ToRReZ Market - Darknet Market Review

ToRReZ Market is a well established dark-net market that has launched in February of 2020. It identifies itself as a community driven market. Meaning its development direction and future features are determined by the users. To assure the claim, the market has published a roadmap in which it shows its plans for the near future. Moreover, since ToRReZ claims to be community driven, it states that a lot has gone into making the support system as robust as possible. Since its launch early last year, the market significantly grew in popularity. At this time, torrez has over 30,000 listings.

ToRReZ Market provides a dark-mode interface option for those who like things dim. On the left side lies the categories sidebar, which helps narrowing the scope of what you're looking for.

Account and Security

Account registration is required on ToRReZ Market. The registration process consists of providing a username and a password. A mnemonic phrase is displayed for users right after registration. mnemonic is the only way for a user to restore their password if they forget it, so it must be stored safely. Optional security settings for user accounts include PGP 2FA and TOTP (Time-Based One Time Password). We recommend the PGP option since its more secure. While PGP 2FA is optional for buyer accounts, it is mandatory for vendor accounts.
