# How AGI3 works

> A short tour of the platform: entities, portfolios, and the three things you can do with your assets.

AGI3 gives institutional clients access to onchain lending markets through a verified account and a wallet you continue to control. There are three things you can do with assets on the platform: **supply** them to earn yield, **borrow** against them as collateral, and **swap** between them.

## The account model

Access is built in three layers, and each one has to be in place before the next becomes available.

| Layer     | What it is                                                                        | Established by                                               |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Entity    | The legal person that holds the relationship: a company, a fund, or an individual | Onboarding, once identity verification is approved           |
| Portfolio | A named container for positions, bound to one or more wallets you control         | Connecting a wallet and signing a proof-of-ownership message |
| Position  | A supply or borrow in a specific market on a specific chain                       | A transaction you approve in your wallet                     |

Your entity is created once. You can hold several portfolios under it. A common pattern is one portfolio per mandate or per strategy, so performance and risk can be read separately.

## What the platform does not do

AGI3 does not take custody of your assets. Positions are held by your own wallet against onchain protocols; AGI3 prepares and authorizes transactions, and your wallet signs and broadcasts them. See [How transactions are signed](/how-to/how-transactions-are-signed) for the mechanics.

There is also no automated strategy execution. Compound strategies such as [looping](/borrowing/looping) are things you build yourself out of the supply, borrow, and swap actions. The platform does not rebalance, unwind, or manage a position for you.

## Where to go next

If you are setting up for the first time, read [Verification and access](/platform-basics/verification-and-access), then [Connect a portfolio](/how-to/connect-a-portfolio).

If you already hold positions and want to understand the numbers on your dashboard, start with [Risk parameters](/risk/risk-parameters) and [Health factor](/risk/health-factor).
