# Leveraged Tokens

## What are leveraged tokens?

Leveraged tokens are ERC-20 tokens that offer leveraged exposure to an underlying asset while maintaining the leverage factor within a targeted range. Bounce leveraged tokens are built using Hyperliquid precompiles

## Key characteristics

### **Constant leverage**

What distinguishes leveraged tokens from conventional perpetual futures is the reactive rebalancing of the margin-to-notional ratio, otherwise known as the leverage factor. As opposed to a fixed amount of borrowed funds from the outset, the dynamic management of the leverage factor maintains constant leveraged exposure throughout their lifecycle. As a result, leveraged tokens do not require any margin management by the holder.

### **Composability**

Leveraged tokens implement the ERC-20 token standard. This means these tokens will appear in your wallet, can be transferred at your discretion, and seamlessly integrate into the broader DeFi ecosystem.

### **Deep liquidity**

All leveraged tokens are tokenized representations of perpetual futures contracts accessed through Hyperliquid pre-compiles. By drawing from the deep liquidity and benefiting from the cost-effective fees provided by Hyperliquid perpetual markets, these tokens offer a powerful and efficient way to access leveraged positions.
