Your perp loss is someone's win. Spot margin has no other side.
Before you open any leveraged trade, ask one question: who's on the other side?
On most venues the answer is uncomfortable. A counterparty, a market maker, or the protocol's own deleveraging engine sits opposite your position — and does better when you do worse. We built Lavarage so that's not the deal you're taking.
No counterparty, no ADL.
On Lavarage you borrow from on-chain lenders. A lender earns one thing — interest — and wants one thing: the loan repaid.
They're not the other side of your trade, and no auto-deleveraging engine can close your winner to balance someone else's book. It's borrowing, not a bet against the house.
You hold the real token.
A perp gives you a synthetic position. Lavarage gives you the real token, on-chain, in your own isolated account — borrowed against, but yours.
Each position is its own account: no shared pool, no insurance fund socializing your losses onto other traders.
Leverage set by people, not a casino dial.
Leverage here isn't a slider tuned to liquidate you. Lenders set the terms on each market — and because they're pricing to get repaid, the incentives skew toward sane leverage, not a dial built to wick you out on the first red candle.
Liquidation is real. Here's how you stay ahead of it.
Let's be straight: liquidation is real, and more leverage brings it closer. No leverage product changes that.
What we control is the tools to manage it before the candle, not after — repay to cut your borrow, trim risk, or split a position, all live today. Auto stop-loss is live for Privy wallets; auto-deleverage is on the way.
And tools only help if they fire: the V2 rebuild took transaction success from ~60% to 95% , so a stop or repay lands when you need it.
Built for the long term.
A blown account doesn't come back to trade. We're building Lavarage for traders who last: no one across the table, the real asset in your hands, sane leverage, and the tools to stay in the game.
The market can still liquidate you. Our model just isn't built to profit when it does.
