Protocol Profile
Root Finance is a Lending protocol that lets users supply assets as collateral, borrow against them, and earn interest from borrowers paying variable or stable rates. It is deployed on Radix.
TVL Distribution by Chain
TVL spans 3 chains across the deployment. See the breakdown below for per-chain values.
Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Root Finance is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Radix — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Radix-borrowed, borrowed, Radix), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
