TORZON KNOWLEDGE BASE
The official V3 documentation for troubleshooting, dispute resolution, and operational security on the Torzon darknet ecosystem.
General Access & Connectivity
What is the correct Torzon Market URL?
The integrity of your connection to the Torzon darknet depends entirely on the URL you use. The only valid addresses are V3 Onion links, which are 56 characters long and end in

.onion. We have retired all legacy V2 addresses due to security vulnerabilities in the Tor protocol.

TIP: Bookmark our verified mirrors page (`links.html`) locally on your machine. Do not rely on search engines like Google or Bing to find a Torzon link.
Why is the Torzon link loading slowly or timing out?
The Tor network routes traffic through three random nodes (Guard, Middle, Exit/Rendezvous) encrypted in layers. This architecture inherently introduces latency. Additionally, popular markets like Torzon Market are frequent targets of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks by competitors or extortionists.
If the main Torzon URL is unreachable, it does not imply the market has been seized or exit-scammed. We employ a robust "Hydra" infrastructure with rotating mirrors. Please try an alternative link from our verified list. If the site is under heavy load, enable the "Simple HTML" mode (if available) to reduce bandwidth usage.

Is it legal to browse Torzon Market?
Technically, browsing the Torzon darknet or any onion site is not illegal in most jurisdictions. The Tor Browser is a privacy tool used by journalists, activists, and researchers. However, purchasing controlled substances, digital goods, or services listed on the market may violate local laws.
Torzon operates as a neutral platform for peer-to-peer exchange. We do not log IP addresses, user locations, or browser fingerprints. Your activity on the Torzon official site is encrypted end-to-end, but users bear full responsibility for their actions.

Account, Login & Recovery
I lost my password. Can I recover my Torzon login?
Security on Torzon Market is prioritized over convenience. We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, or any personal data during registration. Therefore, "Forgot Password" links via email do not exist.
If you lose your password, the only way to recover your account is if you have previously added your PGP Public Key to your profile. You can request a "PGP Reset," where the system will present a challenge message encrypted with your key. You must decrypt it to prove ownership.

CRITICAL: If you lose your password AND your PGP private key, your account, reputation, and wallet balance are permanently lost. Support cannot assist you.
Why is my account asking for a 2FA code?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via PGP is the gold standard for darknet security. When enabled, the Torzon login screen will present an encrypted block of text instead of logging you in immediately.
Step-by-Step 2FA Login:
Step-by-Step 2FA Login:
- Copy the PGP block starting with `-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----`.
- Paste it into your PGP software (Kleopatra, GPG Suite, or Tails Terminal).
- Decrypt the message using your Private Key and passphrase.
- The decrypted text will contain a unique verification code (e.g., "Verification Code: X7Y9Z").
- Enter this code into the browser to complete the Torzon login process.
Why was my account banned immediately?
We employ aggressive anti-spam and anti-bot heuristics. If you register multiple accounts from the same Tor circuit in rapid succession, or if your username mimics a staff member (e.g., "Admin", "Mod", "TorzonSupport"), the system will auto-ban you. To resolve this, generate a new Tor identity (Ctrl+Shift+U) and register a new account with a unique username.
Deposits, Withdrawals & Monero
Why does Torzon Market force Monero (XMR)?
Bitcoin (BTC) is a transparent ledger. Blockchain analysis firms like Chainalysis can trace BTC from a regulated exchange (Coinbase, Binance) directly to a darknet market wallet, de-anonymizing you instantly.
Torzon darknet mandates Monero (XMR) because it is privacy-native. It uses Ring Signatures to hide the sender, Stealth Addresses to hide the receiver, and RingCT to hide the transaction amount. Using XMR ensures that your financial history remains opaque to surveillance.

My deposit is not showing up. Where is my money?
Deposits are not instant. The Monero blockchain requires 10 confirmations before funds are considered "unlocked" and credited to your Torzon wallet. This process typically takes 20 to 40 minutes, depending on network hashrate.
Common issues:
Common issues:
- Phishing: Did you verify the URL? Phishing sites generate fake deposit addresses to steal coins.
- Old Address: Torzon generates a new sub-address for every deposit. Never reuse an old address from your history.
- Sync Issues: Sometimes the market's wallet daemon is resyncing. If funds don't appear after 12 hours, open a ticket with your TXID and Private View Key.
How do I withdraw funds?
Navigate to the "Wallet" tab. Enter your external Monero address, your PIN code (set during registration), and the amount. Withdrawals from Torzon official are batched and processed through a mixer to further break linkability. Network fees are deducted dynamically.
Orders, Escrow & Disputes
How does the Torzon Escrow system work?
Trust is scarce in the darknet. Torzon Market uses a Multisig Escrow system. When you place an order, funds are moved to a holding wallet—not to the vendor. The vendor is notified to ship.
Once you receive the product, you must log in and click "Finalize Order." This releases the funds to the vendor. If you do nothing, the "Auto-Finalize" timer (usually 14 days for physical goods) will release funds automatically. Never let the timer run out if you haven't received your package.

What is "Finalize Early" (FE) and should I use it?
Finalize Early (FE) means releasing funds to the vendor before the item is shipped or received. This status is granted only to top-tier vendors on Torzon official who have proven reliability over thousands of sales.
WARNING: FE orders are non-refundable. If an FE vendor exit-scams, the market admins cannot recover your funds. Only use FE with vendors you implicitly trust.
Can I get a partial refund?
Yes. If an order arrives but is underweight, partially damaged, or incorrect, you do not need to demand a full refund. Open a dispute and propose a "Percentage Settlement" (e.g., 50% refund). If the vendor accepts this proposal, the escrowed funds are split immediately, and the dispute is closed without moderator intervention. This is often the fastest way to resolve minor issues on the Torzon darknet.
The vendor is in "Vacation Mode". What does this mean?
Vendors are human and need breaks. When "Vacation Mode" is active on a Torzon market profile, all listings are hidden to prevent new orders. However, the vendor can still access the site to process existing orders, reply to messages, and handle disputes. If you already placed an order, they are still obligated to ship it.
OpSec, PGP & Advanced Security
Is it safe to use the "Encrypt on Server" checkbox?
No. The "Encrypt" checkbox on the order page is a convenience feature for lazy users, but it is a security vulnerability. Using it requires you to send your address in plain text to the Torzon official server.
If our server is compromised or if you are on a MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) phishing site, your address is leaked. Always encrypt your shipping information LOCALLY using PGP (Kleopatra/GPG) on your own device, and only paste the resulting `-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----` block into the order form.

Do I need to clean metadata (EXIF) from my photos?
Absolutely. If you are a vendor uploading product photos, or a buyer uploading proof for a dispute, you must scrub metadata. Photos taken with smartphones contain GPS coordinates and device info.
While Torzon market scripts attempt to strip this data upon upload, you should never rely on server-side stripping. Use tools like MAT2 (Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit) on Tails OS to clean files before they ever touch the browser.

Can I use Torzon on Windows with a VPN?
SECURITY RISK: We strongly advise AGAINST using Windows for darknet activities.
Windows is a closed-source OS with extensive telemetry. A VPN only hides your traffic from your ISP, not from the OS itself. For true anonymity on the Torzon darknet, you should use Tails OS booted from a USB drive. Tails forces all connections through Tor and wipes the RAM on shutdown, leaving no forensic trace on your hardware.
Vendor Application & Selling Rules
How do I become a vendor on Torzon?
To ensure the quality of the marketplace, Torzon requires a vetting process. Navigate to the "Become a Vendor" tab. You will be required to pay a Vendor Bond (typically $500 USD in XMR). This bond is held to discourage scammers.
Waivers: If you are an established vendor on other markets (e.g., Archetyp, Abacus) with 500+ positive feedback, you may apply for a bond waiver. You must verify your identity by signing a message with your known PGP key from those markets.
