# Orderflow

> Learn the transaction flow with Silvana Book.

A typical DvP order operation follows this flow:

1. **Buyer creates a DvP Proposal.**
   One party (the proposer) creates a **DvP proposal** contract that describes the swap terms: what instruments and amounts will be delivered and what will be paid, plus key timing parameters (for example, allocation and settlement deadlines).
2. **Seller accepts the Proposal and forms the agreement.**\
   The counterparty accepts the proposal. This acceptance results in a **DvP agreement** (a DvP contract) between the buyer and seller under the same terms.
3. **Both Buyer and Seller allocate assets according to the terms.**\
   Both parties create the required token allocations for the instruments and amounts specified in the agreement. Allocations represent each party reserving/committing the assets needed for delivery vs payment.
4. **Settlement is done automatically when both sides have allocated their assets.**\
   Settlement completes automatically once all required allocations are in place. At that point, delivery and payment are executed together according to the DvP terms.

  **If any party fails to meet the contractual obligations and fulful their part of the contract, settlement fails, and the transaction rolls back. No assets move from one account to another.**
