Welcome to the BlackOps Archive
An independent, Wikipedia-style reference about BlackOps Market — the darknet marketplace known by the name BlackOps — and its verified BlackOps onion mirrors. The archive documents history, features, payments, vendor rules and the verification routine for every BlackOps Tor link.
Featured article — BlackOps Market
BlackOps Market (also written Black Ops Market or simply BlackOps) is a darknet marketplace operating as a Tor hidden service. It appears in English-language market directories as a general-purpose market with vendor accounts, escrow and Monero-first payments. Like most markets of its generation, BlackOps publishes several onion mirrors and a PGP-signed canary so that users can verify an address before logging in.
The BlackOps onion addresses use the 56-character Tor v3 format and begin with the vanity prefix blackops. Because a matching prefix can be generated by anyone, the archive treats prefix matching as insufficient and documents the full-hostname and PGP comparison routine instead.
The main article covers the history of the name, the feature set, payments and escrow, vendor policy, security model and access through Tor.
Current status — BlackOps onion mirrors
| Slot | Role | Format | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Link 01 | Primary BlackOps onion | Tor v3 · 56 chars | verified |
| Link 02 | Backup mirror | Tor v3 · 56 chars | verified |
| Link 03 | Backup mirror | Tor v3 · 56 chars | verified |
All three BlackOps mirror links are published on the mirrors page with copy and open controls. The letters are stored out of order in the page source and assembled by the browser, which blocks naive scraping and makes phishing redistribution harder.
Did you know…
- … that a Tor v3 onion address is a 56-character base32 string encoding the service's public key, so two BlackOps links with the same first eight letters can belong to completely different operators?
- … that BlackOps Market is commonly described as Monero-first, and that escrow release is separated from the deposit step?
- … that the BlackOps PGP canary is the only portable proof that a mirror belongs to the market, and that search-engine ranking is not a verification method?
- … that the archive keeps the historical BlackOps Market article separate from the live mirror list, so addresses can rotate without rewriting history?
Verify before you log in
- Open Tor Browser. Never open a BlackOps onion link in a normal browser.
- Copy a mirror from the BlackOps mirrors page and compare all 56 characters.
- Download the signed canary and verify it with the BlackOps PGP key you already trust.
- If the key, fingerprint or hostname changed unexpectedly — stop and do not enter credentials.
