This page provides the verified onion link, PGP key for authentication, step-by-step entry guide, and market trust indicators. Always read the security notes before accessing.
This is the official, PGP-verified WeTheNorth onion URL. The link below has been verified against the marketplace's signed announcement. Always compare character by character.
The public PGP key below is used by the WeTheNorth marketplace administration to sign official announcements, mirror lists, and security advisories. Verify all communications against this key.
Follow this step-by-step process to access the WeTheNorth marketplace anonymously and securely.
Download Tor Browser from the official Tor Project website: torproject.org. Verify the GPG signature of the installer before running it. Never download Tor from third-party sites.
In Tor Browser, click the shield icon → Advanced Security Settings → Set to "Safest". This disables JavaScript on non-HTTPS sites, removing a major attack surface.
Copy the WeTheNorth onion link from the tab above. Compare it character by character with a second trusted source. The full address should be exactly 56 characters before .onion.
Paste the verified URL directly into the Tor Browser address bar. Do not search for it via a search engine. Do not click any link claiming to redirect to the market.
Create a unique account. Immediately generate a PGP key pair (using GPG4WIN on Windows, GPG on Linux) and upload your public key to the platform. Enable PGP 2FA in account settings.
Deposit Monero (XMR) to your marketplace wallet address. XMR is strongly recommended. For XMR acquisition guides, see our Monero guide.
The marketplace is only accessible via Tor Browser. Using a clearnet browser or VPN-only connection will not work and may compromise your anonymity. Download Tor Browser from torproject.org.
Before registering, generate a unique PGP key pair. Use GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) on Linux/Mac or GPG4WIN on Windows. Keep your private key offline and backed up securely.
Purchase Monero through a peer-to-peer exchange or privacy-preserving service. Avoid using centralized exchanges that require KYC verification. See our XMR guide for step-by-step instructions.
