Roots

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

Calculates TVL as the sum of all collateral in Troves (using getEntireSystemColl). Separately tracks borrowed amounts from each Trove (using getEntireSystemDebt) denominated in MEAD.

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

Roots's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of 49,8 k $US based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The market is pricing the token (49,8 k $US) above the protocol's on-chain TVL (27,9 k $US) — a mcap/TVL multiple of 1.78× implies investors are paying for expected future fee flows rather than current deposits alone.

Market cap and supply figures are sourced from DeFiLlama's price feed (which reconciles CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and on-chain DEX prices). Treasury and staking values reflect on-chain balances controlled by the protocol at last sync.

Roots is a CDP 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 Berachain. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Roots is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Berachain — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Pyth); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Its token market cap (49,8 k $US) currently exceeds total value locked (27,9 k $US) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 1.78 suggests the market is pricing in more growth than current deposits support.

Roots is one of 7 CDP protocols Mantapex tracks in this category. Direct peers ranked by total value locked include Sky Lending, USDD, Lista CDP, and 3 more. These peer protocols collectively secure 9,2 Md $US in deposits, giving you a frame of reference for whether Roots's own TVL is at the top, middle, or tail of the category.
