# Platform capabilities

> Understand full capabilities and what you can do with the Anchorage Digital platform.

## Mobile app

The Anchorage Digital app uses the security hardware built into modern iPhones to generate and protect each user's signing key on the device. The key is designed so it isn't exposed to apps or transmitted off the device, and using it to sign requires the user's biometrics. This turns a device you already carry into a hardware-backed security key, with no shards to manage and no key ceremonies to run.

## Why hardware-backed security matters

Most wallets ask you to trust a password, a seed phrase, or a server. Any of those can be phished, leaked, or copied. Anchorage Digital ties every approval to a specific person on a specific device, enforced in hardware.

  <Card title="Keys stay in secure hardware" icon="microchip">
    Private keys live in tamper-resistant hardware and are used to sign without being exposed outside it — minimizing what an attacker could capture in transit or at rest.

  <Card title="Approvals are human" icon="fingerprint">
    Every sensitive action is bound to a real person's biometrics, not a reusable secret an attacker can capture.

    Quorum approval means no one person — and no one stolen device — can move assets alone.

## How the interfaces work together

The mobile app, web dashboard, and API are designed to complement each other — not to be used in isolation.

The iOS app is the trust anchor for every user. It's where your signing key lives and where sensitive operations are endorsed with biometrics. This applies whether you initiated the operation from the dashboard or the API: every approval that requires a human still routes through the iOS app.

The **web dashboard** builds on that foundation for day-to-day use — monitoring activity, initiating operations, managing settings, and running reports. Administrators also use it to configure permission groups and approve API keys before those keys can be used.

The **API** enables programmatic access once those human-gated setup steps are complete. API keys are scoped to specific permission groups, and certain groups require quorum approval and Anchorage Digital review to activate. After that, the API can run automated workflows — withdrawals to trusted destinations, staking operations, transfers — within the boundaries your team has approved. See [Access control](/knowledge-base/platform/users/access-control) for how API authorization works.

## API integration

Anchorage Digital offers a full-featured API for institutions that need to integrate digital asset operations into their own systems. Use it to automate workflows, connect to internal platforms, and build programmatic access to custody, staking, and settlement — all within the same security controls that govern the web dashboard.
