How to Access Prime Market
A practical walkthrough — from zero to logged in, securely.
Prime Market Onion Address
Prime Market operates exclusively on the Tor network. The official .onion address is the only way to reach the real platform. A clearnet mirror is available for URL reference, but your actual account activity should always happen over Tor.
Official Prime Market Link

https://primemarket.link
clearnet mirror
Watch for phishing: Fake Prime Market mirrors are common. Always verify the .onion address character-by-character before entering credentials. Bookmark it in Tor Browser immediately after verifying. Do not trust links from Reddit, Telegram, or social media without cross-checking this page.
Step-by-Step Access Guide
This guide assumes you're starting from scratch — no Tor Browser, no account. If you already have Tor Browser installed, skip to step 3.
Download Tor Browser
Go to torproject.org and download Tor Browser for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). The official site is the only safe source — no third-party mirrors, no repackaged versions.
Install and launch
Run the installer. Launch Tor Browser. On first open you'll see the connection screen — click "Connect." It takes 10–30 seconds to establish a Tor circuit depending on your network.
Navigate to Prime Market
In Tor Browser's address bar, paste the .onion address: http://primeazlozdecj746nw7anc7vpcaz3pqltbjm4slxx6y6g4r3tel35qd.onion/
Press Enter. The page will load over Tor — expect it to be slightly slower than clearnet browsing.
Register your account
Click Register on the Prime Market homepage. Choose a unique username (don't reuse one from other platforms). Set a strong password. Complete the CAPTCHA. After account creation, immediately set your account secret and generate a mnemonic key — store it offline.
Configure PGP (highly recommended)
Generate a PGP keypair using GPG, Kleopatra, or similar. Upload your public key to your Prime Market profile. This enables encrypted messaging and is required if you intend to sell.
Deposit funds
Navigate to your wallet and generate a deposit address for BTC or XMR. Send funds from a non-KYC wallet where possible. BTC requires 1 confirmation; XMR requires 2. Funds credit within about 20 minutes.
Prime Market Access — Safety Checklist
Before and during use, run through this list. It's not exhaustive but covers the main failure points that lead to compromised accounts or lost funds:
| Check | Status guidance |
|---|---|
| Using Tor Browser | Required — not a regular browser |
| .onion URL verified | Match character by character against this page |
| Bookmarked in Tor Browser | Reduces URL input errors after first visit |
| Unique credentials | Username and password used nowhere else |
| Account secret saved | Required for withdrawals — store offline |
| Mnemonic key backed up | Written down, offline, not in a text file |
| PGP configured | Strongly recommended; required for vendors |
| JavaScript not disabled | Prime Market requires JavaScript; Tor Browser's default is fine |
Prime Market Clearnet Mirror
The clearnet mirror at primemarket.link exists primarily for URL verification purposes — it lets you cross-check the .onion address from a regular browser without needing Tor. Some users also use it to check market uptime before launching Tor Browser.
Do not use the clearnet mirror for active account activity. Doing so exposes your IP address and removes the anonymity that Tor provides. The only safe way to use Prime Market is through Tor Browser with the .onion address.
