Counsel is live. The waitlist is a short list. The public sale is not.
Kofi Khan will not run a public sale on this pad. The listing exists because of that sentence.
Dapple Fen — 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.
Most Credit covenants applications this quarter were declined. You are looking at one that was not.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
A redacted facility list landed in week one.
Traction
One named pilot (redacted).
Founded 2026, headquartered in Tel Aviv. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 4 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
One administrator consuming marks daily.
eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
Most Credit covenants decks start with a market size. This one starts with a job: a person at a licensed firm, a record they cannot currently prove, and a calendar that does not wait for a proposed US rule. The calendar is the window. The window is the scarce thing.
If you leave this page without opening the claims table, you have read marketing. The scarce version of Dapple Fen is the version that survives counsel. It is on a clock.
The auditor of a redacted pilot has seen a dual-record. Switching away now means a new auditor conversation. That is the switching cost — not the logo.
From counsel
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From the screen
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Dapple Fen does not attest to its own facts.
From the founder
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
The decline pile in Credit covenants is full of companies that looked the same on slide one. This one is listed.
Restricted markets stay dark. Named markets are live. That discipline is the scarce thing.
Open the diligence or watch it close. There is not a third option that still counts as early.

The bet
Why this company exists.
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.
They sell a faster close to administrators, not access to a crowd.
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.
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
- 01A loan or covenant event is written once
- 02Permissioned counterparties see what they are allowed to see
- 03Marks and RFQs stay inside named desks
- 04No public order book, no retail
- 05Default and amendment events are first-class, not a PDF in a side channel
- 06Retail and unnamed geographies are structurally off the form, not only in the footer.

If they raise
Where the money would actually go.
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Second market
31%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Claims & campaign ops
21%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Named operators
19%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Certifications & adapters
29%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.
Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
- SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
- ThuCustomerNamed pilot (redacted) sees the same record the auditor saw.
- WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell
- Bps on facilities on the tape
- Who pays
- A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk.
- Unit economics
- Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
- Moat on file
- Covenant language mapped to the LMA set — not a custom dialect.
- Switching cost
- The customer’s auditor has seen this book. Switching means a new auditor conversation.
- Vs the comps
- eFront and Allvue are funds’ books. This is the tape between funds.
- Why we listed it
- A redacted facility list landed in week one.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
One administrator consuming marks daily.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
If they raise, it is to hire the remaining certifications and the second market — not to float a coin.
Traction
What you can verify today.
Founded 2026, headquartered in Tel Aviv. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 4 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 79/100. A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Pilot letters on file, identities redacted
- Tel Aviv is the operating centre
- The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
- RCA Pad does not take a cut of proceeds

Risks
What can kill it.
The one that actually kills it
A second geography without a lock
Extending the record into a market that is still restricted is how a clean Tel Aviv story becomes a fact pattern. The restricted list exists for a reason: Mainland China retail, United States.
Marketplace slip
The moment this looks like a public book, it is a venue. This pad will not list that.
Data rights
Who owns the tape when a fund leaves? If that is unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
Credit cycle
A default cluster will test whether the product is a record or a reputation.
Retail
Retail is prohibited. Any ‘access token’ story is a different company.
Data rights on exit
If a fund leaves and the tape stays, who owns the history? Unsigned, the enterprise value is a conversation.
Token relapse
A later round that wants a public token puts Dapple Fen in a different perimeter. The file treats that as a hard stop.
Ask these next
- 01What happens if a founder later wants a public token?
- 02What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
- 03Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
- 04Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
- 05Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?
- 06Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
Structure

Who can decide
Kofi Khan (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.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
