# How does Novarium work?

NOVARIUM creates a range of on-chain accounts related to your private key. Only you can control your assets within your portfolio and you can withdraw your asset or select another portfolio at any time.\
\
Once you've selected the assets, strategies and yield generation opportunities you would like within your portfolio, the protocol sets about assigning those assets into dedicated on-chain accounts:

* Primary: This is your web3 wallet. 
* Secondary: Each [asset](broken://pages/ACldu79Xv2gfziP2xcvA) selected to be in your portfolio is placed into an individual secondary account on the blockchain. From here, the portfolio program can execute actions based on your approval and strategies/yield you defined in the creation process of your portfolio.
* Tertiary: When you have employed a [strategy](broken://pages/u9WudVpig74mIhQMWsd1) technique on an asset that buys or sells between another asset, the output asset is stored in a tertiary account. This ensures that funds related to different strategies are kept Seperate from Eachother.
* LP: When you participate in a [yield](broken://pages/3mbvr6NHUgVXNbd9XkWb) generation strategy, the assets are placed into specific liquidity provision (LP) accounts. LP accounts manage instructions and relationships with external protocols that are producing yield on your assets.
* Rewards: When you claim [rewards](broken://pages/1N3G0RqagvBbqt9xsfVM) from yield generation, those funds are transferred into a Seperate rewards account. From here, you can withdraw those funds to your regular wallet. In the future, you will be able to program the rewards account to compound or re-allocate profits within your portfolio structure.
