Revenue structure
The market earns income through simple transaction fees. A five percent commission applies to every completed trade. A one percent withdrawal fee deducts from funds leaving the platform. There is no deposit fee when moving coins into your account. These rates stay fixed regardless of volume. No hidden subscriptions or monthly membership costs exist in the design.
Role of this clearnet site
This website serves as an informational hub only. It lists current mirror addresses for convenience. It provides static documents like PGP keys and usage guides. It does not process payments or manage user profiles. Your actual account data resides on the Tor backend servers. Deleting this clearnet site would not affect your ability to buy or sell. Think of it as a roadside map rather than the destination itself.
Users interact with the real market strictly through encrypted connections. The separation keeps this page lightweight and less attractive to attackers targeting live databases. The two sites are maintained separately to minimize cross contamination between systems operating on different network layers.
Launch context
Entering the scene in early 2024 placed the market alongside newer competitors facing similar challenges. Security priorities drove many initial design choices. Stability mattered more than feature richness during the first year. Current infrastructure reflects lessons learned from earlier instability. Continuous monitoring remains central to keeping uptime high across all server nodes.
FAQ
When exactly did the market launch?
Early 2024 marked the start of public trading. Private testing occurred months prior without outside involvement. The official public release coincided with the stabilization of the core escrow mechanisms.
Who owns the company behind it?
Ownership remains anonymous to protect operational security. Legal entities vary by jurisdiction for compliance reasons. No single named individual holds a controlling stake in a traditional business registry.
Is the clearnet page legally responsible for trades?
No, liability sits with the Tor hosted entity where transactions occur. This page acts as a pointer to that entity. Legal claims regarding purchased goods direct toward the primary marketplace, not this informational portal.
How frequently do mirrors change?
Updates happen roughly every few months, or sooner if threats emerge. Old addresses get deprecated after a grace period. Checking this page regularly ensures you always have fresh entry points.
