The balanced net ionic equation is

3Ag(s) + Au3+(aq)  ——>      Au(s) + 3Ag+(aq)

During this reaction Ag is oxidized and it act as reducing agent.

Au(NO3)3(aq) is reduced and it act as oxidizing agent.


The balance half reaction for the oxidation and reduction

For oxidation half   3Ag(s)  ——>  3Ag+(aq) + 3e-

For reduction half   Au3+(aq) + 3e- ——>  Au(s)
