TorZon Market FAQ

Short answers to the questions readers ask most about TorZon.

What is TorZon Market?

TorZon Market is a Tor-only storefront active since the second half of 2023. Accessible only through the Tor Browser at a current onion address. Accepts Bitcoin and Monero. Escrow runs on 2 of 3 multisig on every order.

How do I access TorZon Market?

Install the Tor Browser from torproject.org, set the security level to Safest, copy a current onion address from the mirrors page, and open it in the address bar. A regular browser cannot open a .onion address.

What is the current TorZon Market URL?

There is no single permanent onion. The operator rotates a small set of addresses. All resolve to the same storefront. Copy a current one from the mirrors page rather than typing a fifty-six character string from memory.

How does the TorZon escrow work?

Every order settles through 2 of 3 multisig. Three keys, held by buyer, vendor and platform. Any two release. In a normal order, buyer and vendor sign and the coin releases without the platform key ever moving.

What coins does TorZon accept?

Bitcoin and Monero. Monero is the default for new deposits since 2024 because most Canadian and international buyers prefer its privacy properties. Bitcoin remains fully supported.

How do I verify a rotation?

Import the operator PGP key once, run gpg --verify on the signed rotation message, compare the onion inside to the current mirror list. Signature good means the address is trustworthy.

Why does the mirror set rotate?

Rotation absorbs takedown pressure, DDoS pressure, and introduction-point wear. Each address in the set carries traffic while others rotate in and out. Bookmark the mirrors page rather than a single address to stay current across rotations.

What if a TorZon mirror is down?

Switch to the next address in the current set. Every mirror leads to the same account, balance, and order history, so a slow or flooded entry never locks you out.
