About DrugHub Market

DrugHub Market was architected in August 2023 by former administrators of White House Market, designed to address the systemic vulnerabilities prevalent in the darknet ecosystem. Unlike conventional marketplaces that rely on centralized wallets and outdated username/password schemas, DrugHub operates on a zero-knowledge principle regarding user identity and credentials.

The platform functions exclusively on the Monero (XMR) blockchain, leveraging ring signatures and stealth addresses to ensure mathematical unlinkability of transactions. We currently host over 1,500 verified vendors and maintain 25,000+ listings. Our infrastructure is built on a distributed backend that isolates the frontend onion services from the database layer, ensuring high availability even during sustained network stress.

Cryptographic Authentication

We have eliminated the concept of stored passwords. Authentication on DrugHub is strictly cryptographic. Upon login, the server generates a random challenge string encrypted with the user's public PGP key. Access is granted only upon successful decryption and verification. This mechanism renders credential stuffing and database leak attacks mathematically impossible, as the server never stores a private secret.

Decentralized Mirror Network (LDN)

To mitigate DDoS attacks, DrugHub utilizes a proprietary Link Directory Node (LDN) system. Upon registration, the system generates a unique, private mirror URL for each user account. This segregates traffic into isolated streams, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring that an attack on one node does not degrade the performance of the entire cluster.

2/3 Multisig Escrow

Financial security is enforced via Monero multisignature wallets. Funds are never held in a central hot wallet. Instead, a unique wallet is generated for every order, requiring 2 of 3 keys (Buyer, Vendor, Administrator) to release funds. This prevents exit scams and ensures impartial dispute resolution.

Vendor status on DrugHub is a privilege, not a right. We enforce a rigorous vetting protocol to maintain market integrity. Applicants must demonstrate established reputation on other recognized platforms or submit to a comprehensive verification process including proof of stock.

• Bond Requirement: A non-refundable vendor bond of 1-5 XMR is mandatory for all new accounts to deter low-effort scammers.
• Finalize Early (FE): FE privileges are restricted to vendors with >500 sales and a 98% positive feedback rating over a 6-month period.
• Restricted Goods: We strictly prohibit the sale of weapons, explosives, fentanyl, and CP. Violations result in immediate bans.

Dispute resolution is handled by impartial moderators who review chat logs and transaction data. The 2/3 multisig architecture ensures that funds remain locked until a consensus is reached.
