* **Enter the amount** of tokens you want to add as collateral.
  * In this example, you can add more **PUMP** tokens from your wallet.
  * The panel shows updated values for:
    * **Current collateral** and **New collateral**
    * **Estimated liquidation price**
    * **Leverage**
    * **Open debt**

### Important Information

* **Lower Leverage**: Adding collateral reduces your leverage, making your position less risky.
* **Liquidation Price Buffer**: Increasing collateral improves your liquidation threshold, pushing it further away.
* **Collateral Limits**: Only tokens matching the market pair (e.g., PUMP in a PUMP/SOL trade) can be added as collateral.
* **Wallet Balance Required**: You must hold the tokens in your wallet to add them.
