Escrow (Standard)

A trust-less system where the market holds the buyer's funds in a neutral wallet. The funds are only released to the vendor once the buyer confirms receipt of goods.

FE (Finalize Early)

The buyer releases funds to the vendor before receiving goods. This removes buyer protection and should only be used with highly trusted vendors.

2. Security & Encryption

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)

The cryptographic standard for darknet communication. Uses a Public Key (to encrypt) and a Private Key (to decrypt).

OpSec (Operational Security)

A strategic process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by enemy intelligence.
