How to use Silk Road Dark Web Market

Preface:
Silk Road Dark Web is a market hosted on Tor, so to access the market you’d have to access the .onion website. Silk Road is a Monero and bitcoin dark web market, it does not accept any other cryptocurrency such as ETH, LTC, etc. Introduction & Prerequisites: This guide will cover how to use the market as a buyer, and as a vendor. We assume that you have sufficient understanding on how to use Tor Browser, PGP Keys, using a Monero Wallet and are using some form of a Linux distribution. A Monero-Only Market: Why Monero? Monero (XMR) is a successor of Bitcoin (BTC) in the Dark-Net for many reasons, of which prominent to us for its decentralization and fungibility. Numerous markets in 2025 have shifted their medium of currency from BTC, to a hybrid of BTC/XMR, to some solely adapting to XMR. Silk Road Dark Web has decided to solely offer XMR as the medium of currency due to the privacy and security for all parties involved. How to get Monero? Start with creating a Monero wallet, there are web-based wallets such as MyMonero, and there are app-based wallets such as CakeWallet and Monerujo. Though the most recommended way to create a wallet is through the official Monero GUI wallet that you can get over at https://www.getmonero.org/downloads. How to Exchange Monero? The best way to get XMR is to have a different cryptocurrency exchanged into XMR, of which BTC being the most common. A well trusted aggregator https://kycnot.me/ which lists different services (of which includes exchangers), any exchanger listed on the aggregator can be used. Getting started: How to Register? Registering is easy! Upon accessing the onion-site you’ll be greeted with a waiting time (although it says 3 minutes, more often than not it’s 3 seconds). Press “register” and enter a username and password, it’s recommended for the username and password to be different from any other websites. Reference code is something given to you by a friend, the friend has ability to make profit from a reference, but this is completely optional and not required. It is very important to save the Mnemonic Phrase as this is the only time it’ll be shown to you. With a Mnemonic Phrase you’re able to recover your account if by chance you’ve forgotten your password.

We recommend that your password be at least 8 characters long, being a mix of multiple numbers, special characters and letters.. If you want to add another layer of security on your funds, you can also set your Pincode to be as long and difficult as a normal password. The ultimate security is having 2FA enabled on your account. You can find a guide to enabling 2FA on your account here. Single-word or commonly used phrases make very weak passwords, we suggest you use a password specific to this site and not the same password you would use for your email account.

You are required to enter the recovery silk road dark web key that was given to you upon registering your account. If you do not have your recovery key, you will not be able to change your password. You must be logged out of your account and navigate to the Recover panel, and follow the instructions on that page. It is suggested that you make a copy of the recovery key in a text file, to be placed onto encrypted storage device. If you have 2FA enabled then it doesn't matter what your silk road password is because nobody is getting into it without having access to your PGP key. Only the person with the private key can access a 2FA-enabled account.
