Market History & Reputation
Torzon was created by a team of developers who prioritised transparency and community involvement. Unlike many predecessors, Torzon published its core escrow logic and encouraged external audits. It survived several waves of DDoS attacks through a distributed mirror network and a custom anti‑DDoS proxy layer.
The market enforces mandatory PGP for all users—a feature that has significantly reduced phishing and man‑in‑the‑middle attacks. Its multi‑signature escrow (2‑of‑3) has become an industry standard, giving buyers and vendors equal control over funds.
