Wallet Architecture & Anonymity
The Torzon Market wallet is a sophisticated financial instrument designed to sever the link between your real-world identity and your darknet activities. Unlike public crypto exchanges that require KYC (Know Your Customer), our system is entirely permissionless.
We employ a Custodial Wallet system with segregated cold storage for user funds. This means when you deposit funds, they are moved to secure offline wallets to prevent theft from hot wallet hacks. However, for maximum security during trades, we offer Multisig Escrow (Multisignature), which puts the control of funds directly into the hands of the buyer and vendor, minimizing trust in the marketplace itself.
Depositing Funds: A Step-by-Step Guide
Funding your account is the first step to trading. Please follow these instructions precisely to avoid loss of funds. We support both Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR).

Your Unique Deposit Address (One-Time Use):
⏳ Confirmations Required: 2 (BTC) / 10 (XMR)
Go to the "Wallet" tab and click "Generate Address". This creates a fresh address linked to your account. Never reuse old addresses. This is crucial for Coin Control and privacy.
Send funds from your personal wallet (e.g., Electrum, Cake Wallet). DO NOT send directly from an exchange like Binance or Coinbase. They monitor for darknet patterns and will freeze your account.
The network must validate the transaction. For Bitcoin, this takes about 20-30 minutes (2 confirmations). For Monero, it takes about 20 minutes (10 confirmations). Torzon has no control over this speed; it depends on the blockchain load.
Once confirmed, our system automatically scans the blockchain and updates your balance. You can now browse the Torzon vendors list and make purchases.
Why Monero (XMR) is Mandatory for OpSec
While Bitcoin is popular, it is a public ledger. Every transaction is visible to everyone forever. Companies like Chainalysis specialize in tracking Bitcoin flows from markets to exchanges.
Monero (XMR) solves this by using advanced cryptography to obfuscate every part of the transaction:
Ring Signatures
Mixes your transaction output with other decoys from the blockchain, making it mathematically impossible to identify the true sender.
Stealth Addresses
Generates a one-time public key for every transaction. The receiver's actual wallet address never appears on the blockchain.
RingCT
Ring Confidential Transactions hide the *amount* sent. An observer sees a transaction happened, but cannot see if it was 1 XMR or 1000 XMR.
Kovri / I2P
Obfuscates the IP address of the node broadcasting the transaction, adding a network layer of anonymity.
Multisig Escrow: Trustless Trading
Multisig (Multisignature) is the gold standard for darknet transactions. It ensures that no single party—including Torzon Market administrators—can steal the funds. We utilize a standard 2-of-3 Multisig scheme.
How it works:
A specialized Bitcoin address is created using three public keys:
- Key 1 (Buyer): Generated by your Electrum wallet.
- Key 2 (Vendor): Provided by the seller's profile.
- Key 3 (Market): Provided by Torzon.
To spend funds from this address (release to vendor or refund to buyer), 2 out of 3 signatures are required.
Scenario A (Success): Buyer receives goods -> Buyer signs + Vendor signs -> Vendor gets paid.
Scenario B (Dispute): Buyer claims non-delivery -> Market investigates -> Market signs with Buyer -> Buyer gets refunded.
Scenario C (Exit Scam): Market shuts down -> Buyer signs + Vendor signs -> Funds are recovered without the market.
Internal Bitcoin Mixer (Tumbler)
If you must use Bitcoin, Torzon provides an integrated Bitcoin Mixer. When you withdraw funds or make a payment, our system does not send the exact coins you deposited. Instead, it "shuffles" your coins with those of thousands of other users.
This breaks the "taint" analysis trail. However, this is a centralized service and requires trust in the market. For absolute privacy, you should mix your coins before sending them to Torzon (using CoinJoin or Whirlpool) or, ideally, just use Monero.
Common Wallet Issues & Troubleshooting
Transaction Stuck (Unconfirmed)
If your deposit is not showing up, check the Transaction ID (TXID) on a block explorer. If the fee paid was too low (sat/vB), miners may ignore it during congestion.
Solution: Use "Replace-By-Fee" (RBF) in your wallet to bump the fee, or use "Child-Pays-For-Parent" (CPFP). Torzon cannot speed up the blockchain.
"Invalid Address" Error
Ensure you are not sending BCH (Bitcoin Cash) or BSV to a BTC address. Also, check address formats. Torzon uses SegWit (Bech32, starting with 'bc1') addresses for lower fees. Older wallets may need to be updated to support this.
Phishing Warning
Scammers create fake Torzon mirrors that generate fake deposit addresses. Always verify the PGP signature of the URL you are visiting. If you deposit to a phishing site, the funds are lost forever.
