Risks & Considerations

Using Portal allows you to borrow assets and trade with leverage — which also introduces important risks.

Please review these considerations carefully before opening a position.

Your margin level determines how close your position is to liquidation. As it decreases, your risk increases.

⚠️ If your margin level drops below 1.10, your position becomes eligible for liquidation.

Low Risk: margin level ≥ 1.5 You’re in a stable zone. Monitor markets periodically.
Medium Risk: 1.15 ≤ margin level < 1.5 Add collateral or repay debt to reduce exposure.
High Risk: 1.10 ≤ margin level < 1.15 Immediate action is strongly recommended.
Liquidation Zone: margin level < 1.10 Your position may be forcibly closed at market price.

💡 You can check your real-time margin level and liquidation price in the Portal Dashboard.

When you borrow tokens through Portal, you pay an ongoing funding cost based on the borrowed amount and time held.

Funding Cost = Balance × Funding Rate × Time

⚠️ The longer your position is open, the more cost you accrue — increasing your total debt and lowering your margin level.

You can repay your loan or add more collateral at any time to manage your exposure.

⚠️ Collateral supplied to Portal is locked and cannot be withdrawn unless your margin level supports it.

You can only reduce your collateral if:

Price swings in crypto can be sharp and sudden.

💡 Start with conservative leverage levels (e.g., 2x–3x) until you're comfortable managing margin risks.

Each open position affects your overall Portal account health.

⚠️ Monitor all open positions together — not just individually.
