Platform features
Most markets treat security as an afterthought. Prime Market built the dispute system, key management, and listing tools from the ground up with an eye toward what actually goes wrong in practice.
Funds locked on every order with an auto-finalize timer. Nothing moves until you confirm—or a moderator steps in after a dispute.
No market-side cut on withdrawals. You pay network fees only. Monero has a flat 0.0001 XMR network charge, that's it.
Vendors can flag listings as fentanyl-free, backed by photo evidence. Buyers can filter by this label. A real harm-reduction feature, not just words.
Three-way chat: buyer, vendor, moderator. Outcomes include refund, unfreeze, or AF timer extension. Not a black box, both sides participate.
Simple or advanced bulk listing types. PrimeBot Jabber integration for level 2+ vendors, vacation mode, and structured bulk upload tools.
Account secrets and mnemonic key recovery baked into registration. PGP mandatory for vendors, strongly recommended for buyers. Key hygiene by design.
Payment
Prime Market treats BTC and XMR as first-class citizens. Deposit addresses generate fresh each time (valid for 6 hours), confirmations are tracked in real time, and funds are credited within roughly 20 minutes after the required confirmations clear.
XMR
2 confirmations
Withdrawal minimums: 0.0005 BTC / 0.002 XMR. One withdrawal per coin per hour. Internal user-to-user transfers are instant with a 0.25% fee.

About the market
Prime Market runs a clean, structured platform. Registration is intentionally minimal: username, password, CAPTCHA to get in. You then set an account secret and—optionally, though seriously recommended—a mnemonic recovery key. Vendors are required to upload a PGP key. Buyers who skip PGP are taking a risk they probably shouldn't take.
The ordering process follows a simple three-step lifecycle: Pending → Accepted/Shipped → Finalized. Escrow holds funds at every stage until the buyer confirms. FE (Finalize Early) exists for vendors with established trust, and there's an auto-finalize timer that kicks in after a set period if the buyer doesn't act.
The search interface has actual utility—filter by shipping origin and destination, hide vacation-mode vendors, filter out FE listings entirely if you prefer, and toggle the Fent-Free label to find harm-reduced listings specifically. It's not a checkbox-UX afterthought; the filters are functional and fast.
For broader research on active markets and community-sourced safety information, DauntLink is a well-maintained index of trusted darknet resources worth bookmarking before you do much else. Similarly, the NZ Darknet Hub covers a broad sweep of active marketplace listings and community reviews—useful if you're cross-referencing market status or vendor histories before committing to an order.
For vendors
Vendor bonds aren't arbitrary—they exist to filter bad actors before they cause problems. The tiered system rewards track record and penalizes newcomers appropriately. FE privileges cost significantly more, as they should.
| Vendor Type | Bond / Cost | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| New Vendor | $250 USD | Non-refundable bond |
| Established Vendor | Free | Verified good reputation across markets |
| New FE Vendor | $5,000 USD | Non-refundable FE bond |
| Experienced FE Vendor | Free | 1,000+ sales verified across multiple markets |
