Dapple North

Heat 64. 84 asks this week. 0% of any raise comes here.

The first buyer already has a vendor. Dapple North is taking that invoice. The queue is 2,711 deep.

Dapple North — A routing layer in front of payment firms that already hold licences. One API picks the rail (SEPA, cards, local schemes) and can present a wallet-like checkout. The wallet is the interface. It is not a coin.

Live campaign. 2,711 on the product waitlist — that is demand, not an allocation.

Heat 64 of 99. Hot windows do not stay hot. They close.

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

Per-transaction routing fee

The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.

Why the desk took it

A real job, not a ticker.

The AA layer is on testnet and they said so — no mainnet theatre.

Traction

2 named pilots (redacted).

Founded 2021, headquartered in Amsterdam. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 2,711 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 15 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 89/100. Two licensed PSPs on a paid pilot — identities off the public file. A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.

Next 12 months

Counsel memo on the AA perimeter, or the UX layer stays dark.

Modulr and Lemonway sell the account. Dapple North sells the router in front of accounts they already have. Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.

The brief

How a serious reader should hold this.

Someone in Amsterdam already renewed a slower vendor this year. Dapple North is the conversation that happens before they do it again. Miss this cycle and you explain the next one.

What you can verify today is smaller than the slide. What you cannot verify is named as a question, not a promise. That is the difference between this company and a pad listing — and why the waitlist is not a coin queue.

A dual-control drill sits on paper. Keys, title, or NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Dapple North. The architecture says so. We have not watched the drill live. That is the next ask, not a slogan.

From the founder

The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Dapple North does not attest to its own facts.

From ops

We will not describe this as Reg CA-compliant, MiCA-stickered, or FCA-authorised. Issuers retain their own counsel in every relevant jurisdiction.

From the pilot

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

Miss this and you read the archive.

The decline pile in Payroll rails 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.

Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.

The bet

Why this company exists.

The wedge is scheme sprawl: every new local rail is a new integration the PSP does not want to own.

MiCA is forcing PSPs to choose a perimeter. Houses that will not become CASPs still need programmable checkout. The ones that pick software over a coin will buy this. The ones that want a token will be declined here.

PSP orchestration in Europe is a multi-billion software market. Buyers already pay for routing. A token would not make the invoice larger; it would make the licence harder.

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: Netherlands, EEA professional, United Kingdom. Off-limits: United States retail, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Amsterdam. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.

How it works

01Payer or merchant hits a single checkout API
02The router selects a licensed rail the PSP already runs
03Account-abstraction is an optional UX layer (currently testnet)
04Settlement lands in the PSP’s existing accounts — no new token
05Exceptions (chargebacks, scheme rejects) post back into the PSP’s existing case system
06Kill of a public sentence is an hour, not a committee.

Operating week

What “in market” actually looks like.

MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.

The wedge

Why this one, not the other one.

They sell: Per-transaction routing fee
Who pays: Two licensed PSPs on a paid pilot — identities off the public file.
Unit economics: Annual software against an ops cost the board can see. Switching cost is the record, not the brand.
Moat on file: A design-partner PSP that will not talk to a second vendor this year.
Switching cost: Permissioned connectivity is the moat. Public endpoints would erase it.
Vs the comps: Modulr and Lemonway sell the account. Dapple North sells the router in front of accounts they already have.
Why we listed it: The AA layer is on testnet and they said so — no mainnet theatre.

Next twelve months

What has to be true.

Counsel memo on the AA perimeter, or the UX layer stays dark.

A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.

They have not asked us to run a sale. That ask would close the file.

Risks

What can kill it.

The one that actually kills it

The named customer is a letter of intent

Pilots that cannot be named, even redacted, are theatre. One paying seat that an auditor has seen is worth more than a waitlist of 2,711.

Token temptation

If the wallet layer is ever described as a means of payment, the product becomes an e-money or CASP problem. This file treats that as a hard stop.

Perimeter

A supervisor can still read account-abstraction as issuing. Until counsel names the path, treat the AA layer as a lab.

Customer concentration

A handful of PSP design partners can stall the company if they slip. Ask who is paying, not who is ‘interested’.

United States

The US is out of scope on this file. That is deliberate. It also caps the TAM.

Scheme freeze

A card scheme can kill the router without talking to Dapple North. Concentration in one scheme is existential.

Single-customer gravity

If the first named buyer is also the only buyer, Dapple North is a services shop with a ledger. Ask for the second.

Ask these next

01Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
02What does renewal look like if no round ever happens?
03If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
04Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?
05Which incumbent can copy this in a quarter, and what would they have to migrate?
06What happens if a founder later wants a public token?

Structure

How money would actually move.

If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel and providers. The waitlist is a product list. It is not a round, a book, or an allocation on RCA Pad. We do not take a cut.

Who can decide

The technical founder is on the record as Chief technology. 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.
