The wedge
Bps on assets accounted
Hazel Field sells the middle office of custody, not the keys.
HAZV
Budget exists on a board line. This is this quarter, not ‘when the rule opens’.
Marcus Ng will not run a public sale on this pad. The listing exists because of that sentence.
Hazel Field — Accounting and proof layers for vaults that already hold assets for known clients. zk or otherwise, the point is a statement a counterparty can verify — not a public yield product.
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
Hazel Field sells the middle office of custody, not the keys.
Why the desk took it
Keys are not at Hazel Field. Architecture says so.
Traction
Founded 2021, headquartered in Copenhagen. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. Desk diligence score 57/100. An AIFM whose auditor has seen the dual-record. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Next 12 months
Fund admin custody reporting is a PDF. This is the recon. They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.
The brief
Before the waitlist, before the window, there was a refusal. Hazel Field would not let a public sale sit on this page. That is why a company in Qualified custody ops is listed here at all — and why the people who wanted a coin left, and the people who wanted the product stayed.
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.
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 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.
From the screen
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Hazel Field does not attest to its own facts.
From the founder
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
The window
Attention is the scarce asset. 2 asks this week are already spending it.
Certification is in motion. After it lands, the price of the seat is not the question — access is.
We do not allocate. We do not take a cut. We will not hold the window open for you.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
If RCA Pad ever asked for a cut of a raise, we would walk. That is in the first email.

The bet
Hazel Field sells the middle office of custody, not the keys.
Hazel Field sells the middle office of custody, not the keys.
Allocators asked for proof after 2022. Labs answered with demos. The first vault accounting that an auditor will sign is a business.
Middle-office spend at alternative managers is a budget that survived the last cycle.
Versus the field
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Hazel Field is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
The live path is Not offering — locked. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.
How it works

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.
Traction
Founded 2021, headquartered in Copenhagen. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. Desk diligence score 57/100. An AIFM whose auditor has seen the dual-record. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Pilots that cannot be named, even redacted, are theatre. One paying seat that an auditor has seen is worth more than a waitlist of a short list.
If the landing page is APY, this is a different, usually unlicensed, business.
A zk circuit of a fake book is still a fake book.
Who holds the keys? If it is the startup, that is custody.
No auditor, no statement. Demo is not diligence.
One key on a Hazel Field box and the licence problem is immediate. The architecture has to make that impossible.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Hazel Field has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

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
Named with them
Who can decide
Marcus Ng came in named. The team is not a handle. Hazel Field Ltd exists, founded 2021, headquartered in Copenhagen. 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.
