# InterLink Mini-App Marketplace: The Evolution Beyond App Store and Google Play
The traditional mobile app marketplaces — Apple’s App Store and Google Play — were revolutionary in the early digital era. However, they have grown into highly centralized systems, burdened by restrictive approvals, high fees, regional limitations, and complex user onboarding processes. In a world that demands openness, speed, and human connection, these outdated models are no longer sufficient.\
InterLink introduces the Mini-App Marketplace — a decentralized, human-first evolution of the app store model.
Through seamless integration within the InterLink App, users can instantly access a wide range of Mini-Apps without the need for additional downloads, complex sign-ups, or platform gatekeeping. Developers, in turn, can launch services directly to a global audience of verified real humans, bypassing traditional barriers and fees.
Every interaction in the Mini-App Marketplace is powered by InterLink ID, ensuring that only genuine, verified humans participate, driving trust, quality, and security at unprecedented scale.
This new marketplace is not just an alternative; it is the natural evolution of digital ecosystems — where applications are free from centralized control, where human identity powers access, and where global participation becomes frictionless.
InterLink’s vision is bold: to become the world’s largest decentralized Mini-App network, redefining how digital services are distributed and accessed — and ultimately challenging the dominance of traditional app stores.
Build for humans, not for platforms. Welcome to the Human App Store.
