Secure Access Protocols
A comprehensive technical guide for establishing a secure connection to the DarkMatter Market Wiki infrastructure. Follow these steps to ensure cryptographic integrity and network anonymity.
Network Environment Configuration
Before attempting connection, the client environment must be secured to prevent IP leaks and browser fingerprinting.
Tor Browser
Download only from the verified project source. Do not use VPNs alongside Tor unless configured with a bridge.
Security Slider
Navigate to Shield Icon > Settings. Set Security Level to "Safer" or "Safest" to disable JIT compilation.
Verified Connection
Access the infrastructure using the PGP-signed V3 Onion address. Always verify the URL matches the signed message found in the Links section.

Identity & Credential Management
The platform utilizes a mnemonic-based recovery system. There is no email recovery.
-
RANDOM CREDENTIALS Generate a unique username and password not used on other services.
-
MNEMONIC STORAGE Upon registration, you will be shown a mnemonic seed. Write this down physically. It is the ONLY way to recover a lost account. Support cannot reset passwords.
PGP Encryption Protocol
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is mandatory for 2FA and secure communication.
Import Public Key
Navigate to your profile settings and paste your public PGP ASCII armor key.
Enable 2FA
Activate Two-Factor Authentication. The system will challenge you to decrypt a random message upon every login.
Wallet Architecture
The platform infrastructure heavily relies on Monero (XMR) due to its ring signature privacy features.
DEPOSIT PROTOCOL
Generate a new address for every deposit. Do not send XMR to an old address. The system scans the blockchain for incoming transactions.
CONFIRMATION TIME
Deposits require 10 confirmations on the Monero blockchain before appearing in the balance. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
Transaction Lifecycle
Understanding the escrow system is critical for preventing loss of funds.
Initiation
Funds are locked in the market escrow wallet when an order is placed.
Finalization
Release funds (Finalize) ONLY after the product has been received and verified. Never finalize early (FE) unless the vendor has established trust.
Dispute
If an issue arises, extend the auto-finalize timer and open a dispute for moderator intervention.
