# Connecting to the Ecosystem

Freedom and flexibility are at the core of Archivium. We don't lock you into a proprietary platform or a centralized service. Our goal is to provide the tools you need to connect your work to the ecosystem on your own terms.

#### Deploy Anywhere, Connect Everywhere

As a fully decentralized protocol, Archivium allows you to establish your own access rules and host your work wherever you see fit.

* Keep your proprietary model on your secure, private server.
* Host your dataset on AWS, Google Cloud, or Arweave.
* Run your application from your own domain.

#### The Turn-Key API

Our turn-key API is the bridge between your work and the entire Archivium ecosystem. With just a few lines of code, you can integrate the protocol's authentication and payment logic.

This allows you to connect with any participant in the Archivium ecosystem. An application developer can discover your model and integrate it into their product, and a data scientist can subscribe to your dataset to train their next model. You gain a distribution channel without giving up control.

Throughout this entire process, you maintain **absolute control over permissions.** You can revoke access, change pricing, or update your terms at any time. Your work always remains yours.
