# Welcome in Root Finance

## Overview

Root is a decentralized Lending &  Borrowing protocol operating on the Radix DLT, where lenders and borrowers interact within an overcollateralized market environment. \
It's a non-custodial liquidity protocol enabling users to participate either as depositors or borrowers. \
\
Depositors can earn passive income by providing liquidity to the market, whereas borrowers can obtain funds in an overcollateralized manner.<br>
