Verify a Market Address
Paste any darknet market .onion address below to check it against our verified directory. The checker normalizes protocols and trailing slashes automatically.
How Address Verification Works
Dark web markets frequently change onion addresses due to seizures, exit scams, and infrastructure migrations. Phishing clones copy legitimate market interfaces to steal credentials and funds, making address verification the single most important security step before accessing any market.
Our checker compares your pasted address against a curated directory of addresses published and cross-referenced across this site. A VERIFIED result means the exact address appears in our directory. An UNVERIFIED result means we have no record of it — which does not necessarily mean the address is malicious, only that it is not in our directory.
Why Addresses Change
- Law enforcement seizures: Servers are periodically seized in operations across the US and Europe, forcing markets to migrate.
- DDoS attacks: Markets rotate addresses to shed malicious traffic and maintain availability.
- Exit scams: Some addresses disappear permanently when operators disappear with escrowed funds.
- Security migrations: Markets voluntarily rotate addresses after suspected compromises.
Best Practices Before Accessing
Cross-check multiple sources
Confirm the address on at least two independent sources before trusting it.
Check PGP signatures
Verify any signed address announcements using the market's published PGP key.
Avoid shortened or modified links
Phishing often relies on subtly altered addresses — always compare the full string.
Use a dedicated device or VM
Isolate dark web browsing from your main identity and daily-use accounts.
