Looking for verified TorZon access? You're in the right place. We maintain official TorZon mirrors with 24/7 uptime monitoring. Anonymous BTC and XMR trading. Walletless escrow. PGP encryption. No compromises on security.
Built from scratch with one goal: your privacy. The platform combines strong cryptographic techniques with an interface that actually makes sense. Every feature exists for a reason — protecting your anonymity while keeping the marketplace reliable. No bloat. No unnecessary complexity. Just what works.
AES-256 for data at rest. TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Every message? End-to-end encrypted with PGP (4096-bit RSA minimum). Independent security researchers have audited our protocols. 2FA is mandatory — not optional. TOTP tokens never leave your device. Lost your password? Mnemonic phrase recovery has you covered.
Bitcoin or Monero — your choice. BTC confirms after just 1 blockchain confirmation. XMR requires 10 for enhanced security. Each deposit generates a unique address used only once. No address reuse means no blockchain analysis. The system never stores crypto on hot wallets. Your funds stay in your control until the transaction completes. Admins can't access user funds. Period.
Walletless escrow — we pioneered it. The platform never takes custody of your crypto. Smart contracts lock funds in cryptographically secured escrow. Releases automatically on order completion or dispute resolution. Buyers protected: don't pay until you receive. Vendors protected: don't ship until payment is secured. Multi-sig tech means no single party can touch escrowed funds early.
Multiple layers of protection against phishing. During registration, you create a unique anti-phishing phrase. See it on every login page. Missing or wrong? You're on a fake site — close it immediately. The system also uses visual verification codes and custom login images specific to your account. We maintain a public list of known phishing domains. Check it before trusting any link.
Sophisticated reputation system. Based on completed transactions, dispute ratios, response times, and customer feedback. New vendors must post a refundable bond — forfeited if they scam. Established vendors get trust badges on their profiles. Our algorithm analyzes behavior patterns to detect potential scams before they happen. Filter search results by trust level. Deal only with reputable sellers. Honest vendors get rewarded with increased visibility.
Over 20 filter options. Search by category, price range, vendor location, accepted crypto, shipping options. The algorithm prioritizes reputable vendors and active listings. Save your favorite searches. Get alerts when new matching products appear. Optimized for Tor network latency — fast results despite the anonymity overhead. Predictive suggestions help you find what you need quickly.
Designed by cryptography experts and penetration testing professionals. Multi-layered defense strategy protects against everything — from simple phishing to sophisticated state-level attacks. Every component has been hardened against known vulnerabilities. Active bug bounty program. Found something? Report it. Get paid.
Exclusively operates as Tor v3 onion service. Why? Latest Tor protocol improvements. 56-character onion addresses provide superior encryption and authentication — legacy v2 is dead. All servers run hardened Linux with minimal attack surface. DDoS protection at multiple levels: rate limiting, traffic analysis, proof-of-work challenges for suspicious connections. Regular penetration testing keeps network defenses solid against evolving threats.
Defense in depth at every layer. All user inputs rigorously sanitized — no injection attacks getting through. Content Security Policy headers mitigate XSS. Session tokens? Cryptographically secure random generation. They rotate after sensitive operations. Password hashing uses Argon2 with work factors tuned for both security and performance. Rate limiting and progressive delays stop brute force attacks cold.
All data encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Keys stored in hardware security modules. Database connections use certificate pinning — no MITM attacks possible. Zero logs policy. No IP addresses. No access timestamps. No search queries. What minimal operational data we collect? Auto-deleted after 48 hours. Infrastructure distributed across multiple jurisdictions. No single-point failures. No single legal vulnerability.
We provide enterprise-grade security. But you have responsibilities too. Always use Tor Browser with security level set to Safer or Safest. Unique passwords only — use a password manager. 2FA enabled, backup codes saved securely. Never share credentials or mnemonic phrase. Ever. VPN before Tor adds another layer. Verify mirror addresses before every login. Stay paranoid.
Founded by cryptography experts, security researchers, and privacy advocates. Why? The darknet marketplace ecosystem needed fixing. Too many markets failed — security holes, exit scams, law enforcement takedowns. We built something different. Technically superior. Legally resilient. Economically sustainable. Years of R&D went into solving the problems that killed previous markets.
Our philosophy: transparency, education, continuous improvement. Most markets operate in total secrecy. We publish detailed security documentation. We maintain an active blog. Why? Informed users make better security decisions. That protects everyone. Our team includes former security consultants who audited major darknet markets. We know exactly what went wrong elsewhere.
Architecture built on key principles: Never store user funds (walletless). Never log user activity (privacy by default). Never compromise on encryption (military-grade). Never trust administrators (zero-knowledge proofs). These aren't marketing slogans. They're fundamental architectural decisions in every line of code. Escrow contracts audited by blockchain security firms. Cryptographic implementations reviewed by academic researchers. Operational security validated through professional pentesting.
Operational independence through distributed governance. No single person makes unilateral decisions. Major changes require consensus among founding team. Financial reserves in multi-sig wallets requiring multiple approvals. This structure makes exit scams impossible. We're building a long-term sustainable business. Not a quick cash grab.
What's next? Privacy-preserving crypto technologies — Confidential Transactions, bulletproofs. Cross-chain atomic swaps for instant BTC/XMR conversion. AI-powered fraud detection that maintains user privacy. Decentralized dispute resolution using reputation-weighted voting. Less reliance on centralized moderators.
Two cryptocurrencies supported: Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Different privacy characteristics. Different transaction speeds. Which one to use? Depends on your privacy requirements, transaction size, and how fast you need it done.
Bitcoin remains widely accepted. But remember — Bitcoin blockchain is transparent. All transactions publicly visible. Proper opsec can maintain anonymity. Coin mixing services or CoinJoin transactions before depositing? Highly recommended.
BTC deposits require only 1 blockchain confirmation. That's 10-15 minutes depending on network congestion. Withdrawals processed within 1 hour of request, requiring 2 confirmations before funds leave. Every transaction generates a unique deposit address. No address reuse. No blockchain clustering analysis.
Want enhanced Bitcoin privacy? Use Wasabi Wallet or Samourai Wallet before transferring. These wallets implement CoinJoin mixing automatically. Breaks the transaction chain between your purchase point and marketplace deposits. Never send BTC directly from an exchange. That creates a permanent record linking your identity to marketplace activity. Don't do it.
Monero is the gold standard for crypto privacy. Unlike Bitcoin, privacy is mandatory at the protocol level. Ring signatures hide the sender. Stealth addresses hide the recipient. RingCT hides transaction amounts. Result? Completely untraceable transactions.
XMR deposits require 10 blockchain confirmations. About 20 minutes. Longer than BTC, but provides superior security against double-spend attacks. Most users prefer Monero for large transactions — inherent privacy guarantees with no extra steps. No mixing required. No additional opsec needed.
Our Monero infrastructure uses viewkey-only wallet scanning. Detects incoming deposits without exposing private keys. Even if servers get compromised? Attackers can't steal XMR from user accounts. Withdrawals fully automated, typically completing within 30 minutes.
Security guidelines to follow: Never reuse addresses across multiple deposits. Always verify deposit addresses match what's displayed in your account — phishing sites show attacker addresses. Enable 2FA before making any crypto deposits. Prevents account takeover during active deposits.
Which crypto for what amount? Under $500 — Bitcoin with proper mixing is usually fine. Larger transactions? Monero's enhanced privacy is the way to go. Some vendors even offer discounts for XMR payments. Why? Reduced risk of blockchain analysis.
Most innovative feature: walletless escrow. Traditional darknet markets hold user funds in centralized wallets. We don't. Never takes custody of your crypto. This architectural decision fundamentally changes the security model. Exit scams? Eliminated.
Traditional markets pool all user deposits in central wallets. Administrators have direct access. Millions accumulate. Temptation grows. Then one day — poof. Operators disappear with everything. This has happened dozens of times throughout darknet history. Users left with nothing. Vendors unpaid for shipped orders.
Centralized wallets also create honeypots for law enforcement. Authorities seize a market? They get all user funds at once. Our walletless architecture eliminates these systemic risks. Fundamentally changes how crypto moves through the platform.
When you make a purchase, you don't deposit into a market-controlled wallet. The system generates a unique, time-limited escrow address for that specific transaction. Multi-signature cryptography — we hold only one of three required keys.
Buyer controls one key. Vendor controls one key. The marketplace holds the third — purely for dispute mediation. Funds locked in escrow can't be accessed by any single party. Trustless architecture. Even administrators can't steal escrowed crypto. We literally don't have the technical capability.
Order completes successfully? Buyer releases their signature. System combines it with vendor's signature. Funds released. Marketplace signature not needed for normal transactions. Disputes? Only then does the third key come into play — funds go to buyer if vendor scammed, to vendor if buyer's complaint is fraudulent.
No central honeypot for hackers or law enforcement. Servers compromised? Attackers gain nothing. All funds remain in individual escrow contracts controlled by users. Exit scams impossible. Can't run away with funds we never had access to.
Third-party auditors can verify these claims. Smart contract code is examinable. On-chain transaction patterns are transparent. Cryptographically verifiable security — not just marketing talk. This model has made us one of the most trusted markets since launch.
Full walkthrough. Every step for using the marketplace safely and effectively. First-time darknet user? Experienced veteran? Doesn't matter. Understanding the specific features and security requirements is what keeps you safe.
First: proper security setup. Download Tor Browser from torproject.org only. Never use regular browsers. VPN before Tor adds privacy but it's optional. Set up a dedicated email — ProtonMail or Tutanota. Never use personal email accounts.
Visit one of the official mirrors listed above using Tor Browser. Click "Register". Choose a strong, unique username — nothing that reveals personal info. Password? Random, generated by password manager. Minimum 16 characters. Never reuse passwords from other sites.
During registration, create a PGP key pair or import an existing one. This encrypts all communications and protects messages from interception. Registration also sets up 2FA using TOTP. Save backup codes somewhere secure. Lose them? Permanent account lockout. No exceptions.
After registration, explore using search or category browsing. Filter by vendor rating, product location, accepted crypto. Read descriptions carefully — vendors specify shipping methods, stealth level, expected delivery times.
Found something? Check vendor's profile page first. Feedback history. Dispute ratio. Account age. New vendors require more caution than established ones. Read negative feedback. Understand common issues before ordering.
Add to cart. Checkout. Generate an escrow address for this specific transaction. Send the exact amount in BTC or XMR. Not more. Not less. Wrong amounts create delays. After sending, paste the transaction ID for faster confirmation.
Payment confirms on blockchain. Vendor gets notified. Order processing begins. Use encrypted messaging to provide shipping address — PGP encryption mandatory. Never send plain text addresses. That compromises both you and the vendor.
Vendor ships. Order status updates. Tracking info provided if applicable. Most vendors use stealth shipping without tracking — it's more secure. Delivery times: 3-10 days domestic, 7-21 days international. Varies by product type and vendor location.
Package arrives? Inspect immediately. Everything matches the description? Finalize the order. That releases crypto from escrow to vendor. Don't finalize manually? Auto-finalize kicks in after 14 days.
Problem with order? Open a dispute before auto-finalize deadline. Provide evidence — photos of wrong product, missing items, quality issues. Moderators review within 24-48 hours. Fair judgments based on evidence from both parties.
Common questions about security, usage, and policies. Can't find your answer? Contact support through encrypted messaging after logging in.
Yes. Operating continuously since 2022. Zero exit scam allegations. Zero major security breaches. Walletless escrow makes exit scams technically impossible. Transparent operations. Strong reputation built through consistent uptime and fair dispute resolution.
Bitcoin: 1 blockchain confirmation (~10-15 minutes). Monero: 10 confirmations (~20 minutes). Network congestion may increase times. Include appropriate transaction fees for timely confirmation.
Funds stay in escrow until order completion. Vendor doesn't ship within timeframe? Open a dispute. Moderators investigate. Buyers typically refunded if vendor can't prove shipping. Escrow protects you from scams.
No. Zero-knowledge architecture. Transaction details encrypted end-to-end. We see that transactions occur. Can't see products purchased, amounts, or parties involved. Only you and the vendor access order details.
Tor Browser alone provides anonymity. But your ISP sees Tor usage. They can't see what you're accessing specifically. Still, Tor usage may raise flags in some jurisdictions. No-logs VPN before Tor? Recommended. Hides Tor usage entirely.
Small commission on completed transactions: 4% for vendor sales, 0% for buyers. No deposit fees. No withdrawal fees. No listing fees. We profit only when transactions complete successfully. Our incentives align with yours.
Navigate to Vendor Registration after logging in. Post refundable vendor bond (0.1 BTC or equivalent XMR) — protects buyers from scams. Complete verification: PGP setup, shipping capability proof. Once approved, start listing and selling.
Mnemonic phrase recovery system. You got a 12-word phrase during registration. It restores your account even without password. Never share this phrase — grants complete account access. Lost both password and mnemonic? Recovery impossible. Zero-knowledge architecture means we can't help.
Certain categories prohibited. Community safety and reduced legal heat. Prohibited: weapons, explosives, CSAM, PII, murder-for-hire, fentanyl-laced products. Vendors listing prohibited items face immediate ban.
Rotated periodically for security. 2-4 active mirrors maintained at all times. Bookmark this page. Mirror changes announced 48 hours ahead via PGP-signed messages. Unofficial sources? Never trust them. Phishing sites steal credentials and funds.
How do we stack up against competitors? Respect to other markets, but architectural innovations and security-first design set us apart.
Walletless escrow vs centralized wallets. Fundamental difference. Eliminates exit scam possibility entirely. 2FA mandatory for all accounts — many markets make it optional. PGP encryption required for sensitive communications. Not recommended. Required.
