Platform Overview & Access
Torzon Market is a sophisticated darknet marketplace engineered for anonymity and resilience. Established in September 2022, it operates on a custom-built infrastructure designed to facilitate secure peer-to-peer commerce. The platform supports over 52,000 active users and provides features such as wallet-less Direct Pay, mandatory PGP 2FA, and a robust Escrow system. It is strictly a non-custodial environment for specific transaction types to minimize risk.
Access requires the Tor Browser to route traffic through the onion network. For maximum Operational Security (OpSec), configure your browser's Security Level to 'Safest' (disabling JavaScript). Access is only possible via verified V3 .onion addresses.
Primary V3 Address:
Basic (Free): Default tier. Full access to purchasing, escrow, and standard support tickets.
Basic-Plus: Low one-time fee. Adds 'Stealth Mode' (no images) for faster Tor browsing, increased PM storage, and access to the daily lottery.
Premium: Subscription tier. Priority ticket handling, maximum message storage, advanced market statistics, and early access to new features.

Security & OpSec
Authenticity must be verified cryptographically. Torzon signs all official communications and mirrors with its PGP Key. Import the market's public key into your PGP client (Kleopatra/GPG4Win) and verify the signed message on the login page. Cross-reference URLs with trusted rotators like torzon-market-link.digital or Daunt. Never log in if the signature verification fails.
PGP Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a critical security layer. Upon login attempt, the server generates a random challenge string encrypted with your public PGP key. You must decrypt this message using your private key to obtain the verification code. This ensures that even if your password is compromised via phishing, the attacker cannot access your account without your private PGP key. It is mandatory for all vendors and strongly recommended for all buyers.
Stealth Mode is a privacy-centric interface option available to upgraded accounts. It strips all product images and non-essential CSS from the browsing experience. This serves two purposes: it significantly reduces bandwidth usage (speeding up page loads over the slow Tor network) and minimizes the attack surface for browser fingerprinting techniques that rely on resource loading timing.
Financials & Escrow
Monero (XMR): The preferred currency for Torzon. It utilizes Ring Signatures, RingCT, and Stealth Addresses to completely obfuscate the sender, receiver, and transaction amount on the blockchain.
Bitcoin (BTC): Supported for accessibility. SegWit addresses are used to minimize fees. We strongly advise coin-mixing or CoinJoin if using BTC, as the ledger is public and traceable.

The Escrow system protects both parties. When an order is placed, funds are moved to a market-controlled multisig wallet. The vendor ships the item. Once the buyer confirms receipt and quality, the funds are released to the vendor's wallet. If the buyer does not finalize or dispute within the auto-finalize timer (typically 14 days), funds are automatically released. Finalize Early (FE) is only available to vendors with established high-reputation stats.
Bitcoin: Credits after 1 network confirmation (~10-30 minutes).
Monero: Credits after 10 network confirmations (~20-40 minutes) due to the necessity of blockchain immutability for privacy coins.
Note: Deposit addresses are generated per-transaction. Never send funds to an old address saved in your wallet history.

Buyers incur no fees on purchases. Vendors are charged a flat 4% commission on the final value of successful sales. Withdrawals from the market wallet incur standard network mining fees which are dynamic based on current blockchain congestion.
Governance & Vendors
Vendor status requires a separate registration (buyer accounts cannot upgrade). A non-refundable Vendor Bond of $300 USD (payable in BTC/XMR) is mandatory to filter out spam and low-effort actors. Established vendors from other markets may apply for a bond waiver by verifying their PGP identity and providing proof of reputation (min 100 sales, 4.8+ rating).
Torzon enforces a strict harm-reduction policy. The following are permanently banned: Child Exploitation Material (CSAM), Fentanyl and its analogues, poisons/toxins, weapons/explosives, and murder-for-hire services. Violations result in an immediate account ban and blacklisting.
If an order does not arrive or matches the description, the buyer must initiate a dispute before the auto-finalize timer expires. This freezes the funds in escrow. A moderator will review the case, examining vendor shipping proofs and buyer statistics. Resolutions can include a full refund, partial refund, or release to vendor depending on the evidence provided.
Technical Support & Mirrors
Tor networks are subject to latency and DDoS attacks. If the main link is unresponsive, utilize one of our verified mirrors. We employ a load-balancing Rotator system to maintain uptime.

Security is prioritized over convenience. If you lose your password or PIN, recovery is ONLY possible if you have a PGP key attached to your account. You will need to decrypt a challenge code. If you lose your PGP private key, password, and PIN, the account is cryptographically lost forever. Support admins cannot reset passwords manually.
Registered users should open a Support Ticket via the dashboard for order-specific issues. For general inquiries or PGP verification issues prior to login, consult the community forums (Dread) or the News section. Never share private keys, order IDs, or tracking numbers on public channels.
