   • Verifies client signatures using Sui wallet
   • Manages cryptographic operations
   • Handles access control and request validation
   • Integrates with confidential compute service

4. State Manager

   • Maintains node state and synchronization
   • Manages database operations
   • Handles task queuing and execution
   • Tracks compute units and settlements

5. Sui Event Subscriber

   • Listens to blockchain events
   • Processes on-chain state changes
   • Manages node registration and task assignments
   • Handles settlement verification

6. Confidential Compute Service

   • Provides secure enclave operations
   • Manages encryption/decryption of sensitive data
   • Ensures privacy guarantees for compute tasks
   • Handles attestation proofs

7. Atoma Daemon

   • Manages node operations and maintenance
