Market Protocol & FAQ

Torzon Market is a decentralized darknet trading platform established in late 2022. It functions as a secure intermediary for the exchange of digital and physical goods. The platform utilizes advanced escrow systems, cold storage for cryptocurrency, and a verified vendor program to ensure market integrity. With over 1,450 verified vendors, Torzon is a primary hub for secure commerce on the Tor network.

Verification is mandatory for OpSec. Always verify the PGP signature of the market message before logging in. The official main address is:

dv4ozfq4533foeo6ux2jq5jrimfpq7iyvhc23xjqhomidesnmjysyfqd.onion

Never input credentials if the PGP verification fails. Reliable mirrors can be found on our verified Links page.

PGP Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) cryptographically secures your account. When enabled, the market presents a challenge message encrypted with your public key upon login. You must decrypt this message to obtain the verification code. This renders password theft useless, as an attacker cannot access your account without your private PGP key.

We adhere to a strict minimal-knowledge policy. Internal logs are rotated and wiped every 72 hours. Order details are retained only for the duration of the escrow period. Once an order is finalized and aged out, all associated data is purged from our servers to ensure forward secrecy.

Torzon supports Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR).

Monero (XMR): Recommended for all transactions. XMR utilizes ring signatures and stealth addresses to obfuscate the sender, receiver, and amount, providing superior anonymity.
Bitcoin (BTC): Supported for accessibility. We recommend using coin mixers or CoinJoin implementations before depositing BTC to sever blockchain links.

Each user account is assigned a unique, segregated wallet address.

• BTC: Requires 1 blockchain confirmation (approx. 10-30 mins).
• XMR: Requires 10 confirmations (approx. 20-40 mins) to prevent reorganization attacks.

Funds are automatically credited to your balance upon reaching the required confirmation threshold.

Torzon charges a flat 4% commission on finalized sales. This fee covers server infrastructure, DDoS mitigation via our Links Rotator system, and support staff. There are no fees for account creation or browsing. Withdrawal fees are dynamic and based on current blockchain network congestion.

The escrow system protects both parties. When an order is placed, funds are moved from the buyer's wallet to a secure market escrow wallet. The vendor is notified to ship. Funds are only released to the vendor when: 1. The buyer marks the order as "Received/Finalized". 2. The auto-finalize timer (14 days) expires without a dispute. 3. A dispute is resolved in the vendor's favor.

Vendor status is reserved for professional merchants. To apply, navigate to the "Upgrade Account" section. A non-refundable bond of $300 USD is required to prevent spam and ensure commitment. Applicants must demonstrate PGP proficiency. Established vendors from other markets may apply for a bond waiver via a support ticket with proof of history.

Torzon Market enforces a strict harm reduction policy. The following are permanently banned:
- Child Exploitation Material (CP) - Fentanyl and related analogues - Weapons, explosives, and poisons - Hitman services or violent acts
Listing these items results in an immediate ban and reporting of data to relevant blacklists.

If a transaction fails, buyers must initiate a dispute before the 14-day timer expires. A moderator will join the encrypted chat. Resolution is evidence-based; buyers should document unboxings (video preferred) and communication logs. Vendors must provide valid tracking or shipping proofs. Decisions made by the administration are final.

The Tor network can experience latency. If the main link (dv4ozfq...) is down, utilize one of our rotational mirrors listed on the Links page. Our infrastructure is designed to resist DDoS attacks by distributing load across multiple hidden service descriptors.
