Torzon Market Help Center

The torzon darknet infrastructure runs on the Tor network, which routes traffic through three random volunteer nodes (Guard, Middle, Exit/Rendezvous) around the world. This "onion routing" naturally adds latency compared to the clear web.

However, if the site is completely inaccessible, it is likely due to one of three reasons:

1. DDoS Attacks: Rival markets or extortionists frequently flood the torzon url with junk requests. In this case, the market's EndGame DDoS protection may present a "queue" screen. Be patient and do not refresh spam.
2. Circuit Rot: Your specific path through the Tor network might utilize a slow or overloaded node. Press Ctrl + Shift + L in Tor Browser to request a "New Circuit for this Site".
3. Maintenance: The dev team occasionally takes the backend offline for database optimization. Check trusted status aggregators (like DarkFail or HugBunter's list) to see if the downtime is global.

We strictly recommend keeping a local text file with at least 5 different verified torzon mirrors. If the main URL is under attack, the rotators often remain operational.

The torzon official architecture is decentralized. There isn't just one server; there is a cluster of frontend load balancers.

Main Address: This is the primary V3 onion address that is most widely advertised. It is robust but is also the primary target for attacks.

Rotator/Mirrors: These are alternative entry points into the same database. Think of them as different doors entering the same building. If the front door (torzon link main) is blocked by a crowd (DDoS), you can use a side door (Mirror). Your account data, wallet balance, and messages are synchronized across all mirrors instantly.

If you have enabled 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) on your torzon market account and subsequently lost your PGP Private Key, you have permanently lost access to that account.

Why? The torzon official system does not store your PGP key; it only stores your Public Key. To log in, the server encrypts a challenge message that only your Private Key can decrypt. The admins cannot decrypt this for you, nor can they disable 2FA without proof of identity (which is impossible to provide anonymously).

If you did not enable 2FA but simply used PGP for decrypting shipping info, you can still log in with your password and Mnemonic. However, you will not be able to read past messages encrypted with the old key. You must generate a new key pair and update your profile settings immediately.

The transition to a "Monero-Only" or "Monero-First" policy is driven by the surveillance capabilities of blockchain analytics firms (Chainalysis, Elliptic). Bitcoin (BTC) is a transparent ledger. Every transaction is traceable from the exchange (Coinbase/Binance) to the torzon wallet.

The Risk of BTC: Even if you use a "mixer," modern heuristics can often de-anonymize the transaction chain ("Dust Attack" or "Common Input Clustering").

The Solution (XMR): Monero uses Ring Signatures, RingCT, and Stealth Addresses.

• Ring Signatures: Mix your transaction with decoys at the protocol level.
• Stealth Addresses: Ensure that when you send XMR to a torzon link, the address on the blockchain is a one-time random string, not the market's actual wallet.

Using Monero renders your financial activity opaque to external observers, protecting both the buyer and the vendor.

This is a common support ticket on the torzon darknet. If your local wallet shows the transaction as "Confirmed" but the market balance is 0.0000 XMR, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the Address: Verify character-by-character that you sent funds to the address displayed on the /wallet page. A single typo or a "clipboard hijacker" malware could have redirected the funds.
2. Sync Delay: The market's backend daemon scans the blockchain for incoming transfers. During high traffic, the scanner may lag behind the blockchain by 30-60 minutes. If it has been less than 2 hours, please wait.
3. Phishing Check: Did you verify the torzon url PGP signature before depositing? Phishing sites generate fake deposit addresses. If you deposited to a phishing site, the funds are gone.

If you are certain the URL was valid and 4 hours have passed, open a support ticket providing the Transaction ID (TXID) and the TxKey (Transaction Secret Key) from your Monero wallet. Support needs the TxKey to prove on the blockchain that the funds were sent to the market's subaddress.

The torzon market utilizes a centralized Escrow system. When you place an order, your Monero is deducted from your wallet but not given to the vendor. Instead, it is held in the market's "Vault".

The funds remain in the Vault until one of two things happens:

• Finalization: You receive the product, inspect it, and click "Finalize Order". The funds are then released to the vendor.
• Auto-Finalize: If the timer expires (usually 14 days for physical goods) and you have not opened a dispute, the system assumes you received the item and releases funds automatically.

Disputes are handled by impartial torzon official moderators. To win a dispute (e.g., for non-arrival or poor quality), you cannot simply say "it didn't arrive." You must provide evidence.

Acceptable Evidence:

• Testing Results: If the product is low quality, a photo of reagent test results is strong evidence.
• Invalid Tracking: If the vendor provided a tracker that shows "Label Created" but no movement for 10 days.
• Seizure Letter: A photo of the "Love Letter" from customs/law enforcement (ensure you strip EXIF data before uploading).

Unacceptable Evidence: Chat logs from Telegram/Wickr. Moderators only consider communication that occurred within the torzon market encryption system. External chats can be faked and are disregarded.

Unlike open marketplaces, the torzon darknet has a strict vetting process. New vendors must pay a significant "Vendor Bond" (usually $500-$1000 in XMR). This bond is held by the market.

If a vendor scams users, their bond is confiscated and used to refund the victims. Additionally, vendors from other reputable markets (like Archetyp or Abacus) can apply for a "waiver" if they can prove ownership of their established PGP identities.

Despite these measures, "Exit Scams" (when a good vendor suddenly turns bad) can happen. Always check the most recent reviews (last 48 hours) before placing a large order.
