Prerequisites

Before accessing Apocalypse Market, ensure you have the following:

Tor Browser installed from torproject.org
PGP software (Kleopatra, GPG4Win, or similar)
Cryptocurrency wallet (BTC or XMR)
Basic understanding of operational security

Step-by-Step Access Guide

Download Tor Browser

Visit torproject.org and download the official Tor Browser for your operating system. Never download from third-party sources as they may contain malware.

Install and Configure

Install Tor Browser and launch it. The default settings provide good security for most users. For enhanced privacy, consider using bridges if Tor is blocked in your region.

Navigate to Market

Copy the official onion URL from above and paste it into Tor Browser. Bookmark the page once loaded to avoid phishing sites in the future.

Create Account

Click Register and create your account. Choose a strong, unique password. You'll be required to set up PGP - this is mandatory for security purposes.

Set Up PGP

Generate a PGP keypair if you don't have one. Import the market's public key and add your public key to your profile. This enables encrypted communication.

Generate Wallet

Navigate to the wallet section and generate your deposit address. You can choose between Bitcoin (BTC) or Monero (XMR). XMR is recommended for better privacy.

Making Your First Purchase

Fund Your Wallet

Send cryptocurrency to your generated deposit address. Wait for confirmations - BTC typically needs 2-3, XMR needs 10. Never send directly from exchanges.

Browse Listings

Use search and filters to find products. Check vendor reviews, ratings, and feedback before purchasing. Look for vendors with high sales counts and positive feedback percentages.

Place Order

Select your item and quantity. Encrypt your shipping details with the vendor's PGP key before submitting. Never send unencrypted personal information.

Escrow Protection

Your funds are held in escrow until you confirm receipt. Only finalize after receiving your order. Dispute any issues before finalizing.

⚠️ Security Reminders: Never finalize early (FE) unless the vendor has explicit FE privileges. Always verify PGP signatures. Never share your login credentials. Use a unique password for this market only.

Vendor Registration

To become a vendor on Apocalypse Market:

Complete buyer registration first
Pay the $300 vendor bond (prevents scammers)
Set up your vendor profile with PGP key
Create well-formatted listings with original photos
Maintain good ratings to build reputation

Vendor fee is only 2% per transaction - one of the lowest in the market.
