# Increase Collateral/ Leverage The Increase Collateral and Leverage features offer users a dynamic solution to liquidity utilization and risk management. With this feature, users can add collateral via the Position Menu, which will decrease leverage and thus push out the liquidation price if that is a concern. Contrarily, Increasing Leverage will result in a tighter liquidation price but can free up the collateral for other positions if desired. ![](/files/QJ4wBWXA4uMDxcgeiP9c)![](/files/hf8g2yKuKbxOVbIR64zz) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
