The wedge
Producer seat
Larch Book shortens retirement, it does not invent a tonne.
LARE
The incumbent copy takes a year. The named customer is already writing.
Renewal — not the round — is the twelve-month test. The people in this queue already know that.
Larch Book — 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.
They unpublish in an hour. They will not wait for your committee to finish reading.
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
Larch Book shortens retirement, it does not invent a tonne.
Why the desk took it
They did not lead with climate Twitter.
Traction
Founded 2026, headquartered in Barcelona. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). Desk diligence score 56/100. A warehouse or port that has written a live event. A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.
Next 12 months
A public carbon coin is a commodity or a security. This pad will not sell it. Per-event pricing so a pilot can start without a transformation programme.
The brief
In Barcelona, the person who signs the monthly pack already has a vendor. Larch Book is not asking them to believe in a token. It is asking them to move one job — the one that currently lives in a spreadsheet, a fax, or a person who is about to retire — onto a record that can be shown to counsel. The queue to read that record is already not empty.
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 founder
A dual-control drill exists on paper. Production evidence is the next artefact, not a tweet.
From ops
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
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
The window
Skip it and you read the archive. Counterparties who matter will have already asked.
A supervisor is already forcing a perimeter. Houses that pick software over a coin will buy this now.
The scarce thing is not the company. It is the next a few days of a live conversation.

Closed. History only — not a place to buy.

Larch Book
A L2 wrapper is cheaper. It is also a different perimeter — and declined here.

The bet
Larch Book shortens retirement, it does not invent a tonne.
Larch Book shortens retirement, it does not invent a tonne.
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
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Larch Book is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
The live path is Undetermined — not a path. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.
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
35%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Certifications & adapters
26%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Counsel & perimeter
14%
Adapter work against the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.
Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
One retirement an offtaker will show their auditor.
A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.
Growth money would extend the record to a second geography, still permissioned.
Traction
Founded 2026, headquartered in Barcelona. One named pilot on file (redacted in public). Desk diligence score 56/100. A warehouse or port that has written a live event. A redacted engagement letter landed in week one. That is why the desk took the meeting.
Readiness
Six things a serious buyer asks. 100 is “ready to take to counsel and a customer.”
Risks
The one that actually kills it
Unnamed counsel is how companies die in diligence. Undetermined — not a path has to be a memo you can file, not a slogan on the hero.
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, Larch Book is a liability. Dual-record or nothing.
A proof of a fake book is still a fake book. Larch Book has to attach to the real one, in Barcelona.

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.

Who can decide
Sasha Okafor (Chief executive) will take a 30-minute call and decide budget. If the only person who can accept “we are not opening a sale” is a silent co-founder in another time zone, this company would not be on the board.
A second counterparty writing into the record is the only network effect that counts. One customer is a consultancy. Two is a market.
