GLEMO - Partner Fallback / Regulated Rails Plan
Purpose: show that the current bank partner accelerates the first implementation but does not define the business. Glemo owns the operating layer. Regulated partners provide replaceable rails.
Core Position
The bank partner is an accelerator, not a single point of failure.
Glemo should position the RWA layer as partner-agnostic infrastructure. The initial bank relationship can help validate the first deployment, but the system should support alternative regulated providers.
Provider Categories
| Provider Type | Role | Priority | Status | Evidence Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital bank / fintech | Accounts, payment rails, distribution, KYC support | High | Current anchor + alternatives needed | LOI, scope, technical terms |
| Custodian / trustee | Custody or representation support | High | To source | Licensing review, term sheet |
| FIDC / securitization partner | Brazil regulated structure | High | To source | Mandate letter, legal fit |
| KYC/geofencing vendor | User eligibility and jurisdiction controls | High | To source | Vendor quote, policy fit |
| Market maker | Token market depth and launch support | Medium-high | To source | Terms, track record |
| DEX/CEX partners | Listing and liquidity venues | Medium | In progress / to confirm | Relationship status, criteria |
| Legal counsel | BVI / US / Brazil memo | High | To confirm | Engagement letter |
Bank Exit Scenarios
| Scenario | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Bank delays pilot | RWA launch shifts by 3-6 months | Launch AI Agent, brokerage, marketplace, token governance first |
| Bank exits | RWA layer must switch provider | Use custodian/trustee/FIDC/securitization/payment alternatives |
| Bank limits jurisdiction | RWA access narrower than expected | KYC/geofenced launch and jurisdiction matrix |
| Bank cannot support token-related flow | Token and RWA remain economically separated | Token remains utility/incentive layer only |
Diligence-Ready Message
Glemo owns demand, workflow, data, product, token governance, and reporting. Regulated rails can be provided by a bank, custodian, trustee, FIDC/securitization partner, KYC/geofencing vendor, or payment provider. The first bank partner accelerates the path, but the architecture is multi-provider by design.
