Decentralize - **ALT MARKET GUIDE NEEDS WRITTEN**
============

EmbassyOS allows users to swap to an alternative Marketplace in case they want a service not offered in the official `Start9 Marketplace <https://marketplace.start9.com>`_, would like a backup registry, or have for some reason lost trust in :ref:`Start9 <start9>`.

- In order to change to an unofficial Marketplace, you can see our documentaion :ref:`here <alt-marketplace>`.
- If you'd like to run your own Marketplace, and help decentralize the ecosystem, please see our guide `here <https://github.com/Start9Labs/registry>`_.
