InfinityPools is a decentralized exchange that can offer **unlimited leverage** on **any asset**, with **no liquidations**, **no counterparty risk** & **no oracles**.

In order to mitigate liquidation risk, futures exchanges limit the maximum leverage available, the assets that can be traded and position sizes. Furthermore, traders are also subject to liquidation penalties that [eat into their expected returns](https://infpools.medium.com/introducing-infinitypools-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-leverage-9b44fc8367b6). 

Leverage is often necessary as investing is only worth a person’s time if the return upside is high enough. InfinityPools found a way to get rid of these constraints and make "good" leverage accessible to everyone.

Trade on insight, not capital.
