Yes it's exactly like HIVE engine, everything happens on a side chain and then when you're ready to leave you secure it to the base chain with a single transaction. So I can trade on HE and then when I'm ready I can take the HIVE I earned and put it back to my main wallet on the main chain

Writing in the margins just means that a lot happens between the transaction you create to get in versus the transaction you use to get out
