1. To be eligible to execute orders, **Intent Agents** need to provide any authorized stablecoin (USDT, USDC, DAI) to a `CollateralManager` contract.
2. **Collateral** can be deposited in an ERC-20 token of authorized stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI, etc.) This token can be slashed by **Liquidators** in case the order execution fails.
3. **Intent Agents** can borrow additional liquidity from the **Liquidity Pool** by pledging their collateral. This pool provides multi-chain over-collateralized loans for supported assets (primarily stablecoins).
