Before You Begin

Accessing TorZon Darknet requires specific software and a focus on operational security (OpSec). Do not attempt to access the marketplace using a standard browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or without a VPN if you are in a restrictive jurisdiction. Follow these steps sequentially to ensure the safety of your funds and identity.

Prerequisites: A computer (Linux/Tails OS recommended), Tor Browser installed, and a basic understanding of cryptocurrency (Bitcoin or Monero).

Environment Setup

You cannot access .onion sites on the clearnet. You must configure a secure environment first.

Download Tor Browser ONLY from the official project site (torproject.org).
Once installed, open Tor Browser and navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security.
Set the Security Level to "Safer". This disables JavaScript on non-HTTPS sites and prevents many common browser fingerprinting attacks.

Accessing TorZon Market

Phishing is the #1 threat on the darknet. Always use a verified link.

Official V3 Onion URL

Upon loading the page, you will be presented with a DDoS protection captcha. This may involve:

Rotating a circle to match an alignment.
Identifying characters in a matrix.
Solving a "Clock" captcha puzzle.

Account Creation

Click "Register" on the main page. Choose a username that is completely unrelated to your real identity or other online handles.

CRITICAL SECURITY WARNING

During registration, you will be given a Mnemonic Seed or PIN Code. You MUST save this immediately (preferably offline/on paper). If you lose your password, this is the ONLY way to recover your account or withdraw funds. Admins cannot reset passwords.

PGP Setup

Before depositing any money, secure your account.

Generate a PGP Key pair using GPG4Win (Windows) or GPG Suite (Mac).
Go to your TorZon Account Settings.
Paste your Public Key into the designated field.
Verify the key by decrypting the test message provided by the market.
Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). This ensures that even if your password is stolen, no one can log in without your PGP private key.

Deposit Funds

Navigate to the Wallet tab in the user dashboard.

Bitcoin (BTC) Requires 2 Blockchain Confirmations (~20 mins). Widely accepted but traceable.

Monero (XMR) Requires 10 Confirmations (~20 mins). Highly recommended for privacy.

Click "Generate Address" and send the exact amount you wish to deposit. Do not use this address more than once.

Making a Purchase

Browse the categories or use the search bar. Always check the Vendor Level and recent Feedback before purchasing.

Checkout Process:

1. Select quantity and shipping option.
2. Click "Buy Now".
3. CRITICAL: In the shipping address box, DO NOT paste plain text.
4. Import the Vendor's PGP Public Key.
5. Encrypt your name/address with the vendor's key.
6. Paste the PGP block (Starting with -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----) into the box.

Order Finalization

Your funds are now in Escrow. This means TorZon is holding the money, not the vendor.

• Wait for the item to be marked "Shipped".
• Once the physical item arrives, log back in and click "Finalize Order". This releases the funds to the vendor.
• WARNING: Never "Finalize Early" (FE) unless you trust the vendor 100%. If you FE and the package never arrives, you have no recourse.
• If the package does not arrive within the escrow time limit, click "Extend Escrow" or "Dispute".

OpSec Reminder

Never communicate with vendors outside the marketplace (e.g., Telegram, Wickr). If a vendor asks to deal off-site, it is likely a scam.
