Board
IVOZ
Screened
SCREENEDInsurance bindersIvory North
Budget exists on a board line. This is this quarter, not ‘when the rule opens’.
Seats of attention are not infinite. 3 counterparties are in the live thread. You are not — yet.
Ivory North — 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.
Screened, not yet in sprint. Treat every number as provisional. Calendar access is not automatic.
The named customer already picked. The waitlist is everyone who was late to that fact.
Diligence, not a prospectus. RCA Pad does not allocate, take orders, or close funding. If this company raises, it raises with its own counsel.

Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
No policy-as-token in the revenue model.
Traction
No paying pilot on the public file.
Founded 2026, headquartered in Barcelona. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 2 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 71/100. Four origination desks posting into a closed tape. No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
Next 12 months
One live binder a carrier will show their auditor.
Excel bordereaux are the incumbent. Beat that. Seat plus event. If they ever attach a token as the unit of account, the file stops.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
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.
Ivory North exists because the incumbent brand will not staff the unglamorous middle of Insurance binders. The product is that middle. The token, if it ever exists, is not the product — and is not for sale here. The people in the queue already understood the difference.
US traffic was taken off the public surfaces in the first working session. Ivory North did not argue. Adult companies do not costume a US offering.
From counsel
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
From the screen
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Ivory North does not attest to its own facts.
From the pilot
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
The window
Miss this and you read the archive.
Skip it and you read the archive. Counterparties who matter will have already asked.
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 bordereaux: still email, still late, still wrong.
The wedge is bordereaux: still email, still late, still wrong.
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
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Ivory North 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
- 01Members post positions they already hold
- 02The engine nets what the rulebook allows
- 03Only the residual hits the existing settlement rail
- 04Collateral as a token is an exclusion on this file
- 05Claim and premium events update the same slip the markets already signed
- 06Exceptions post back into the customer’s existing case system — no side spreadsheet.

- LCH / Eurex (incumbent CCPs)

- Not a DeFi clearinghouse
If they raise
Where the money would actually go.
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Control environment
39%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Named operators
23%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Second market
14%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Certifications & adapters
24%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- SatDarkNo creators. No threads. Restricted geos stay dark.
- SunOwnersWho can decide messaging and budget on a recorded line. If the answer is nobody, stop.
- 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.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.
- They sell
- Per binder
- Who pays
- Four origination desks posting into a closed tape.
- Unit economics
- Seat plus event. If they ever attach a token as the unit of account, the file stops.
- Moat on file
- Lloyd’s-adjacent process knowledge — not a generic ledger.
- Switching cost
- Scheme maps, ISO, LMA language, registry adapters — eighteen months of unglamorous work.
- Vs the comps
- Excel bordereaux are the incumbent. Beat that.
- Why we listed it
- No policy-as-token in the revenue model.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
One live binder a carrier will show their auditor.
No public APY, no public book, no ‘how to buy’ on any surface we could find.
A round, if any, sits with their providers. This pad does not take the order.

- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Named founder; customer still a conversation
- Barcelona is the operating centre
- The waitlist, if any, is a product list — not a book
- RCA Pad does not take a cut of proceeds

Risks
What can kill it.
The one that actually kills it
Counsel is a slide
Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Not offering — locked has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.
CCP perimeter
If a regulator reads this as clearing, the licence problem is existential.
Collateral token
That ask has been refused on files like this. It should stay refused.
Member default
Who eats the loss? If the answer is ‘the protocol’, there is no protocol that can.
Incumbent freeze-out
CCPs can copy the netting logic faster than a startup can collect members.
Not a carrier
If Ivory North looks like it is taking risk, it needs a licence. The file says it does not. Keep it that way.
Incumbent feature
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Ivory North has to be cheaper or faster before that happens.
Ask these next
- 01Which geography is actually locked, and which is a hope?
- 02Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?
- 03Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
- 04What happens if a founder later wants a public token?
- 05If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
- 06Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?

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.
