# Understanding the System Components

At its core, the Leviathan system comprises several key components, each contributing to the system's overall functionality and efficiency. The primary components are the Optim Account framework and the Leviathan Sequencer system. The sequencer system operates by taking user-generated intents, submitted through the Optim Account framework, and converting them into transactions ready for execution on the Cardano blockchain.

This section will continue with detailed analyses of all the system components, including the role of time management through built-in oracles, handling data availability challenges, and the system's approach to managing potential changes, all critical for maintaining Leviathan's operational efficacy.
