The wedge
Member seat
The wedge is T+1: gross settlement got expensive overnight.
CLOZ
A named Tel Aviv buyer is on the record. You are still reading the public page.
A dual-control drill is on paper. A named licensed party holds the liability. That is rarer than a waitlist.
Clove North — A permissioned netting engine for trading venues and brokers that are already licensed. It reduces what has to settle. It is not a new CCP, and it is not a collateral token.
In a 14-day diligence sprint (day 4). This is when the story, the customers and the legal path get written down — or the file stops.
They unpublish in an hour. They will not wait for your committee to finish reading.
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 T+1: gross settlement got expensive overnight.
Why the desk took it
A broker named a fail-cost number. That is a budget.
Traction
Founded 2023, headquartered in Tel Aviv. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 86/100. Sprint day 4 of 14. A named Tel Aviv administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Clove North.
Next 12 months
LCH is the CCP. This is netting in front of the CCP. Seat plus event. If they ever attach a token as the unit of account, the file stops.
The brief
The decline pile in Clearing is not a rumour. It is how this board stays readable. Clove North is what survived. That is the sell.
If you leave this page without opening the claims table, you have read marketing. The scarce version of Clove North is the version that survives counsel. It is on a clock.
On a Tuesday in Tel Aviv, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.
From counsel
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
From the founder
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.
The window
The incumbent will still be slow in a year. The window will not.
A supervisor is already forcing a perimeter. Houses that pick software over a coin will buy this now.
The scarce thing is not the company. It is the next a few days of a live conversation.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
Renewal is the round. If nobody renews, there is no company. A token would not fix that.

A L2 wrapper is cheaper. It is also a different perimeter — and declined here.

The bet
The wedge is T+1: gross settlement got expensive overnight.
The wedge is T+1: gross settlement got expensive overnight.
T+1 and capital rules make gross settlement expensive. Venues will buy netting as a service before they will buy a new licence.
Post-trade cost is a line on every broker P&L. A 10% cut in settlement fails is a CFO conversation.
Versus the field
The incumbent brand sells the relationship. Clove North sells the job the brand will not staff. A protocol pitch is the thing this company has already refused. Open-source looks free until the auditor asks who attests.
Tel Aviv 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.
Counsel & perimeter
29%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Named operators
25%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Claims & campaign ops
22%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Control environment
24%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.

The wedge
Next twelve months
A default drill with a number, not a narrative.
Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Clove North.
They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.
Traction
Founded 2023, headquartered in Tel Aviv. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 6 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 86/100. Sprint day 4 of 14. A named Tel Aviv administrator who already signs the pack (redacted). Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Clove North.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Seat plus event. If they attach a token as the unit of account, this company is a different company — and not one we will operate a campaign for.
If a regulator reads this as clearing, the licence problem is existential.
That ask has been refused on files like this. It should stay refused.
Who eats the loss? If the answer is ‘the protocol’, there is no protocol that can.
CCPs can copy the netting logic faster than a startup can collect members.
The incumbent can ship the same netting as a feature. Clove North has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.
A later round that wants a public token puts Clove North in a different perimeter. The file treats that as a hard stop.

Structure
Sprint is diligence, not a raise. A pack at the end is a file the company can take to its own lawyers and investors. RCA Pad does not complete funding.
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
The technical founder is on the record as Chief compliance. Contractors in undisclosed jurisdictions are written down as a fact, not hidden. Facts can be managed. Hiding them is how companies die in diligence.
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.
