Technical documentation and operational guidelines for Torzon Market users.

General Operations

darknettorzonmarket.com operates as the primary centralized node for verified status updates regarding Torzon Market. We maintain the canonical list of active V3 onion mirrors, host signed PGP keys for verification, and provide technical documentation to ensure users can interact with the marketplace infrastructure efficiently and correctly.

Access to Torzon Market is strictly limited to the Tor network. Users must utilize a Tor-compatible browser (v11.5+) to resolve .onion top-level domains. Once connected to the Tor circuit, navigation is performed via the primary signed address: torzonypnzivfomuelglhdphjpbm2ww3bquw6bgysxel7fers2avleid.onion.

To view listings and engage in trade, a user account is mandatory. Registration is permissionless and does not require an invite code at this time. Users must define a username, password, and a numeric PIN for withdrawals. No email or personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or stored.

Security Architecture

PGP 2FA is a cryptographic challenge-response mechanism. When enabled, the server encrypts a unique code using the public key stored in your profile. You must decrypt this code using your private key and input it to verify your identity. This prevents unauthorized access even if password credentials are compromised.

Stealth Mode is a server-side setting available to Basic-Plus and Premium tiered users. When active, it suppresses the rendering of all listing images and vendor avatars. This significantly reduces bandwidth consumption, decreases page load times on congested circuits, and minimizes the data footprint for enhanced operational security.

All valid Torzon Market endpoints are cryptographically signed. Users should import the market's public PGP key and verify the digital signature provided on the login landing page. We also maintain a rotated list of verified mirrors on our Links page.

Financial Infrastructure

Torzon Market natively supports Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Monero is the recommended asset for privacy-conscious users due to its implementation of ring signatures and stealth addresses, which obfuscate sender, receiver, and transaction amounts on the blockchain.

To ensure transaction finality:
- Bitcoin: 1 confirmation required (approx. 10 minutes).
- Monero: 10 confirmations required (approx. 20 minutes).
Funds are automatically credited to the integrated wallet once these thresholds are met.

Torzon operates a centralized escrow system. Upon purchase, funds are locked in a multi-signature market wallet. The vendor is notified to ship but does not receive funds until the buyer marks the order as "Finalized." If the buyer is inactive, funds are auto-released after the timer (default: 14 days) expires.

Buyers: No platform fees on purchases. Standard network miner fees apply to withdrawals.
Vendors: A flat 4% commission is deducted from the total value of finalized orders. No listing fees or recurring subscription costs are applied.

Vendor & Order Protocols

To activate a vendor profile, users must register a distinct vendor account and remit a non-refundable bond of $300 USD (payable in BTC/XMR). Vendors must configure PGP keys for mandatory communication encryption and agree to the Terms of Service regarding prohibited listings.

Torzon Market enforces a zero-tolerance policy for listings involving: harm to minors (CSAM), human trafficking, fentanyl/carfentanyl, poisons/toxins, weaponry/explosives, and murder-for-hire services. Detection of such listings results in immediate account termination and bond seizure.

If an order is not received, the buyer must first extend the escrow timer. If the issue persists, the "Dispute" function becomes available. This freezes the escrow funds and summons a moderator. The moderator reviews communication logs and vendor proofs before manually allocating the funds to the correct party.

Technical Support

Tor network latency or DDoS attacks can render specific onion addresses unreachable. The Link Rotator system automatically cycles through a pool of verified mirrors to maintain uptime. If the main URL is unresponsive, consult the Links page for alternative entry points.

Security protocol mandates that administrators cannot manually reset passwords or PINs. Account recovery is exclusively possible via the mnemonic seed phrase issued at registration. If this seed is lost, the account is cryptographically inaccessible and considered abandoned.

No. For operational security, Torzon Market administration does not communicate via clearweb channels (email, social media, Telegram). All support tickets must be raised internally via the market's support desk.
