The wedge
Producer seat
The wedge is double-counting: corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought.
EMBQ
A named Taipei buyer is on the record. You are still reading the public page.
If this pad disappeared tomorrow, the customer could still run the job. That is why they are here.
Ember Holt — A ledger of energy certificates (GOs, RECs) for producers and offtakers who already sit in a national registry. It moves the event faster. It does not invent a green token for Twitter.
Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.
Closed stamp is coming. a few days is the number. There is not a second number.
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 double-counting: corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought.
Why the desk took it
They did not lead with climate Twitter.
Traction
Founded 2024, headquartered in Taipei. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 69/100. A transfer agent willing to consume a revoke in production. They killed their own ‘token as fee’ sentence before we asked. Rare, and it scored.
Next 12 months
Xpansiv is a market. This is the event under a registry. Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
The brief
You can wait for a sticker. The named customer did not. They are writing into this record while the rest of the market argues about a comment period.
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 Ember Holt. The architecture says so. We have not watched the drill live. That is the next ask, not a slogan.
From counsel
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Ember Holt does not attest to its own facts.
From the pilot
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From the founder
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
Miss a few days and you are explaining to your IC why you read it after it closed.
The comment period is not a path. This company is priced as if that is already true.
If you are a founder who wants a pack like this: apply. If you are a buyer: call them — not us.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
US came off the site in the first session. We did not argue. We are not children.

The bet
The wedge is double-counting: corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought.
The wedge is double-counting: corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought.
Corporate offtakers are being asked to prove what they bought. Registries lag. A dual record that the registry still owns is sellable.
GO and REC markets are measured in tens of billions. Ops software is a thin slice with high switching costs.
Versus the field
The incumbent brand sells the relationship. Ember Holt 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.
Named: Taipei, United Kingdom. Off-limits: EU retail. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Taipei. 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.
Second market
29%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Control environment
28%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.
Counsel & perimeter
18%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Named operators
25%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
Still dual-record with the registry.
They killed their own ‘token as fee’ sentence before we asked. Rare, and it scored.
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
Extending the record into a market that is still restricted is how a clean Taipei story becomes a fact pattern. The restricted list exists for a reason: EU retail.
If the registry and this ledger can both be sold, the product is a liability.
A freely traded climate token is usually a commodity or a security. This pad will not sell it.
Without the registry, this is a shadow certificate.
GO rules move. The product has to move with them, not ahead of them.
If the registry and this ledger can both be sold, Ember Holt is a liability. Dual-record or nothing.
A later round that wants a public token puts Ember Holt 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.
Team
Stack
Who can decide
Hannah Krüger came in named. The team is not a handle. Ember Holt Ltd exists, founded 2024, headquartered in Taipei. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
