Frequently Asked Questions

Torzon Access URL serves as the authoritative, PGP-signed directory for Torzon Market. Our infrastructure ensures that users connect directly to the legitimate marketplace servers, bypassing malicious redirects and impersonation attempts. All links provided here are cryptographically verified against the market's public key.

TorZon Market is a premier decentralized marketplace operating since September 2022. It currently services over 52,000 active user accounts and hosts 1,450+ vetted vendors. The platform facilitates the secure, escrowed exchange of digital and physical goods using Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). It is engineered for high availability (99.9% uptime) and maximum user privacy.

Access is restricted to the Tor Network. You must download and install the Tor Browser (based on Firefox ESR). Standard browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge) cannot resolve .onion addresses. Once configured, navigate to one of the verified V3 onion addresses listed on our Links page.

Registration is anonymous; no email or phone number is required. Upon registration, the system generates a Mnemonic Recovery Phrase. You must write this phrase down and store it securely offline. It is the sole mechanism for account recovery if you lose your password. We strongly advise enabling PGP 2FA immediately post-registration.

Authenticity is established via PGP cryptographic signatures. Torzon publishes a signed message containing the current active mirrors. Import the market's public key (found on the homepage or About section) into your PGP keychain (e.g., Kleopatra, GPG). Verify the signed message. If the signature is valid, the links are safe to use.

Torzon implements a zero-trust security architecture. This includes server-side hardening, end-to-end PGP encryption for messages, and strict image metadata stripping. For user-side security (OpSec), we recommend setting the Tor Browser Security Level to "Safest" (disabling JavaScript) and never reusing passwords from other platforms.

Stealth Mode is a privacy-centric interface option available to Basic-Plus and Premium members. It removes all graphical elements (product images, banners) from the UI, presenting a text-only version of the market. This significantly reduces bandwidth usage, accelerates page loads over the Tor network, and mitigates risks associated with image rendering exploits.

Torzon natively supports Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). While Bitcoin is widely used, we strongly recommend Monero for its inherent privacy features (ring signatures, stealth addresses) which break on-chain traceability. The platform supports both direct-pay (walletless) orders and account balance deposits.

The escrow system acts as a neutral third party. When an order is placed, funds are moved to a secure market wallet. The vendor ships the goods but cannot access the funds yet. Once the buyer confirms receipt (Finalize), funds are released to the vendor. If the buyer takes no action, the system auto-finalizes after 14 days (extendable).

Bitcoin: Credits after 1 network confirmation (approx. 10 minutes).
Monero: Credits after 10 network confirmations (approx. 20 minutes) to prevent chain reorganization attacks.
Always check the specific deposit address generated for your transaction; do not reuse old addresses.

Prospective vendors must pay a non-refundable bond of $300 USD. This ensures only serious entities join the ecosystem. Vendors are held to strict standards: mandatory PGP usage, < 5% dispute rate, and accurate product descriptions. The market levies a 4% commission on all completed transactions.

If an order exceeds the estimated delivery time, users should first utilize the 'Extend Escrow' function. If the item still does not arrive, click 'Dispute' before the auto-finalize timer reaches zero. This action freezes the funds and summons a moderator to review shipping evidence and chat logs to render a verdict.

Torzon maintains strict ethical boundaries. Prohibited listings include: Child Exploitation Material (CSAM), Human Trafficking/Prostitution, Fentanyl and Carfentanil (including analogues), Poisons/Toxins, Weapons/Explosives, and Violence-for-hire (Hitman) services. Violation of these terms results in an immediate permanent ban.

Tor network services occasionally face Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. If a specific mirror is timed out, return to the 'Links' page on this site and select a different mirror from the Rotator list. We monitor link health continuously to ensure at least one entry point remains operational.

We do not store personal data and cannot issue password resets via email. The only method to regain access is by inputting your Mnemonic Recovery Phrase provided during registration. If this phrase is lost, the account and all associated funds are permanently inaccessible. This is a strict security feature.

All support inquiries must be routed through the internal ticketing system. Log in to your user dashboard, navigate to the 'Support' tab, and generate a new ticket. Include relevant Order IDs or Transaction Hashes. Do not attempt to contact administration via clear-net email or social media for account-specific issues.
