# Leverage

**Ready to multiply your potential? Uponly’s Leverage unlocks up to 5x the upside—without the fear of liquidation.**

## What is Leverage on Uponly?

Now, when you invest with Uponly, you don’t just pick your amount and lock duration—you also choose your **Leverage Factor**:\
**from 1x all the way to 5x.**

**Example:**\
Deposit $1,000 with 5x leverage, and you control a massive $5,000 position. That’s **5x the profit potential**—with no hidden funding fees, ever.

## Why Leverage with Uponly?

* **No Liquidations—Ever:**\
  Unlike anywhere else, you can never be liquidated. No forced closures, no surprises. You’re always in control.
* **No Hidden Fees:**\
  Say goodbye to funding rates and surprise interest charges. Uponly charges only the standard fees—liquidity, referral, protocol—and yes, they’re applied to your full leveraged position.
* **Maximize Your Gains:**\
  When the UP token price goes up, your gains are multiplied by your leverage. Turn every pump into a moon mission.

#### Example Scenario

|               | No Leverage | 5x Leverage |
| ------------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Invested      | $1,000      | $1,000      |
| Position Size | $1,000      | $5,000      |
| Profit/Loss   | 1x          | 5x          |

## Real Talk: What’s the Catch?

Leverage amplifies everything—wins **and** losses. If fees outpace the price increase, your loss is multiplied, too. But here’s the clincher:\
**The maximum you can ever lose is the fees you're paying. Liquidations? Not possible.**

## **FAQ:**

**Q: Do I pay interest for borrowed funds?**\
A: No, there is no additional interest or funding fee for using leverage—only the standard Uponly fees, which scale with leverage.

**Q: How are fees calculated with leverage?**\
A: All fees (liquidity, referral, protocol) are multiplied by your chosen leverage factor.

**Q: Can my position be liquidated?**\
A: No, liquidations are impossible. As the UP token only increases in price the max amount you can lose are the fees you pay to open and close your position.
