Mars Market onion portal

The Mars Market storefront lives on the Tor network. To reach it from a regular browser you first need a verified onion address, and this portal exists to keep a short, sane list of them on one quiet page. Copy the line you want, paste it into the Tor Browser, and the login screen comes up exactly as it did the last time you visited.

Five addresses are in active rotation today. Each one resolves to the same storefront, the same wallet balance and the same vendor catalogue, so the choice between them is only a question of which Tor route happens to feel quick this evening. Nothing on this clearnet doorway holds your funds, your messages or your session — those all live behind the onion, behind a private connection your own Tor Browser builds.

What lives behind a mirror

The storefront behind any of the five addresses carries the public catalogue, the vendor reputation pages, the per-order escrow flow and the wallet panel. Anything that touches a balance, a coin or a vendor message lives there and only there. The portal you are reading carries text and links, nothing else, which is why it can sit on the open web while the marketplace itself does not.

If you are new to onion-routed sites, the order of operations is short. Download the Tor Browser from the project that publishes it, set the security slider to Safest, copy one of the mirror lines from the next page, and paste it into the address bar of the Tor Browser. The login screen at the other end is where the actual marketplace begins.

Why several addresses, not one

One address is one target on the Tor network. The minute it becomes well-known, it picks up traffic from everyone at once — both real visitors and the slower, less friendly kind of attention. A small rotation gives any individual user a working fallback without having to wait, and lets the operator retire a tired address quietly while a fresh one warms up. The five strings on the next page are the current set; if one feels slow on a given evening, scroll to the next one and try again.

How to use this portal in practice

Bookmark the portal, not any single onion. A bookmark of a single address eventually falls out of date as rotation moves on, while a bookmark of the portal always lands you on the current list. Open the mirrors page when you want to enter the storefront; the rest of the pages here are reference reading for the pieces of the marketplace that come up later — security model, payment options, registration flow and a short collection of questions that tend to come up the first time around.
