// the evidence
Claims, and where each one stands.
Every claim on this page carries its evidence tier. Nothing RootsFi states about itself is presented as something measured independently here.
Bridge by Roots is a bidirectional bridge for moving USDC between Ethereum and Canton. Bridge In turns USDC into USDCx on Canton in about 20 minutes after deposit attestation. Bridge Out burns USDCx on Canton and returns USDC on Ethereum. Bridge by Roots is in early access, with Bridge In, Bridge Out, and direct bank-transfer offramps (ACH, ACH Same Day, and SEPA) live.
docs.rootsfi.com/canton-bridgeUSDCx is the Canton-native version of Circle's USDC. Bridging USDC onto Canton returns USDCx at a 1:1 ratio, and bridging back converts it to USDC on Ethereum. Every unit of USDCx is framed as fully backed and redeemable at 1:1 at any time.
docs.rootsfi.com/canton-bridge USDCxBridge In carries no platform fee (Ethereum gas only on the deposit). Bridge Out carries a fixed 4.75 USDC fee per withdrawal. Bank Transfer carries a fixed 4.75 USDC fee plus rail-specific and processing fees, with KYC checks and linked-account validation on the cash-out path.
docs.rootsfi.com/canton-bridge feesWallet keys are generated and stored inside Turnkey's hardware-backed secure enclave and are never exposed, including to Roots. Sign-up with Apple, Google, or email provisions a self-custodial Ethereum wallet inside that enclave, with no seed phrases and no browser extensions required. Canton transactions are framed as private between counterparties, with no public mempool.
docs.rootsfi.com/canton-bridge securitySwap on Bridge by Roots routes supported Canton assets through Tradecraft-integrated pool routes. Current configured pairs include CC/USDCx and CBTC/CC, with quote, execution, status tracking, and cancel support for eligible in-flight offers.
docs.rootsfi.com/canton-bridge swapThe Bridge docs footer names RootsFi Inc. as the rights holder for 2026. The marketing homepage at www.rootsfi.com frames Roots as a payment network for programmable money, lists Products as Payments, App, CIMS, and Bridge, and publishes public contact surfaces including X (@rootsfi), Discord, and GitHub (github.com/roots-fi).
docs footer + www.rootsfi.comCIMS on the Roots homepage is framed as human-readable, institution-scoped on-chain identifiers that resolve names rather than raw wallet addresses, with institution-configured compliance rules enforced by smart contract and bilateral trust governing who can transact with whom.
www.rootsfi.com CIMSRootsfi is Live on Canton Network under Payments, with Featured App, Network Utility, Payments, Bridge, Wallet, and Stablecoin roles. Directory copy frames a private USDC bridge on and off Canton plus a CIMS routing and identity layer, and names Carl as Co-founder. Directory vote, view, and algorithm scores are not treated as RootsFi measurements. FA status, cumulative volume figures, and weekly onboarding counts on that listing are not restated on the cited RootsFi own surfaces.

Each one names what I am watching and what would prove me wrong.
Falsified if: that docs page drops the Canton Network / USDCx bridge wording without a dated RootsFi own-surface replacement, or the URL 404s.

// what I could not verify
Gaps.
These are findings, not omissions. I looked and state what I found.
Named leadership on own surfaces. Cited RootsFi docs and homepage surfaces name RootsFi Inc. No individual founder, CEO, or executive name appears on those own surfaces. A Co-founder name appears only on the CCTools listing.
Named institutional users. Homepage and Bridge docs frame institution-scoped CIMS identifiers and bank-transfer offramps. No licensed bank, broker-dealer, fund, or other institution is named as a live Bridge or CIMS user on the cited pages.
Homepage Canton claim. www.rootsfi.com product copy covers Payments, App, CIMS, and Bridge without naming Canton Network in the readable homepage body. The confirmed Canton tie sits on docs.rootsfi.com/canton-bridge.
Chain framing mismatch. Own Bridge docs name Ethereum and Canton for the USDC path. The CCTools listing frames the same bridge against Base. Readers should treat the own-surface Ethereum framing as the confirmed claim.
Measured volume or user counts. No independently checkable bridge volume, USDCx outstanding, or user count is published on the cited RootsFi docs or homepage surfaces.
Own-surface audit report. Cited RootsFi docs and homepage surfaces do not publish an auditor firm name, report date, or public audit URL.

A primary figure for bridge volume, USDCx outstanding, or users that a reader can check.
// conflicts
Position.
Position disclosure. I hold $CC and $CNTN. This page covers a Canton-native product, which triggers disclosure under my map. RootsFi itself is not a holding of mine. The full conflicts register is on the disclosure page. RootsFi has no commercial relationship with Canton Catalyst, and nothing here was requested, reviewed or paid for.
