Cypher Market Overview

Cypher Market is a new and small marketplace where users can trade traditional items from the darknet marketplaces. The market has over 3000 listings available, mostly drugs.

The market was launched in June 2020. Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR) are the payment method supported by the website, which implies complete anonymity to its members.

Accessing Cypher is only possible through Tor Browser which, added to Monero, enhances the anonymous experience when shopping on the website.

Cypher Market has an easy and quick registration process and doesn’t have a central account/wallet system. However, it’s new on the market and has a limited vendor and listing selection.

Once located, paste the public PGP key in the box. They should always ensure this is their public PGP, not the description key.

They also include an $80 fee in Bitcoin (BTC) or Monero (XMR) for any vendor to join their market to prevent scammers. How to Make Payments in Cypher Market

Cypher Market is not much different from the most reputable darknet markets and only supports both Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR), and some vendors may only accept one of those coins.

Payment is made only at the time of order and is then held by the market and released after the order is finalized by the buyer.

This method is safe because the website uses the traditional escrow mediator holding ground for the funds or assets involved in that transaction.

Unlike other darknet markets, the website doesn’t have an account wallet system and handles all payments on a per-order basis. This means users don’t have to deposit for a purchase and they can use their own private wallet to proceed with payments. Shop Around the Cypher Marketplace
