How Does a Protocol Use Tokenized Assets to Meet Margin Requirements?

A decentralized derivatives protocol allows users to deposit tokenized assets (like ETH, stablecoins, or even LP tokens) into a smart contract as collateral to meet initial and maintenance margin requirements. The contract constantly monitors the value of these tokenized assets against the position's liability, automatically enforcing the required collateralization ratio on-chain.
