Ropefiasco is the parent laboratory for two distinct verticals: ACE (Institutional Finance) and RFSC (Apparel). We exist to bridge the gap between cultural velocity and financial rigor.
Our flagship initiative, ACE (Athlete Capital Exchange), is a regulated protocol designed to tokenize and factor athlete income streams. We do not merely "lend"; we acquire high-grade receivables, allowing athletes to extract value today to accelerate their human capital development.
This financial architecture is balanced by our creative output—a minimalist apparel line that serves as the physical "Proof of Culture" for our community.
Founded by a former Division I athlete with a background in Wealth Management and Commercial Credit, Ropefiasco transforms the volatile potential of sports into a secured, predictable asset class.
The Thesis: Student-athlete contracts are high-value receivables trapped in an illiquid market. ACE provides the infrastructure to factor these contracts, turning future cash flows into immediate working capital for the athlete.
The Economics of Acceleration: Our yield is not inflationary. It is derived from the discount rate applied to these receivables. Investors capture the "liquidity premium" by providing capital when it is most valuable—today.

Value-Extraction & Acceleration Protocol
Version 3.3 | Institutional Draft
The asset class of "Human Capital" in sports has historically been illiquid. ACE creates a standardized protocol to factor and tokenize these future income streams. By shifting from a lending model to a receivables factoring model, we create a secured asset class that offers predictable yield to investors while providing acceleration capital to athletes.
Tokenized Athlete Income Streams (TAIS) represent a legal claim on future contract revenue. ACE utilizes a "Notice of Assignment" framework where the Payer (Brand/Collective) directs funds to the Protocol's Smart Contract, not the athlete. This creates a "closed-loop" payment system.
Split-Tranche Trusts: To balance immediate needs with long-term wealth, ACE splits capital into Tranche A (Acceleration - 60%) for immediate use and Tranche B (Preservation - 40%) locked in a yield-bearing trust until graduation.
4.1 Legal Assignment: We do not rely solely on code. We utilize tri-party agreements to secure the income stream at the source.
4.2 Insurance Wrappers: Yield reserves fund an Insurance Pool to protect principal against "Force Majeure" events (injury/cancellation).
4.3 Compliance: All liquidity providers undergo KYC/AML. The protocol is built to interface with traditional banking rails for fiat settlement.
4.4 Institutional Licensing: Smart contracts automatically route licensing royalties to Universities for IP usage, adhering to standard IP commercialization practices.
ACE is the bridge between the efficiency of DeFi and the legal rigor of structured finance. We are building the Nasdaq for Human Potential.
