Access Protocol V3

Official darkmatter-market operational guide.

VERIFIED BUILD: v2.4.9
STEP 01 // CONFIGURATION TOR NETWORK

Initialize Tor Environment

Access to the darkmatter-market infrastructure is restricted to the Tor network. Standard browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) cannot resolve .onion top-level domains. You must install the latest version of the Tor Browser to route your connection through encrypted nodes, ensuring IP obfuscation and location anonymity.

Requirement: Tor Browser 12.0+ or Tails OS
STEP 02 // CONNECTION ENTRY NODE

Establish Secure Connection

Use the verified V3 Onion Address below. This URL is cryptographically signed to prevent spoofing. Navigating to this address will initiate a handshake with the darkmatter-market server. Ensure you cross-reference this link with our PGP-signed message on the Mirrors page.

STEP 03 // VERIFICATION DDOS GUARD

Complete Access Challenge

Upon reaching the landing page, you will encounter the mitigation firewall. This system protects darkmatter-market from denial-of-service attacks. Solve the visual CAPTCHA or clockwork challenge to verify human presence. High latency (2-10 seconds) is expected during this phase due to the multi-hop onion routing protocol.

STEP 04 // REGISTRATION IDENTITY

Anonymous Account Creation

The registration process is designed for zero-knowledge privacy. No email or external identifiers are required. Follow this protocol:

Credentials

Select a unique username and a high-entropy password (min 12 chars). Do not reuse credentials from other markets.

Security PIN

Set a 6-digit PIN. This is required for all withdrawals and order confirmations. It cannot be reset.

CRITICAL WARNING: You will be issued a 12-word mnemonic seed. Write this down on physical paper immediately. It is the ONLY method to recover lost accounts. Admins cannot restore access.

STEP 05 // ENCRYPTION PGP / 2FA

Hardening Account Security

After your first login, navigate to User Settings > Security. Import your PGP Public Key. This enables PGP Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), requiring you to decrypt a random message to log in. This makes your account mathematically impossible to breach without your private key, even if your password is compromised.

Always verify URL signatures before login.
