Maple Rail — An attestation graph: a fund or investor proves one fact (accredited, name, share-class) to a transfer agent or administrator without handing over the whole file. Selective disclosure is the 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.

Why the desk took it
Early — still a question.
They named the attester. Most decks do not.
Traction
No paying pilot on the public file.
Founded 2021, headquartered in Hong Kong. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 1 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 63/100. A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
Liability sentence in writing: who is wrong when a fact is wrong.
Jumio does not speak share-class. Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
The brief
How a serious reader should hold this.
The first sentence Priya Berg would not let us publish was the exciting one. What remains is slower — and scarcer: Maple Rail Ltd selling Selective disclosure as software, from Hong Kong, to a buyer who already pays someone else to do this badly. That buyer is named. You are not, yet.
The bet is narrow. A named Hong Kong buyer already has budget for this invoice. Maple Rail wins if it is cheaper than the internal build and cleaner than the protocol pitch. It loses if a founder later wants a public book. The window is the time you have to decide which it is.
On a Tuesday in Hong Kong, an exception posts back into the customer’s existing case system. Nobody opens a side spreadsheet. That is the product: the night someone in ops does not stay late.
From ops
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Maple Rail 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.
From the pilot
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 this and you read the archive.
The decline pile in Selective disclosure is full of companies that looked the same on slide one. This one is listed.
a short list people did not join a waitlist for a ticker. They joined for a job.
Open the diligence or watch it close. There is not a third option that still counts as early.

The bet
Why this company exists.
Maple Rail sells a cost cut in onboarding, not an identity coin.
Maple Rail sells a cost cut in onboarding, not an identity coin.
Transfer agents and AIFMs are being asked for faster onboarding without becoming identity companies. Attestations they can revoke are the compromise.
Fund onboarding cost is a known line item. A 20–40% cut in cycle time is a budget, not a vision deck.
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.
Named: Hong Kong. Off-limits: Mainland China retail, United States. A US person hearing an offering communication is a US problem even if the company sits in Hong Kong. Blocking an IP and taking a US Telegram admin is not a block.
How it works
- 01A fact is attested by a party the recipient already trusts
- 02The holder discloses only the field requested
- 03The rest of the file stays dark
- 04Revocation is a first-class event
- 05The recipient never sees the rest of the file — selective disclosure is enforced, not promised
- 06The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian.

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
36%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Counsel & perimeter
18%
Hiring the operator who already does this job at a licensed firm.

Operating week
What “in market” actually looks like.
- MonClaimsEvery public sentence checked against the register. Anything extra is unpublished.
- TueExceptionsOvernight breaks post back into the customer’s case system. No side book.
- FriKill switchRehearse unpublish in 24 hours. If it takes a committee, it is not a switch.
- WedCounselPerimeter diffs. If the site drifted from the memo, the site moves — not the memo.
The wedge
Why this one, not the other one.

- Who pays
- A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk.
- Unit economics
- Bps on a job that already has a budget line. A public coin would not make the invoice larger.
- Moat on file
- Revoke has been tested against a live register.
- Switching cost
- Scheme maps, ISO, LMA language, registry adapters — eighteen months of unglamorous work.
- Vs the comps
- Jumio does not speak share-class.
- Why we listed it
- They named the attester. Most decks do not.
Next twelve months
What has to be true.
Liability sentence in writing: who is wrong when a fact is wrong.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
A round, if any, sits with their providers. This pad does not take the order.

What you can verify today.
Founded 2021, headquartered in Hong Kong. No named paying pilot on the file yet — that is the first question. 1 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 63/100. A treasurer at a bank that already settles — not a crypto-native desk. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
- Architecture paper — no production customer on the public file
- No token contract listed as a public sale
- Named founder; customer still a conversation
- Hong Kong 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
The founder wants a public book
The moment Maple Rail asks this pad to allocate, sell, or complete funding, the listing ends. That is not a moral project. It is how a services firm stays a services firm.
Who attests
If the attester is the company itself, this is a database with extra steps.
Portability theatre
A graph nobody else reads is a PDF with a hash.
US
US retail identity products are a different statute. Many of these files keep the US off.
Utility token
Paying for attestations in a native token is usually a securities problem in costume.
Self-attestation
If Maple Rail is the attester, this is a database with extra steps. The graph only matters if someone else signs.
Path silence
If counsel will not name a path and not-offering is not locked, heated waitlist copy is an accidental offering.
Ask these next
- 01Is the waitlist demand for a product, or a queue for a coin?
- 02Has counsel written the perimeter in a memo you can file?
- 03If RCA Pad disappeared tomorrow, could the customer still run the job?
- 04Where do keys, title, or NAV liability sit — and is that person licensed?
- 05Who can unpublish a public sentence in 24 hours, by name?
- 06Who is the first named paying customer — not a letter of intent?

Who can decide
Priya Berg came in named. The team is not a handle. Maple Rail Ltd exists, founded 2021, headquartered in Hong Kong. Anonymity would have been an automatic decline.
If the first customer renews, the adapter work pays for itself. If they do not, Maple Rail is a services firm with a slide. The twelve-month test is renewal, not waitlist.
