The wedge
Per packet
The wedge is island chains: every extra permissioned deployment is an integration budget.
VET4
Certification is in motion. After it lands, access is the scarce thing — not price.
Pilots are named and redacted. The waitlist is not. 9,498 people already asked.
Vetch Stack — 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. 9,498 on the product waitlist — that is demand, not an allocation.
Heat 88 of 99. Hot windows do not stay hot. They close.
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 2022, headquartered in Madrid. 5 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 9,498 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 19 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 89/100. A coverholder or carrier running one binder on this record. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Next 12 months
A wrapped asset inside the packet makes this a bridge. It must not. They win if they are cheaper than the internal build, not cheaper than a protocol.
The brief
The decline pile in Permissioned interop is not a rumour. It is how this board stays readable. Vetch Stack is what survived. That is the sell.
The bet is narrow. A named Madrid buyer already has budget for this invoice. Vetch Stack 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 Madrid, 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 the screen
The legal source of truth stays with the incumbent register, admin, or custodian. Vetch Stack does not attest to its own facts.
From ops
Fixed fee. Deposit to start. 0% of proceeds. Token-only pay is declined. Percentage of raise is declined.
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.
The window
The decline pile in Permissioned interop is full of companies that looked the same on slide one. This one is listed.
Budget exists on a line the board can see. That is why the window is this quarter.
Read it once, properly, while the number is still green. Then decide.
Window
Closed
Closed. History only — not a place to buy.
The waitlist is people who want the product. If they wanted a coin they would be on a different pad.

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
L2 wrappers are cheaper. They are also a different perimeter — and declined here. Vetch Stack is priced as software against an invoice that already exists.
The live path is Madrid · counsel-named. Proposed Regulation Crypto Assets is not treated as a calendar slot. Build as if it never opens.
How it works

If they raise
Not a token float. A budget against work. RCA Pad still takes 0% of proceeds.
Claims & campaign ops
39%
A counsel memo that can survive a later reader.
Named operators
23%
The remaining certifications and the second named market.
Counsel & perimeter
19%
Keeping the public story from running ahead of the claims register.

19%
Dual-control drills, key ceremonies, and the person who owns them.
Operating week
The wedge
Next twelve months
A verifier a third party has actually run.
Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
Growth money would extend the record to a second geography, still permissioned.
Traction
Founded 2022, headquartered in Madrid. 5 named pilots on file (identities redacted in public). 9,498 on the waitlist, gated — product demand, not a book built. 19 nodes or connected surfaces reported. Desk diligence score 89/100. A coverholder or carrier running one binder on this record. Counsel is named, even if the memo is still a draft. Unnamed counsel is how files die.
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 Madrid story becomes a fact pattern. The restricted list exists for a reason: United States retail, United States.
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, Vetch Stack inherits every bridge post-mortem. Kill that design.
The administrator, CCP, scheme or custodian can ship this as a checkbox. Vetch Stack 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.

Who can decide
Hannah Cole (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.
If the first customer renews, the adapter work pays for itself. If they do not, Vetch Stack is a services firm with a slide. The twelve-month test is renewal, not waitlist.

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. Founders who want a pack like this one apply. Readers who want the company talk to the company — not to this pad.
