# Minting
To mint leveraged tokens, go to the top panel and find **Mint**. This will open the minting page where you can select your target asset, direction, margin, and leverage factor. Note, on the TLX UI, a leveraged token position is denominated in sUSD and not in amounts of the leveraged token.
