System Knowledge Base
Protocol documentation, security guidelines, and operational procedures for the Torzon Market ecosystem.
Platform Overview
Torzon Market is a sophisticated darknet marketplace engineered for anonymity and security. Established in late 2022, the platform connects over 52,000 verified users with 1,450+ vetted vendors. We facilitate secure trade using Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR), underpinned by an advanced escrow system and mandatory PGP encryption standards to guarantee operational integrity.
Access requires the Tor Browser to resolve our .onion hidden service addresses. Standard clear-net browsers are incompatible. Users must download the Tor Browser from the official project site. Always verify you are using a signed mirror from our official Mirrors page. Verify the PGP signature of the landing page before inputting credentials.
Registration is open to the public. Navigate to the registration page and generate a unique username and a cryptographically strong password. You must also define a 6-digit PIN for sensitive account actions (withdrawals, setting changes). Post-registration, adding a PGP public key is mandatory for account recovery and activating 2FA.
Yes. We offer 'Basic-Plus' and 'Premium' membership tiers. Upgrading grants substantial operational benefits including priority support tickets, access to low-latency VIP mirrors, reduced withdrawal fees, and extended escrow timers (up to 45 days). Upgrades are processed instantly via wallet balance and are non-refundable.
Security Protocols
Safety is our primary architectural focus. We employ mandatory PGP Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), strict session management, and a zero-knowledge wallet system. However, operational security (OpSec) is a shared responsibility. Users must disable JavaScript (Safest Security Level), encrypt all sensitive data locally before transmission, and never reuse credentials across different marketplaces.
Tor network instability is inherent to the protocol. If a primary node is unreachable, consult our Mirrors page for alternative entry nodes. Our infrastructure utilizes a rotary load balancer to maintain uptime. Only trust mirrors signed by the Torzon PGP key.
Stealth Mode optimizes the interface for low-bandwidth environments and enhances privacy. It disables all product imagery and rich media, serving a text-only version of the marketplace. This prevents image-based fingerprinting and significantly accelerates page loads on congested Tor circuits.
Financial Operations
We exclusively support cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Bitcoin offers liquidity and ease of use, while Monero provides superior privacy via ring signatures and stealth addresses. We support both traditional wallet deposits (On-Chain) and Direct Pay (invoice-based) checkout for maximum flexibility.
Our Escrow System acts as a neutral third-party holding mechanism. When a purchase is initiated, funds are deducted from the buyer and held in a multi-signature wallet. The vendor ships the order. Funds are released to the vendor only when the buyer confirms delivery or the 14-day auto-finalization timer expires. Disputes freeze this timer and summon a moderator for arbitration.
Deposits are credited automatically upon blockchain confirmation. Bitcoin (BTC) requires 1 confirmation (~10 minutes). Monero (XMR) requires 10 confirmations (~20 minutes) to prevent chain reorganization attacks. Delays are typically due to network congestion; always check the blockchain explorer before contacting support.
Buyers pay 0% fees on deposits and purchases. Vendors are subject to a competitive 4% commission on finalized sales. Withdrawals incur a dynamic network mining fee, calculated based on current blockchain congestion, to ensure timely processing.
Vendors & Logistics
Vendor status requires a separate application and payment of a $300 USD non-refundable bond. This barrier to entry ensures only serious merchants operate on Torzon. Applicants must demonstrate prior experience on other markets or provide proof of stock. Vendor accounts are subject to strict performance metrics regarding uptime and dispute rates.
We enforce a strict Harm Reduction policy. Prohibited items include: Child Exploitation Material (CSAM), Fentanyl/Carfentanyl and related analogues, poisons/toxins, weaponry/explosives, and murder-for-hire services. Violations result in immediate bans and permanent blacklisting of PGP keys and identities.
Initiating a dispute halts the auto-finalization timer. A secure chat channel opens between buyer, vendor, and moderator. Evidence (tracking numbers, chat logs, photos) must be submitted within 24 hours. Moderators adjudicate based on the provided evidence and vendor history. Frivolous disputes by buyers may result in account penalties.
Technical Support
Support is accessible via the internal ticketing system for registered users. Tickets are triaged by urgency; payment issues receive priority. Response times average 4-12 hours. Do not create duplicate tickets as this resets your queue position.
Your PIN is a critical security component. If PGP 2FA is enabled, you may reset your PIN by decrypting a challenge message. If PGP is not configured or the private key is lost, the account is irrecoverable. This policy is absolute to prevent social engineering attacks against support staff.
