21 Empire Market Alternatives | Tor2Door Market | Kingdom Marketplace | DarkMatter

Empire Market alternatives aren’t all that abundant now, are they?

Sure, there are “marketplaces” which exist.

And most articles on the web simply list these darkweb marketplaces as Empire Market alternatives.

In doing so, they literally diminish the stature and level Empire Market has elevated itself up to.

In my personal opinion, in order to be called an Empire Market alternative, they must embody at least some of Empire’s features.

Be it the reputation, trust, security features, products (either quantity or type), age, payment modes, and so on.

Basically, anything which screams “legitimate, darknet market” and not a scam.

So, I’ve compiled for you 10 of the best Empire Market alternatives today.

But before that, some key points I’d like to discuss.

Secure yourself before accessing these sites like Empire Market

I’ll keep it brief.

You need Tor browser, and a VPN.

The Tor browser serves dual purposes, it hides your real IP address by routing your traffic through various Tor nodes.

And then, it makes it possible to access these .onion links.

But, Tor browser isn’t “secure”. Or, as secure as most take it to be.

Hence, never access any website like Empire Market without the best of the best VPNs.

Something like NordVPN is my personal choice. It has an “audited and verified” no-logs policy. It also is the fastest VPN in the industry (due to its Wireshark protocol).

 

Disclaimer: I only access these Darknet markets for research. So I can compare them, learn about them, and share the information with you. But, never have I ever traded on a Darknet Market. That’s illegal. Do not buy/sell/trade on Darknet Markets. Doing so will solely be your own responsibility.

When talking of Empire Market alternatives, a market with over 20,000+ listings totally comes to mind, doesn’t it? Not just that, it’s a market that accepts Bitcoin  + Monero and even has an in-built exchange for swapping the two Cryptocurrencies.

The coin exchange isn’t free though, it’s charged at 2% /transaction. The market, even though isn’t wallet-less, does offer multisig transactions which boosts trust. Leftover funds can be withdrawn.  Users can choose the speed of the withdrawal, based on this speed, the withdrawal fee differs.

After paying the $500.00+ vendor sign up fee, anyone can start selling on the market. Established vendors do not have to make this payment. “Per sale” commission is set at 5%/sale. This is only paid by the vendors.

For security, there’s the PIN as well as 2-FA.

Kindgom Market

Tor URL: http://kingdomm7v6yed55o2rbspvs4exn5bzfxdizqaav27tw6gw4zc65vdad.onion

Kingdom Market is one of the oldest markets currently in existence. Registration is mandatory to view the market or its products.

Its nearly 35000 product listings are proof of its time and strength in the industry. Everything that a dark web market should sell, is supposedly sold. These include drugs, services, documents, carded items, counterfeit currency and so much more.

The security features are impressive. There’s a login phrase, a security PIN and of course the passwords. Just after sign up, a mnemonic key is presented that helps recover accounts if and when required.

It’s not wallet-less and requires users to deposit either Bitcoin, Monero or Litecoin on the account wallet prior to purchase.

There’s also a 1% deposit fee, with a minimum deposit requirement of 5 EUR. Vending is open for all, requires a 500 EUR non-refundable deposit.

DarkMatter Marketplace

Tor Link: http://darkmat3kdxestusl437urshpsravq7oqb7t3m36u2l62vnmmldzdmid.onion/

DarkMatter is a 1.5 year old darknet market that doesn’t demand registration for viewing or accessing the market. You get viewing access to the products without signing up. The problem is, it has the world’s most frustrating and confusing captcha you’ll ever see, ever!

As of today, it has about 3500 listed products. While that’s not impressive, it’s still an acceptable number. It didn’t limit itself in terms of product variety. Drugs, fraud, documents, software, digital products and a lot more can be found here.

Security is taken care of, there’s multisig, 2-FA, a personal phrase as well as a security PIN. A mnemonic is auto-generated as well which lets you recover your account. Even auto-session expiry can be set, as low as 30minutes and as long as 24 hours.

Its biggest selling point is that it’s wallet-less! Yes, no advance deposits required. Users can place orders directly from third-party wallets. It only accepts XMR for payments.

Vendors are accepted for 2 XMR. It’s refundable. Free vendor accounts are provided  to established vendors.

Tor URL:  http://torzon4kv5swfazrziqvel2imhxcckc4otcvopiv5lnxzpqu4v4m5iyd.onion

TorZon isn’t big on the no. of products, that’s because it’s only days old. For now, it has over about 500 products but the number shouldn’t matter much as it’s increasing every day.

The available product categories are pretty satisfactory. You’ve got drugs, fake documents, counterfeit items, carded items and so on.

It accepts both Bitcoin and Monero for payment.  Payments can’t be made directly from external wallets, advance deposits are required to the market wallet.

The only market that offers completely optional “paid accounts”. 2 plans exist, each offering better support and more features.  Vendor bond set at $25.00.

There’s even a Raffle you can join, the market donates a fraction of all its earnings to the raffle pool.

Searching for Empire Market alternative, aren’t you ? Well, World Market more than qualifies. First, it’s wallet-less just like Empire Market. But, more importantly, it has an autoshop just like Empire Market did. World Market too sells cards and bank accounts via its autoshop.

Again, alike Empire Market, World Market too accepts Bitcoins. However, it doesn’t accept some of the other Cryptocurrencies that Empire Market accepted.

The security features too majorly resemble. The 2-FA protects against password hacks, security PIN protects against unauthorized withdrawals and the auto-generated Mnemonic code recovers accounts.

The one Empire Market feature World Market doesn’t have (yet) is the login phrase. But, that probably will change in the future.

As of today, it has around 800 individual listings, majorly dominated by the “Drugs” category. The vendor fee is set at just $50.00.

Torrez Market

Tor URL:  http://lstkx6p3gzsgfwsqpntlv7tv4tsjzziwp76gvkaxx2mqe3whvlp243id.onion

Torrez Market is probably one of the most innovative and feature-rich market in the industry. The primary attraction and unique selling point is it dual-wallet system. Meaning, you can either use its wallet-less mode, or use the centralized wallet on the market to make deposit.

Furthermore, the market also offers another rare mechanism, “multisig” transactions. If you’re new, just know these are more secure than normal transactions.

It also is one of the few markets which accepts multiple Cryptocurrencies for payments. On Torrez, BTC, LTC, LTC and XMR can be used to make payments. Independent vendors are accepted, the vending fee is set at USD 250.00. Obviously, there’s also a commission per sale which is 4%-5% depending on the vendor level.

Product categories include Drugs, services, digital products, fake documents (both physical and digital), cards and basically everything in between. Obviously, you can’t buy or sell underage porn, weapons and a few other restricted items.

Another unique and rare feature is its TOTP. These are temporary OTPs that not many markets offer. 2-FA via PGP and the standard security PIN available as well.

Liberty Market

Tor URL: liberty6o7lubin4t2nzyebylmk4l4xfw6kk2o5xhg3fahqoatfiprqd.onion

Liberty Market can be used to buy any and everything with only a handful of exceptions. The exceptions include Fentanyl, illegal porn, weapons and personal information.

As Empire Market did, Liberty Market too sells drugs, counterfeit items, shady services and everything else. It accepts payments via Bitcoin and Monero. Deposits smaller than 0.0005BTC aren’t accepted.

Independent vendors are allowed and accepted. Vendor accounts aren’t free. The no. of listings isn’t impressive, but that’s because it’s a very new marketplace (<1 week old).  The interface is pretty common and hence friendly for newcomers as well as veterans alike.

Escrow as well as F.E available, however, the latter is only for reputed vendors. 2-FA via PGP can be enabled and is mandatory for vendors. A security PIN can be used to authenticate transactions.

Corona Market

Tor URL: coronhls55k7oo3mzzwf3xlketww6rgdpxtpoxv3yogtvjiboohytuqd.onion

Corona Market brings a new user-interface to the industry. As for products, the total stock stands at around 4000 as of today. Categories include Drugs (859 listings), Digital products (952 listings), Guides and Tutorials (897 listings) and many other products with fewer items.

Registration is mandatory but is 100% free and doesn’t require invites. For purchases, both Bitcoin as well as Monero can be used. No exit-scam risks exist because of its wallet-less mode. Or, optionally a market wallet is available for each account as well.

Escrow is available for all, F.E is available for trusted vendors. 2-FA is optional for buyers but mandatory for vendors , and Mnemonic code for account recovery are some other available features.

Has 4 vendor plans, it starts with a free forever vendor-account. The other plans cost 30 USD, 50 USD and 125 USD per month. The fee for each sale, as well as account features (withdrawal, autoshop, shipping options etc.) also depend on the vendor plan.

ASAP Market

TOR Url: asap2u4pvplnkzl7ecle45wajojnftja45wvovl3jrvhangeyq67ziid.onion

With over 7000 products in its arsenal, ASAP Market makes for a perfect Empire Market alternative. Surprisingly, Drugs isn’t the most product-rich category rather it’s “Digital Goods” followed by “Fraud” listings.

Goods can be purchased using both Bitcoin and Monero.  BTC deposits must be minimum 0.0005BTC, withdrawals too are possible as long as they’re 0.0009BTC or higher. The vendor fee too can be paid using either Cryptocurrency, the fee is set at $400.00 with an additional 5% fee for each sale.

There’s this unique “Scam Hunter” feature which hunts both buyers and vendors who’re scammers. Additionally, there’s also a “Fake Review Detector” which helps makes sure all reviews on a vendor profile are legit.

DarkFox Market

Tor URL: p5eg3xsssjglu6tvwfazp2nqqwfpah55wr3ljil2bezp5shix5ruqsqd.onion

DarkFox totally qualifies as an Empire Market alternative for at least one strong reason. It too features an Autoshop just like Empire did!  The autoshop can be used to instantly buy and sell cards.

Even the multisig escrow is offered in addition to the standard escrow. As for payments, Bitcoin is accepted and has a minimum deposit requirement of 0.00005 BTC.

The available products include drugs, products which can be shipped digitally, fake documents, malware, software, hosting and security etc.  Well over 4500 products are available for purchase. It doesn’t even require registration for browsing products. Obviously purchases do require that.

All communications are auto-encrypted via PGP, however, manual PGP encryption supported. 2-FA can be implemented using the same as well. There’s also a security PIN.

Tips for using these alternatives to Empire Market

We’re pretty sure you may go and check a few of these darkweb marketplaces (hopefully, for research purposes).

So, you’ve already got the VPN, right? There are a few other key points you should take care of on darknet markets.

First, it’s best to go with wallet-less marketplaces. We’re sure you’re aware of Empire Market exit-scamming, right? That wouldn’t have happened if it was wallet-less.

Secondly, you should avoid sending funds to a darknet market from your primary wallet. It’s best if you use a Bitcoin mixer to mix your coins, and then send the coins to the market. This would really amp up your anonymity.

A major point we must mention is link-authenticity. You shouldn’t trust links found on blogs/forums/social networking sites. Always PGP-verify the links on the marketplaces (even the links we’ve posted, just being honest.) Else, you may fall prey to a phishing attack.

Another factor, not a major one still a point is “vendor-bond”. The higher the vendor-bond on a market, the less chances of it having scammers. Also look for “vendor-transparency”. If you can’t check a vendor’s previous sales, probably not worth your time.

Final Words – Empire Market Alternatives

Well, these were the top 10 alternatives to Empire Market.

Now sure, they all vary from one another.

However, the one thing they all got in common is legitimacy (for now). All of these have been here the longest, or have established quite the reputation.

Be that as it may, note that this article shouldn’t be an encouragement, indication, or guide for Darknet activities.

The only way you’re allowed to use this article is for research and educational purposes. Darknet Markets are illegal. Using them is illegal. Do not do so.

If you use any of these Empire Market alternatives in any way, it’ll be solely of your own accord, and only you will be responsible for your actions.
