# 1. Intent Life Cycle

The lifecycle of an Intent begins with **PartyA** (traders) initiating a trade request on the SYMMIO platform by specifying key parameters for the desired trade. This request, known as an "Intent," is broadcast on-chain via the platform's core contracts. Once posted, it becomes visible to **PartyB**, the hedgers or market makers, who have the option to review and respond.

Hedgers/Solvers monitor these on-chain requests using tools such as event listeners or subgraphs. They evaluate the parameters of each Intent against their strategy, risk profile, and market conditions. If a hedger decides to proceed, they can claim the Intent and respond by submitting a corresponding transaction on-chain. This transaction indicates their agreement to the proposed terms or includes any modifications they deem necessary, such as an adjusted price or collateral requirement.

## PartyA SendQuote Flow Overview

* Creates a Sub-Account: Through A [MultiAccount](/contract-documentation/version-history/contracts-documentation-0.8.2/multiaccount.md) contract deployed by a frontend.
* Deposits and Allocates Collateral: To the created sub-account.
* `sendQuote()` with the desired parameters. This requires two things:
  * A Muon Signature is fetched verifying the partyA's ability to open a position, and the price of the asset (this is usually handled by the frontend)
  * The transaction is encoded via the `_call()` function on the MultiAccount contract, which will forward to `sendQuote()` on the Diamond contract.

After being whitelisted as a PartyB by the SYMMIO developers, hedgers can use the Cloverfield interface to allow them to send quotes using the `sendQuote` functionality. This interface enables hedgers to easily verify the functionality of their service and test their strategies and workflows in real time. 

More documentation on sendQuote is available here ([0.8.2](/contract-documentation/version-history/contracts-documentation-0.8.2/facets/partya-facet.md), [0.8.3](/contract-documentation/version-history/contracts-documentation-0.8.3/facets/partya-facet.md))
