# App-ads.txt

The Authorized Sellers for Apps, or app-ads.txt, is a standard developed by the IAB Tech Lab to help app developers ensure that their ad inventory is only sold through authorized channels. By implementing an app-ads.txt file, you can maintain better control over who is allowed to sell ads on your app and protect advertisers from counterfeit inventory.
