About Abacus Shop

The Abacus darknet market: privacy, security, and a trusted vendor community.

What is Abacus Shop?

Abacus Shop (also known as Abacus Market) is a privacy-focused darknet marketplace that operates on the Tor network. It is designed to provide a secure, anonymous, and user-friendly environment for buyers and vendors to interact and transact using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR).

Core Philosophy

  • Privacy-First: No personal data is required. All communication is encrypted, and users are encouraged to use PGP for messaging and 2FA.
  • Walletless Transactions: Abacus Shop does not store user funds. Each deposit generates a unique, temporary address, reducing the risk of theft or exit scams.
  • Decentralized Trust: The platform uses a robust escrow system and a transparent vendor rating system to build trust between buyers and sellers.
  • Security by Design: Anti-phishing measures, mirror verification, and regular security audits are standard practice.
