Is Dark Matter down?
Clear status: not a live market for deposits on this desk.
Direct answer
Yes — Dark Matter is offline / exit scam.
Dark Matter is marked exit scam from late September 2026 and treated as offline by 7 October 2026 on this desk, with keys/phishing risk on residual strings. Archive: /dark-matter-market-links/.
Canonical archive: /dark-matter-market-links/. Migration map: /dark-matter-alternatives/.
Do not deposit
Exit-scam archives are offline for deposits. Historical onion strings may still resolve to phishing kits because private keys leaked. Treat any “Dark Matter is back” ad as hostile until independently verified — which this desk has not done for a live reopen.

Torzon · Drug Hub · Catharsis · Omega · Black Ops · We The North
Torzon
High-volume English market. Escrow by default, BTC + XMR, rotating mirrors after DDoS weeks.
Drug Hub
Multi-mirror Drug Hub endpoints. Save all three onions — rotation after load or DDoS is routine.
Catharsis
Catharsis market link trio — new English desk listing; compare every character against clones.
Omega
Omega market onion set — bookmark the full trio; phishing kits follow new brand publicity fast.
Black Ops
Black Ops onion published. Expect name-squat clones; compare the full string before login.
We The North
Canada corridor market. Smaller catalog, long uptime culture, PGP messaging.
