When you open a 5x perp position, nobody is lending you 4x extra capital.
If you put up $100 at 5x, you get $500 of notional exposure.
Your $100 margin collateralizes your downside.
The maker pool separately provides the capital that pays trader profits.
That separation matters:
Trader margin covers trader losses.
Pool capital covers winning trader claims.
Leverage is exposure, not a loan.
