Torzon
High-volume English market. Escrow by default, BTC + XMR, rotating mirrors after DDoS weeks.
DarkScan
Where people went after Dark Matter
Live-desk migration map after the Dark Matter exit scam.
Admin provided evidence shows they're targeting their own users with phishing attacks. October 7, 2026. The private keys for Onion addresses have been leaked. The Market Exit scam had already occurred, but the leaked keys could also be used by phishers and scammers.
Dark Matter’s exit left a hole in English search. This alternatives page answers where people went — with a live-desk comparison — instead of recycling Dark Matter archive onions as if they were safe.
Where this differs from the Dark Matter market-link page
The Dark Matter market link page is a single-brand archive: status, why onions may be empty or historical, phishing notes for that name. This alternatives page answers a different question — where researchers moved after Dark Matter — with a comparison of DarkScan’s six live verified desks and CTAs to each live market-link. We do not dump dead-brand onion strings here.
Same pick-by-need pattern as other post-exit maps: Torzon for volume, Drug Hub/Black Ops for XMR-forward culture, We The North for Canada, Catharsis/Omega for newer smaller English desks.

Open a verified market link
Drug Hub
Multi-mirror Drug Hub endpoints. Save all three onions — rotation after load or DDoS is routine.
Catharsis
Catharsis market link trio — new English desk listing; compare every character against clones.
Omega
Omega market onion set — bookmark the full trio; phishing kits follow new brand publicity fast.
Black Ops
Black Ops onion published. Expect name-squat clones; compare the full string before login.
We The North
Canada corridor market. Smaller catalog, long uptime culture, PGP messaging.
Phishing warning
After a brand dies, clone kits reuse the old name hardest. Compare full onion strings from this desk’s live pages — never from ads, DMs, or “migration support” chats. Educational research only — not a buy recommendation.
