About Prime Market

Prime Market is a privacy-focused darknet marketplace accessible via Tor. It supports both Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR), with an escrow system that holds funds during active orders and releases them only after the buyer finalizes. The market has been built with operational security in mind — deposit addresses expire after 6 hours, accounts require a mnemonic backup key, and PGP encryption is mandatory for vendors.

The official onion address is the only guaranteed-authentic link to the market. Always verify you're using the correct URL before entering any credentials. If you're researching darknet marketplaces more broadly, you'll find useful context at trusted darknet resources like DauntLink, which aggregates verified market links and news, or the NZ Darknet Hub for broader coverage across active markets.

Quick Facts

Accepted Cryptocurrencies

Prime Market accepts Bitcoin and Monero. Monero is recommended — it's harder to trace and confirmation times tend to be faster for practical use. BTC requires 1 confirmation; XMR requires 2. Neither currency incurs a market-side fee on withdrawal; you only pay the network transaction fee.
