Import the Torzon public key (available in the footer) into your GPG keychain. When accessing any mirror, save the signed message provided on the landing page. Use the terminal command gpg --verify message.txt or your PGP GUI to confirm the signature matches our key ID. Never enter credentials on a mirror that fails verification.

The following V3 Onion addresses are cryptographically signed and rotated every 48 hours. Add these to your Tor browser bookmarks:

Javascript introduces significant attack vectors that can be used to deanonymize users or hijack sessions (XSS). Torzon is built to function entirely without client-side scripts. Set your Tor Browser security level to "Safest" to mitigate these risks.

We utilize a 2-of-3 multisig system. When an order is placed, funds are moved to a unique address generated by the keys of the Buyer, Vendor, and Market. Funds can only be released when 2 signatures are present (Buyer+Vendor for successful orders, or Market+Winner in disputes). This prevents exit scams and seizure.

Bitcoin (BTC): Requires 2 confirmations. Average time: 20-40 minutes.
Monero (XMR): Requires 10 confirmations. Average time: 20 minutes.
Do not open a support ticket regarding deposits until at least 60 minutes have passed and confirmations are visible on the blockchain.

Direct Pay: Generates a unique invoice address for a single order. Exact amount must be sent. Preferred for opsec as no residual funds remain on the market.
Wallet: Traditional deposit system where you hold a balance. Useful for frequent, smaller purchases.

To deter spam and scammers, all vendor applicants must pay a non-refundable bond of $300 USD equivalent in BTC or XMR. This bond is waived for established vendors from other markets who can prove ownership of their PGP key and have 500+ positive feedback.

No. Torzon utilizes a zero-knowledge architecture for credentials. We do not store your PIN or password in plaintext. If you lose your mnemonic seed, your account and any funds contained within are permanently inaccessible. There are no exceptions.
