System Architecture
Blackops Market is a decentralized, Monero-exclusive marketplace engineered for anonymity.
> PLATFORM_OVERVIEW
Blackops Market represents the evolution of darknet commerce infrastructure. Unlike predecessor markets that relied on mixed-currency wallets and centralized dispute resolution, Blackops utilizes a semi-decentralized escrow system built exclusively on the Monero (XMR) blockchain. This eliminates the "taint" analysis vectors common to Bitcoin transactions.
The platform's frontend is served via a custom Tor Hidden Service implementation designed to resist traffic analysis attacks. Our backend utilizes geographically distributed nodes that sync via encrypted channels, ensuring that a seizure of one node does not compromise the database integrity or user anonymity.
Technical Core
Protocol: Tor V3 Hidden Service
Encryption: PGP 4096-bit Required
Settlement: XMR (Ring Signatures)
Database: Sharded SQL with RAM-only caching

Security Protocol
- 01 PGP Mandatory: Encryption is enforced at the database level. Plaintext shipping info is rejected by the API.
- 02 No-Logs Policy: Server logs are piped to /dev/null. Transaction metadata is purged 72 hours after finalization.
- 03 Canary System: Signed warrant canaries are updated every 14 days to verify administrative control.
Financial Logic
- 01 XMR Exclusive: Bitcoin is not accepted. Monero is the only currency supported to ensure fungibility.
- 02 Escrow Logic: Funds are held in multisig wallets. Vendors cannot access funds until buyer confirmation or timer expiry.
- 03 Vendor Bonds: A $500 vendor bond (waived for established vendors) filters out low-effort scammers.
