The wedge
Chain seat
The wedge is island chains: every extra permissioned deployment is an integration budget.
IVOT
The incumbent copy takes a year. The named customer is already writing.
Heat 57. Window a fewd. If you are going to read one Permissioned interop company, this is the one.
Ivory Dock — Attestation packets and IBC-style messages between chains that are not public. Banks and funds that already live behind a firewall use this to talk to each other without opening a public bridge.
Live campaign. 1,519 on the product waitlist — that is demand, not an allocation.
A year from now this will be an obvious company or a missed one. The window decides which.
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 island chains: every extra permissioned deployment is an integration budget.
Why the desk took it
Security review of the verifier is on file, even if draft.
Traction
Founded 2021, headquartered in Dublin. 2 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 1,519 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 23 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 84/100. An AIFM whose auditor has seen the dual-record. Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Ivory Dock.
Next 12 months
R3 network maps are political. This is a packet. They sell a fee the customer already pays a slower vendor for. TAM is that invoice, not a token float.
The brief
Most Permissioned interop 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 Ivory Dock is the version that survives counsel. It is on a clock.
US traffic was taken off the public surfaces in the first working session. Ivory Dock did not argue. Adult companies do not costume a US offering.
From the pilot
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
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.
From ops
US persons are outside the audience. A form that asks “are you accredited?” without verification is not an exemption.
The window
You can read twelve thinner companies. Or this one, once, while the window is open.
Certification is in motion. After it lands, the price of the seat is not the question — access is.
Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
We did not come here to sell a token. We came here so a named customer could read a pack that survives counsel.

Services firms hide in ‘platform’ language. Ivory Dock sells a seat plus an event. Named.

The bet
The wedge is island chains: every extra permissioned deployment is an integration budget.
The wedge is island chains: every extra permissioned deployment is an integration budget.
Every permissioned chain is an island. The second chain a bank turns on creates the ticket. The third creates the vendor.
Every extra permissioned deployment is a new integration budget. This product is that budget.
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.
Dublin 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
In the same conversation as
If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Certifications & adapters
34%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.
Claims & campaign ops
22%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Counsel & perimeter
17%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Named operators
27%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.

A verifier a third party has actually run.
Architecture says keys / title / NAV liability sit with a named licensed party — not Ivory Dock.
A round, if any, sits with their providers. This pad does not take the order.

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 Dublin story becomes a fact pattern. The restricted list exists for a reason: Public residual claims.
If value moves as a wrapped asset, this is a bridge. Bridges have a history.
A packet nobody independently checks is email.
One public endpoint and the threat model is gone.
If a bigger FMI publishes the same packet, this is a feature, not a company.
If value moves as a wrapped asset, Ivory Dock inherits every bridge post-mortem. Kill that design.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Ivory Dock has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.

Structure
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.
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
Kofi Vogel came in named. The team is not a handle. Ivory Dock DAC exists, founded 2021, headquartered in Dublin. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
If the first customer renews, the adapter work pays for itself. If they do not, Ivory Dock is a services firm with a slide. The twelve-month test is renewal, not waitlist.
