Welcome to the DrugHub Market Knowledge Base
This wiki serves as your comprehensive educational resource for understanding DrugHub Market - a Monero-only darknet marketplace launched in August 2023 by the former White House Market team. Whether you're researching darknet marketplace security, learning about cryptocurrency privacy, or studying operational security practices, our guides provide detailed, accurate information.
DrugHub Market operates with unique security features including mandatory PGP authentication (no passwords), Monero-exclusive payments for maximum privacy, and a zero-trust escrow system. However, January 2025 security incidents have raised concerns about operational practices. Our guides cover both the technical strengths and documented vulnerabilities.
Each guide is categorized by importance level: CRITICAL for security-essential reading, REQUIRED for mandatory knowledge, and BEGINNER for newcomers. We recommend starting with the Security Guide regardless of experience level.
Core Technologies Explained
Understanding the fundamental technologies behind DrugHub Market
PGP Cryptography
Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) forms the backbone of DrugHub's authentication system. Unlike traditional marketplaces using passwords, DrugHub requires cryptographic proof of identity through 4096-bit RSA keys. This eliminates phishing attacks and credential theft entirely - you can't steal a password that doesn't exist.

Monero Privacy
Monero (XMR) provides transaction privacy through ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT. Unlike Bitcoin where every transaction is publicly traceable, Monero obscures sender, receiver, and amount. DrugHub's Monero-only policy ensures maximum financial privacy for all marketplace transactions.
Monero Guide â
Zero-Trust Escrow
DrugHub's escrow system holds funds in cryptographic lockboxes until transaction completion. Neither buyer, seller, nor marketplace can unilaterally access escrowed funds. This trustless architecture protects against exit scams and ensures dispute resolution happens fairly.
Escrow Details â
Tor Network
The Onion Router (Tor) provides anonymous access to DrugHub through multiple layers of encryption. Traffic bounces through volunteer relays worldwide, making it nearly impossible to trace connections back to users. DrugHub operates exclusively as a .onion hidden service.
