About TorZon Market

Short reference on the storefront, the escrow model, coin support, and the mirror rotation.

The storefront

TorZon Market is a Tor-only storefront active since the second half of 2023. Accessible only through the Tor Browser via one of the current onion addresses. There is no clearnet version and any site claiming to be one is a phishing operation.

Escrow

Every order settles through 2 of 3 multisig. Three keys, held by buyer, vendor, platform. Any two release. The platform key never moves in a normal order because the buyer and vendor sign the release themselves. If a dispute is raised, the platform arbitrates and signs with whichever side it judges correct.

Coin support

Bitcoin and Monero. Bitcoin was supported from launch, Monero was added in 2024 and has become the default for most new deposits. Both fund the same multisig escrow.

Mirror rotation

The operator maintains a rotating set of onion addresses. All addresses in the current set resolve to the same storefront with the same account, balance and order history. When one address rotates out, the others continue serving without interruption. See the mirrors page for the current set.
