Leverage

Leverage allows you to open a position larger than your margin balance. Atomic supports leverage from 1x up to 20x on all available assets.

How it works

When you apply leverage, the protocol borrows the additional capital from the lending pool on your behalf. For example, with a $100 USDC margin at 10x leverage, you open a $1,000 position. The borrowed $900 is sourced from lenders and repaid when you close the position.

Liquidation risk

The higher the leverage, the closer the liquidation price is to your entry price. A small adverse price movement can liquidate a highly leveraged position. Always review the liquidation price shown in the order panel before confirming.
