Access & Identity

Drughub Market Online serves as the primary informational gateway and mirror directory for the decentralized DrugHub marketplace. Our mission is to provide users with secure, verified access points to the darknet ecosystem, mitigating the risks of phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.

We provide cryptographic verification resources, PGP public keys, and real-time status updates for the main market nodes. We do not host illegal content directly but facilitate secure connection to the underlying Tor hidden services.

Accessing DrugHub requires strict operational security protocol:

  1. Download and install the official Tor Browser from torproject.org.
  2. Set your Security Level to "Safest" (disables JavaScript entirely).
  3. Navigate to our Links page and copy a verified mirror.
  4. Paste the address into Tor. Never use clearweb proxies or gateways.

Warning: Never access darknet markets on a mobile device or standard browser. Use a dedicated workstation (Tails OS recommended).

DrugHub eliminates the vulnerability of stored passwords by using 2FA-only authentication. When you register, you provide your PGP Public Key.

The Login Process:
1. Enter your username.
2. The server presents an encrypted PGP message block.
3. You copy this block and decrypt it using your private key and passphrase on your local machine.
4. The decrypted message reveals a one-time code. Enter this code to log in.

This ensures that even if the server database is compromised, no login credentials can be stolen.

Financial Protocols

We exclusively accept Monero (XMR) to guarantee user anonymity. Unlike Bitcoin, which maintains a transparent public ledger traceable by chain analysis firms, Monero utilizes ring signatures, ring confidential transactions (RingCT), and stealth addresses.

This means the sender, receiver, and amount of every transaction are mathematically obfuscated. We believe financial privacy is a fundamental human right.

DrugHub employs a strict Escrow system for all standard orders. When you purchase an item, funds are held in a secure market wallet, not sent directly to the vendor.

  • Release: Funds are released only after you mark the order as "Received" or the auto-finalize timer expires (usually 14 days).
  • Dispute: If goods do not arrive or are poor quality, you must click "Dispute" before the timer ends. A moderator will then review shipping proofs and chat logs.
  • FE (Finalize Early): Only top-tier vendors with proven track records are allowed FE privileges. Use FE at your own risk.

DrugHub operates on a "Direct Pay" or "Walletless" model for many transactions to reduce on-chain fees, though a traditional wallet is available. There are no deposit fees charged by the market, only standard Monero network mining fees.

Order & Vendor Security

DrugHub maintains one of the strictest vendor vetting processes in the darknet. Applicants must provide proof of established reputation on other markets (Recon/Dread verification). New vendors without history must pay a substantial bond (up to $500 USD in XMR) and are restricted to Escrow-only transactions for 30 days.

YES. ALWAYS. While DrugHub offers an "Auto-Encrypt" feature, you should never rely on server-side encryption. Always manually encrypt your shipping details using the vendor's PGP public key on your own device before pasting the ciphertext into the order form.

This ensures that even if the market is seized or hacked, your personal information remains readable only by the vendor.

DrugHub enforces a strict harm reduction policy. The following are strictly prohibited and result in immediate vendor bans:

  • Fentanyl and Carfentanil (or analogs).
  • Weapons, explosives, and poisons.
  • Child exploitation material (CSAM).
  • Hitman services or violent threats.
  • Doxing or personal data leaks.
