Operational Overview
DrugHub Market was architected in 2023 to address critical vulnerabilities in legacy darknet infrastructures. Unlike predecessors relying on centralized login credentials, DrugHub enforces a strictly passwordless architecture dependent on PGP keypair authentication. This eliminates the vector for credential harvesting and ensures that user identity remains mathematically secured.
The platform operates as a Monero-exclusive environment. By mandating XMR for all settlements, DrugHub ensures complete transactional opacity through ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT. This financial firewall protects both vendors and buyers from blockchain analysis heuristics common to transparent ledgers like Bitcoin.
Infrastructure resilience is maintained through a distributed system of Link Directory Nodes (LDNs). Upon account creation, users are assigned private, rotating mirror links. This segregation of traffic mitigates the effectiveness of DDoS attacks, ensuring consistent uptime and market accessibility even during high-load periods.
Passwordless 2FA
Zero-knowledge login system. Access is granted solely through PGP message decryption challenges.
XMR Standard
Monero-only settlement layer ensuring unlinkable transactions and sender privacy.
Harm Reduction
Mandatory spectroscopy analysis for vendor products to verify chemical purity.
Private Mirrors
Automated generation of unique onion endpoints for every user session.

01 Security Architecture
Universal Security Model
DrugHub Market enforces a universal high-security baseline. The architecture does not rely on tiered security; all accounts are protected by the same rigorous encryption standards. The exclusion of server-side password storage renders database dumps useless to adversaries, as access requires possession of the private PGP key held locally by the user.
Link Directory Nodes (LDN)
The LDN system generates ephemeral onion addresses for user sessions. This distributed approach ensures that no single point of failure exists within the access layer. Users interact with a verified mirror, shielding the core backend from direct traffic floods and maintaining operational stability.

02 Vendor Ecosystem
Vendor admission is strictly regulated to maintain market integrity. Applicants must undergo a 30-day probationary period and submit products for random spectroscopic analysis. The platform utilizes a 2/3 Multi-Signature escrow system for all standard transactions, ensuring funds are released only upon confirmed delivery or dispute resolution.
Verification
Chemical analysis required. Vendor bond set at $500-$1500 USD (XMR equivalent).
Probation
Strict monitoring for initial 30 days. Listing limits apply until reputation is established.
Finalize Early
FE privileges granted only to vendors with 500+ sales and >95% positive feedback.
03 Monero Infrastructure
DrugHub operates a wallet-less payment system. Transactions are processed directly between buyer and escrow via Monero (XMR). This implementation leverages Ring Signatures to obfuscate the sender, Stealth Addresses to hide the receiver, and RingCT to conceal transaction amounts.
Registration is not required to browse the market. User accounts are only necessary for order placement and communication. This separation of browsing and interaction data further enhances user anonymity profiles.
