How Do AMMs Handle Collateral and Margin Requirements for Leveraged Derivatives?

AMMs for leveraged derivatives typically use smart contracts to manage collateral and margin. Collateral is deposited on-chain, and the smart contract automatically calculates margin requirements based on the contract's parameters and the user's position.

Liquidation is also automated via the contract when the margin falls below the maintenance level, ensuring a trustless and transparent process.
