To access Mars Market, you need Tor Browser. Download it from the official website torproject.org, install it, and enter one of the .onion links provided on our homepage. Always use only verified links from trusted sources to avoid phishing sites.
Mars Market has been operating since 2022 with no exit scam incidents. The platform maintains a high trust rating among users, with over 50,000 successful transactions and 99.7% positive feedback. The escrow system protects both buyers and vendors.
Account & Registration
Registration on Mars Market is simple and anonymous. You only need to provide a username and password. No email address or personal information is required. The entire process takes less than 30 seconds. After registration, we recommend setting up PGP 2FA for additional security.
If you have PGP 2FA enabled, you can recover your account using your PGP key. Without PGP 2FA, password recovery is not possible as Mars Market does not collect any personal information. We strongly recommend using a password manager and enabling PGP 2FA.
No, creating multiple accounts is against Mars Market rules and may result in all accounts being banned. If you need separate buyer and vendor accounts, contact support for proper verification.
Payments & Cryptocurrency
Mars Market accepts Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Monero is recommended for maximum privacy due to its built-in anonymity features that make transactions untraceable. Bitcoin users should consider using mixing services for enhanced privacy.
Deposits are credited after network confirmations: 1 confirmation for Monero (about 2 minutes) and 2-3 confirmations for Bitcoin (about 20-30 minutes). During network congestion, times may be longer.
When you make a purchase, funds are held in Mars Market's secure escrow. The vendor ships the product, and you confirm receipt. Only then does the vendor receive payment. If there's a dispute, Mars Market arbitration resolves it fairly. This protects both buyers and vendors from fraud.
Mars Market charges a small commission on completed sales (paid by vendors). Deposits and withdrawals have standard network fees. There are no hidden fees for buyers.
Security & Privacy
Mars Market implements multiple security layers: end-to-end PGP encryption for messages, escrow protection for all transactions, PGP-based two-factor authentication, automatic data deletion after 14 days, and cold storage for 95% of cryptocurrency funds. There have been zero data breaches since launch.
Go to your account settings and upload your PGP public key. Once enabled, you'll need to decrypt a message with your private key each time you log in. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone knows your password.
Always bookmark the official link and verify the URL before entering credentials. Mars Market displays your personal security code on every page after login - if it's missing or wrong, you're on a phishing site. Never click links from unverified sources.
