conversation. That is the year they would have to buy.
Geneva being the city does not make local retail a default audience. Communications capable of inducing investment activity still have a promotions problem.
How it works
In the same conversation as
If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Named operators
35%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Second market
27%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.
Control environment
15%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Certifications & adapters
23%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
Ten live facilities or this is still a lab.
No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
If they raise, it is to hire the remaining certifications and the second market — not to float a coin.
Traction
Founded 2026, headquartered in Geneva. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 3 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 73/100. Four origination desks posting into a closed tape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Undetermined — not a path has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.
The moment this looks like a public book, it is a venue. This pad will not list that.
Who owns the tape when a fund leaves? If that is unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
A default cluster will test whether the product is a record or a reputation.
Retail is prohibited. Any ‘access token’ story is a different company.
If a fund leaves and the tape stays, who owns the history? Unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
A later round that wants a public token puts Alder House in a different perimeter. The file treats that as a hard stop.

Structure
Too early to talk about a round on this pad. Screen first. A path has to be named by counsel before anyone should wire.
Where they can operate
Named markets are where a sentence is allowed. Restricted is where it is not. This is not a worldwide offering.

Who can decide
Jonah Reilly (Chief executive) will take a 30-minute call and decide budget. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, this company would not be on the board.
Year two is a second named market and the remaining certifications — still permissioned. It is not a public book. A public book would be a different company.
