Operational Documentation

DrugHub Official functions as the verified clear-web directory and documentation hub for the DrugHub Market hidden service. It maintains up-to-date PGP keys, mirror status indicators, and operational manuals to ensure users establish secure, authenticated connections to the marketplace infrastructure. We provide the cryptographic proof required to verify the integrity of the hidden service.

Connection to the DrugHub Market .onion network requires the Tor Browser (version 11.0 or higher). For optimal operational security (OpSec), users must configure the browser security level to 'Safest', which disables JavaScript completely. This mitigates browser fingerprinting and potential exploit vectors.

DrugHub utilizes a strict Zero-Knowledge Authentication protocol. The platform does not store user passwords. Authentication is achieved solely through PGP encryption challenges. The server encrypts a unique token with the user's public key; the user must decrypt this using their private key to verify identity. This renders brute-force attacks, SQL injection dumps, and credential theft mathematically impossible.

Users verify server integrity by checking the signed PGP message on the landing page against the market's official public key. Furthermore, the platform utilizes a 'Personal Phrase' and 'Anti-Impersonation Avatar' system. Upon login, the dashboard displays a user-selected secret image and text string, confirming the session is authenticated and the server is genuine.

Bitcoin and other public-ledger cryptocurrencies lack the fungibility and privacy required for secure darknet operations. DrugHub exclusively integrates Monero (XMR) due to its mandatory privacy features: Ring Signatures (obfuscating the sender), RingCT (hiding amounts), and Stealth Addresses (protecting the receiver). This ensures complete financial anonymity for all market participants.

To eliminate the risk of central wallet compromise (exit scams or hacks), DrugHub operates on a "Walletless" architecture. The market does not hold user funds in a central deposit wallet. Instead, every order generates a unique, one-time-use sub-address. Funds sent to this address are routed directly into the escrow smart contract, minimizing platform risk exposure.

Transactions utilize a 2-of-3 Multi-Signature Escrow. The three keys are held by the Buyer, the Vendor, and the Market Administration. Releasing funds requires consensus from two parties. If a transaction proceeds smoothly, Buyer and Vendor finalize. In a dispute, the Market steps in to arbitrate, using the second key to release funds to the rightful party based on provided evidence.

Vendor admission is restricted. Applicants must pay a non-refundable bond (tiered 1-5 XMR) and submit product samples for independent chemical analysis (spectroscopy/reagent testing) by market administration. This Quality Control (QC) protocol ensures listing accuracy. New vendors remain in a probationary status for 30 days or until 20 verified successful transactions.

To protect vendors from unresponsive buyers, orders adhere to a strict Auto-Finalization (AF) timer.

• Physical Goods: 14 days from 'Shipped' status.
• Digital Goods: 48 hours from 'Delivered' status.

Buyers may request a one-time extension of 7 days if shipping delays occur. Once finalized, funds are irreversibly released to the vendor.

If a vendor fails to deliver or the product quality is compromised, the buyer initiates a Dispute. This freezes the escrow. A moderator reviews the chat logs (which must be PGP decrypted) and any provided evidence. Decisions are final. Note: Attempting to take communication off-market (e.g., Telegram, Jabber) voids dispute protection.

Yes. Upon registration, the load-balancing system assigns a unique Private Mirror URL to the user account. This isolates the user from public DDoS attacks and network congestion. Private mirrors are rotated periodically to maintain network hygiene. Always bookmark your private mirror immediately.

The Tor network can experience high latency. If a specific mirror is unresponsive, attempt connection via an alternative verified mirror listed on our Links Page. Ensure your system clock is synchronized to UTC, as time drift can cause PGP authentication failures and Captcha loops.
