RootProject is a decentralized ecosystem for nonprofits. ROOTS tokens create an economic logic within the ecosystem that powerfully incentivizes collaboration, participation, and sharing of costly information. A crowdfunding platform provides participants with a common forum to involve the public and one another, building economies of scale, while the token model allows the platform to dramatically out price-compete traditional crowdfunding platforms.

Within the ecosystem, RootProject operates its own on-the-ground nonprofit that strengthens the online network. The nonprofit is scalable only because of decentralized elements in the RootProject ecosystem. ROOTS tokens align the interests of token holders and society’s most vulnerable by correlating demand for the token with institutional size and efficacy.
