Knowledge Base & FAQ

DrugHub is a next-generation darknet marketplace architected for maximum operational security. Unlike legacy markets, it employs a "Walletless" design and enforces PGP-only authentication.

The backend is distributed across multiple Tor hidden service nodes to prevent seizure and DDoS attacks. We operate exclusively on the Monero (XMR) blockchain to ensure transaction unlinkability.

Security requires strict mirror verification. Only use the signed mirrors provided below. Verify the PGP signature on the homepage before logging in.

To mitigate network congestion and targeted DDoS attacks, DrugHub assigns a unique, rotating Onion address to every verified user after their first purchase. This address is known only to you and the server. If the main links are down, your private mirror will likely remain operational.

DrugHub does not store passwords. Authentication relies entirely on asymmetric cryptography.

1. Enter your username.
2. The server presents a random text block encrypted with your Public PGP Key.
3. You decrypt this block using your Private Key to reveal the verification code.
4. Enter the code to establish a session.

This method renders database leaks credential-neutral, as no secrets are stored on our servers.

Since our login process strictly requires PGP decryption, 2FA is intrinsic to the system. You cannot log in without possession of your private key. Additional 2FA methods (like TOTP) are redundant and not implemented to reduce attack surface.

We enforce strict no-logs policies. Server access logs are piped to /dev/null. All images are stripped of EXIF data upon upload. Messages are auto-encrypted if the recipient has a PGP key, though we strongly recommend manual encryption on your local machine before pasting into the chat box.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a transparent ledger; all transactions are publicly traceable. Monero (XMR) uses Ring Signatures, RingCT, and Stealth Addresses to completely obfuscate the sender, receiver, and amount. For the safety of our vendors and users, DrugHub only processes XMR.

Traditional markets require you to deposit funds into a central wallet, creating a single point of failure and risk of exit scams. DrugHub is walletless. When you place an order, a unique subaddress is generated specifically for that transaction. You send the exact amount + network fees directly to that address.

We utilize a standard escrow system where funds are held until the buyer confirms receipt or the timer expires.

• Auto-Finalize: Orders finalize automatically after 14 days for physical goods (adjustable by shipping tier) or 48 hours for digital goods.
• Disputes: If an order is not received, the buyer must open a dispute before the timer expires. Admin mediation will review evidence (shipping logs, chat history).
