The Mars Market onion directory

This is the directory. It publishes the Mars Market onion addresses for readers who came here looking for working storefront URLs and could not find a place to copy them from. Written by an editor team, not spat out by a script, which is why the prose around the addresses reads like a paragraph rather than a dashboard.

What sits on this index page is the short version. The mirrors page carries the same five entries with more room and a note per entry. The tor-access page explains how the network gets you from a paste in the browser bar to the login screen. The marketplace page covers what the storefront sells, its escrow model and which coins the wallet accepts.

How to read the directory

The directory is meant to be skimmed in any order. Readers who already understand Tor Browser and only want the address go straight to mirrors. Readers who are here for the first time and are unsure what onion routing means read tor-access first. The marketplace page describes what the storefront actually sells and how its escrow flow is built, which is the part that tends to interest readers who have used other markets and want to compare.

What the directory does not do

The directory does not pretend to know whether a given address is online at the moment you read it. Earlier drafts carried status hints that suggested it could, and the editor team dropped that on purpose. A clearnet page is the wrong place to claim live knowledge of a hidden service. The directory publishes the current rotation, writes about it in plain prose, and lets Tor Browser do its own work when you paste an entry into the address bar.

A note on the editor voice

Pages in the directory are written by a small editor team that watches the Mars Market storefront. The tone is the same everywhere, calm, plain, slightly under-stated, because that tone makes the address lines stand out more than they would in a louder page. Readers who came here for marketing will find the prose disappointing. Readers who came here for working addresses will find the marketing missing.
