Platform Architecture & Mission
BlackOps Market is a purpose-built decentralized commerce platform operating exclusively on the Tor network. We prioritize cryptographic assurance over trust, utilizing Monero multisig implementations and mandatory PGP encryption to secure the trade lifecycle in a hostile network environment.
Operational History
Deployment of BlackOps Market commenced in early 2024 following a rigorous six-month beta phase focused on stress-testing the escrow system and vendor vetting protocols. The platform was engineered to address the systemic vulnerabilities found in legacy marketplaces, specifically the reliance on transparent ledgers (Bitcoin) and weak administrative opsec.
Since public launch, BlackOps has maintained 99.98% uptime through a distributed load-balancing architecture. We currently facilitate secure trades for over 280,000 verified accounts. Our codebase is proprietary, written from scratch to avoid the "inheritance vulnerabilities" common in marketplaces running on leaked source code.
Core Directives
Data Minimization
We retain zero logs of user activity, IP addresses, or transaction metadata. Data is purged from RAM automatically upon session termination. If it isn't stored, it cannot be compromised.
Financial Sovereignty
Monero (XMR) is the only accepted currency. Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) and stealth addresses ensure complete unlinkability between sender, receiver, and transaction amount.
Harm Reduction
We enforce strict listing policies banning fentanyl and weaponry. The platform integrates testing kit resources and safety guides directly into the user interface.
Resilience
Our infrastructure utilizes a rotating mirror system with proof-of-work access controls to mitigate DDoS attacks, ensuring consistent access even during high-stress periods.

Cryptographic Standards
BlackOps Market enforces a rigorous security model designed to withstand state-level scrutiny. Our implementation details include:
- Client-Side Encryption: Messages are encrypted locally before transmission. Server logs contain only ciphertext.
- No-JavaScript Mode: The site is fully functional without JavaScript, eliminating vector attacks via browser vulnerabilities.
- Cold Storage Protocol: 95% of market funds are held in multi-signature offline wallets. Hot wallets maintain only operational liquidity.
- Automated Canary: A cryptographically signed warrant canary is updated every 14 days to verify administrative control.
Administration
Operated by a decentralized collective of privacy advocates and systems architects. We maintain strict compartmentalization.
Verified Mirrors
