Dapple Mere — 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.
Closed on this board. Any capital event was completed with the issuer’s own providers. RCA Pad took 0%.
Closed. The live conversation is over. The pack remains as archive.
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
A tokenised policy sold to a crowd is a different, usually illegal, company.
Why the desk took it
US surplus-lines posture was flagged as a counsel question. Correct.
Traction
Founded 2025, headquartered in Johannesburg. 4 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 5,954 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 24 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 72/100. A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Next 12 months
Guidewire is the system of record. This is the slip between markets. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
The brief
Johannesburg is not a backdrop. It is the jurisdiction where a named customer can be sued, called, and asked a question on a recorded line. Dapple Mere chose it for that reason. Counterparties who still think this is a ‘global’ story are already late.
Read this as an operating company, not a round. Counsel has a posture: Johannesburg · closed private round. Restricted markets stay dark. RCA Pad takes 0% if they ever raise. That combination is why inbound did not need a ticker.
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 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 the pilot
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
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
Founders who want a pack this tight apply. Readers who wait get a closed stamp.
Restricted markets stay dark. Named markets are live. That discipline is the scarce thing.
If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.

The bet
A tokenised policy sold to a crowd is a different, usually illegal, company.
A tokenised policy sold to a crowd is a different, usually illegal, company.
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
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.
Named: Johannesburg, United Kingdom. Off-limits: Global public, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Johannesburg. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.
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
31%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.
Claims & campaign ops
27%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Certifications & adapters
21%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Counsel & perimeter

A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.

Counsel on whether the record is a regulated contract.
No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.

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.
If Dapple Mere looks like it is taking risk, it needs a licence. The file says it does not. Keep it that way.
If counsel will not name a path and not-offering is not locked, heated waitlist copy is an accidental offering.

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 Markets. Contractors in undisclosed jurisdictions are written down as a fact, not hidden. Facts can be managed. Hiding them is how companies die in diligence.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
