Q: Can you give a general introduction to Dark Matter market is it walletless? What features does it have for buyers and sellers?

Dark Matter was created by Blackmask, the market founder and sys admin. Blackmask and I crossed paths a few months after he launched the project and we began working together to grow the market.

At Dark Matter, we strive to be the most technologically advanced marketplace of our generation. We are the first ever, and still only, marketplace to offer an XMR Multi Sig payment option. While it isn’t particularly user friendly, its an example about how we are always trying to push the limits of tech. Dark Matter Market is XMR only, offers anonymous/accountless ordering, integrated harm reduction, integrated standalone vendor shop subscriptions and integrated standalone escrow service. We are also the first and only market to have a secret shopper campaign in which we perform randomized purchases from vendors and have their drugs lab tested through participating volunteers. Lab test results are then conspicuously posted on vendor listings.

We are also the longest running market on Dread’s superlist.

Dark Matter is also completely walletless. What this means is that we do not utilize a central deposit wallet to store funds outside of individualized escrow addresses for each order. When an order is finalized or canceled, the XMR is immediately sent to the vendor’s wallet or the buyer’s wallet. We don’t hold any user funds except during the time of escrow. This keeps users funds safer and mitigates potential losses if we were ever seized

Q:I see that you have hit 100k users on the platform, what is your vision for the market in the future? How do you see your market progressing and growing in six to twelve months?

We actually have substantially more than 100k users, its worth noting that a large amount of our user volume uses accountless ordering. But yes, we did have 100k registered users. We are already about 10k over that and going up every day. Our vision for the future is simple, we intend to be the longest running darknet market in history. We believe that the glory days of the darknet are coming to a close and we want to be remembered as the last great darknet market.

In six to twelve months, we will still be here and still be the #1 darknet market. Same thing in two years and onward.

Q: Why do you believe that the glory days of the darknet are coming to a close?

Over regulation on what can and cant be sold (for understandable reasons, but still its contradictory to the original intent of the darkweb), increased global LE scrutiny on the darkweb, reduction in userbase in favor of more user friendly options like telegram shops. I think the darkweb has actually constricted in the last few years and that’s why we think we will be remembered as the last great DNM

Q: Any interesting experiences you can share as a market admin?

Its been an interesting and powerful experience to see some users and vendors who joined us since Day 1 continue to be on the market now years later and to watch their sales grow as we grow. We value those users truly the most.

Q: Has Dark Matter Market been attacked by ddos recently?
We are always being attacked by ddos off and on. Our opinion is not to give it attention so its not even worth mentioning.

Q: What Harm reduction measures has the market adopted?

We are the only market to ever offer an integrated harm reduction program. Through paid partners, we hire users to purchase products randomly from vendors and then submit them to a lab testing facility we have a partnership with. We then post the results monthly on the market news, on dread and also on the respective vendor listings.

Q: What are the rules on Fentanyl?

We dont allow products titled as fentanyl. In truth, I wish that we could have less restrictions because the point of the darkweb is free market but the open sale of fentanyl causes too much LE attention and would be contradictory to our mission of being online for a long time. But we also understand the reality that many vendors products in the opiate category probably contain fentanyl and the vendors themselves may not even really be aware. That is why we employ the secret shopper harm reduction policy.

Q: How much is a vendor bond for new Vendors?

2.5 XMR and we do not waive the bond for anyone. If you are an established vendor, we would be happy to have you on the market and we expect that you can easily pay 2.5 XMR. If you are a new vendor, you should consider 2.5 XMR a necessary startup cost.

Q: Any opsec tips you would want new users to take on board when using your market?

For the average buyer, opsec mostly starts with common sense but the most important lesson I can impart to everyone is to use XMR.

Q: How much do vendor stores cost?

Vendor stores cost 150 USD per month as a subscription with increased costs based on ddos protection needs or number of mirrors

Q: Anything else you want to add to our readers?

Dark Matter Market is officially the longest running market on Dread’s superlist with 1100+ days online of stable access and we plan to be remembered as the last great and longest running market in darknet history. Our success is a product of our hard-working founder and sys admin, Blackmask, our extremely dedicated support mods who provide round-the-clock support to all users, our vendors who trust us with their money in escrow on a daily basis and believe in us enough to conduct sales on our platform and – perhaps most of all – our buyers who come to our site daily and fuel the darkweb economy. If anyone reading this is not yet a user on Dark Matter, we cordially invite you to come to our site and find out why Dark Matter is the most powerful market in the galaxy.
