# How do I add more collateral to my Liquid Leverage position while maintaining a 50/50 split?

In order to be eligible for Merkl rewards, your Liquid Leverage position needs to have a roughly 50/50 split of USDe and sUSDe in dollar value.

> As such, supplying more of one of the assets as collateral disrupts this balance, and might make you ineligible. \
> \
> This also means that you'd need to supply the other asset in a separate transaction, after calculating how much you need to add to maintain the 50/50 split.

DeFi Saver makes this process of topping up collateral in a Liquid Leverage position far easier. You can simply "re-run" the Liquid Leverage recipe you used to open the position, and it will simply supply the additional amount of collateral with the correct split:

Say you have an open Liquid Leverage position:

You have an additional 20,000 USDe you'd like to supply, but also ensure that you maintain the 50/50 split.

So, the first step would be to visit the Recipe Creator tool once more, and open up the Liquid Leverage recipe:

<figure><img src="https://2276946674-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fo1t7pGS5d15WeQzoQ3Fe%2Fuploads%2FlinhTgtzc53yduIhbZsD%2FScreenshot%202025-08-07%20141325.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a9792ea7-d428-4df9-a0f1-f5f38bb7fb1c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

On the right-hand side, you'll see how your current position's collateral and debt balance change. Our recipe will take care of maintaining the 50/50 ratio of USDe and sUSDe.

With that in mind, you can click on "Execute":

You'll also notice how the "Recipe completed pop-up" says "Positions changed:" and not that a new position was created.

So, if we now go back to our Liquid Leverage position, we can see:

<figure><img src="https://2276946674-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fo1t7pGS5d15WeQzoQ3Fe%2Fuploads%2Fn9qUwH2tkEgcN1mavL7H%2FScreenshot%202025-08-07%20141533.png?alt=media&#x26;token=22ecccd4-b09d-4549-90b7-ec5e82e68c33" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We started with supplying 20,000 more USDe at 5x leverage, and got:

* 49,810 more USDe
* 42,166 more sUSDe

{% hint style="info" %}
*You're also able to use the Liquid Leverage recipe directly from your Aave position*
{% endhint %}

By opening your position and clicking the "Tools" icon, you'll find the "Liquid Leverage Boost" option:

Clicking it will open up the Liquid Leverage recipe pop-up:
