PRIME MARKET HISTORY & MISSION
Prime Market launched in mid-2024, right when everyone thought the darknet marketplace scene was "done." Spoiler: it wasn't. We entered a crowded field with a simple goal—build something that doesn't exit scam after three months. So far, so good (knock on wood, or whatever the digital equivalent is).
Our founding team isn't a bunch of script kiddies who discovered Tor last week. We're veterans of the scene—some of us go back to the Silk Road era, others cut their teeth on Alphabay and Dream. We've seen markets rise and fall, watched admins disappear with millions, and learned what NOT to do. That institutional knowledge matters, even if we did accidentally put the login button on the wrong side of the page for the first two weeks.
WHY "PRIME" MARKET?
The name "Prime" refers to our commitment to prime-level security, prime vendor selection, and prime... okay, we just thought it sounded professional. But we've grown into the name. As of February 2026, Prime Market processes between 2,000-3,500 transactions daily, with an uptime rate of 97.3% (which is honestly pretty good considering our server lives in who-knows-where and runs on hopes, dreams, and redundant backups).
OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Unlike some markets that treat users like walking wallets, we've implemented features based on actual feedback. When vendors complained about withdrawal limits, we adjusted them. When buyers wanted better search filters, we built them (and they actually work, mostly). Our dispute resolution isn't perfect, but it's handled by real moderators who've been trained to not immediately side with the vendor just because they pay a bond.
SUPPORTED CRYPTOCURRENCIES & WALLET OPERATIONS
We support Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR) because those are what actually matter in 2026. Here's how our wallet system works, with all the boring details you probably skipped but shouldn't:
| Currency | Deposit Confirmation | Processing Time | Minimum Withdrawal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | 1 confirmation | ~20 minutes after confirmation | 0.0005 BTC |
| Monero (XMR) | 2 confirmations | ~20 minutes after confirmation | 0.002 XMR |
Important notes that nobody reads but should:
- Deposit addresses are valid for 6 hours. Don't save them for later use.
- Withdrawals are limited to once per hour per cryptocurrency (prevents some exploits, trust us).
- Network fees apply on withdrawals—we don't charge extra, but miners still want their cut.
- Monero withdrawals have a flat fee of 0.0001 XMR (cheap, relatively speaking).
- User-to-user transfers are instant and cost 0.25% (for when you want to pay your friend back for that thing).
VENDOR PROGRAM & APPLICATION TIERS
Not just anyone can become a vendor on Prime Market. We have a tiered application system designed to filter out scammers while welcoming legitimate sellers. Yes, it costs money. No, we won't waive it because you "promise you're legit."
| Vendor Type | Bond Cost | Requirements | Refundable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Vendor | $250 USD | None (clean slate) | No |
| Established Vendor | FREE | Verified good reputation from another market | N/A |
| New FE Vendor | $5,000 USD | Non-refundable bond (serious applicants only) | No |
| Experienced FE Vendor | FREE | 1,000+ sales on multiple established markets | N/A |
What do vendors get? Access to PrimeBot (Jabber integration for level 2+ vendors), vacation mode (because even darknet dealers need breaks), bulk listing tools, and priority support. Vendors who maintain a 4.5+ star rating also get featured placement in search results—yes, we have algorithms now, it's 2026.
LISTING TYPES & SEARCH FEATURES
Vendors can create two types of listings: Simple (single item, straightforward) and Advanced/Bulk (for those selling variations or large quantities). Listings can be tagged with special features:
- Finalize Early (FE): For trusted vendors—funds released on shipping confirmation.
- Auto-Finalize (AF): Standard escrow with timer (usually 14 days).
- Fent-Free: Vendors must provide photo evidence. We take this seriously because, well, fentanyl kills people.
Search filters include categories, attributes, vendor filtering, ship-from/ship-to locations, and toggles to hide vacation vendors or FE-only listings. The search actually returns relevant results, which apparently makes us better than half the clearnet e-commerce sites out there.
