Short answers to the questions people search around Tor markets and mirror URLs.
A directory that lists three active Tor markets in 2026 with their current onion addresses, mirror rotations and short reviews. We do not run any of the markets. We do not handle payments. We do not sell placement.
Every URL on this site is either present in the operator PGP-signed rotation announcement or already public in the market's own mirror manifest. We import each operator public key once and verify new signed announcements before an onion goes up here.
On no fixed schedule. Operators retire mirrors under sustained attack and add new ones when the pool drops below three. Cadence is roughly every few weeks per mirror, faster during active DDoS waves. When we see a signed rotation, we update the same day.
Pick Nexus for the widest vendor selection, Anubis for the cleanest dispute record, TorZon for the biggest mirror pool and the smoothest login queue. There is no single right answer, all three are defensible.
All three take Bitcoin and Monero. Anubis and Nexus also take Litecoin. Monero is the privacy default at every market and the coin we recommend when you can.
A deposit sits behind three keys held by buyer, seller and market. Any two together can move the coins. The market alone cannot exit-scam because it only holds one of the three keys. See the multisig guide for detail.
No. Onion addresses only resolve inside the Tor network. A VPN does not route .onion. Install Tor Browser from torproject.org, then paste any onion from this directory.
Try the next mirror on the same market page. All mirrors of the same market route to the same back-end so your account and open orders still work. If all mirrors of one market are down, check the operator Dread post for a new signed rotation.
No. No affiliate routing. No paid placements. No relationship with the market operators. The site exists to make address verification less painful, that is all.
We do not. This is a static directory. No ads, no premium tier, no vendor sponsorships. Server costs are trivial. If we ever change that, the change will be visible in the About page before it happens anywhere else.
