Short Description Abacus Market 2025

On (tor.abacusdarknet.com) website you will find the link to access Abacus Market

Abacus is a large darknet marketplace that launched in early 2020 as AlphaBay. To avoid confusion with the recently revamped AlphaBay, the marketplace renamed itself Abacus market and has since grown from AlphaBay. It currently has around 65,000 listings, including a large selection of medicines and pharmaceutical products. The Abacus darknet also has an extensive digital goods section. Signing up to the Abacus market is a little more complicated than some others, but it has enough features to make experienced users feel comfortable.

As well as being inspired by its original namesake, Abacus onion is also modelled on the old AlphaBay, which the admins describe as "the friendliest and most intuitive layout the darknet has ever seen". At the same time, they claim that the marketplace has been designed and built from scratch. Indeed, Abacus market is similar to AlphaBay, but with many modern features built in, such as support for multi-sig XMR and BTC transactions, and the ability to differentiate between different levels of FE (100%, 75%, 50% and 25% payment FE'd on delivery).

Apart from the ban on fentanyl (and the usual blacklisted items), Abacus Market seems to be quite liberal in terms of what is allowed to be sold. It is one of the last major marketplaces to have a huge section for fraudulently obtained data, including personal information, credit cards and various data dumps. The Abacus darknet also offers thousands of other digital goods, some of which are hard to find elsewhere. User support is also said to be "24/7", although we haven't had time to check this out.

Besides borrowing heavily from the template of the world's most famous darknet exchanges, Abacus market has a few other problems that can't go unnoticed. For example, the captcha system it uses is relentless and can be difficult to navigate. The lack of a direct payment option (per order) is a little frustrating, as is the almost complete reliance on the traditional market escrow system. It's difficult to find a provider willing to accept BTC multisig escrow, which means everyone is at the mercy of the marketplace to get it right. Apart from these problems, Abacus market seems to be a perfectly good darknet marketplace, and its popularity has really taken off in the last few months.

How to access Abacus Market

The client needs to establish communication with the onion network. To do this, use the Tor Browser, which you can easily download from the project's official website. Then connect to any VPN service and follow the link to access Abacus Market.

Abacus market how to access

Joining the Abacus Market

Abacus market requires an account in its system to be able to use the main functions of the market. The account dependency is at the highest level. This is evident from the fact that you cannot even look at the goods without logging into your account. Let's take a look at the account registration process.

Abacus darknet create a account

Creating an account with Abacus Market is easy. Firstly, as explained above, make sure you are visiting an official Abacus Darknet site and not a phishing URL. The landing page will have a link to the registration page under the word 'register'.

Create a unique username on Abacus Market that can't be associated with your online identities. Next, create a strong password on Abacus darknet of 8 or more characters (a random combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers is recommended), repeat the password and then enter a 6 character withdrawal pin (required to withdraw funds from the market).

Before you continue, make sure that you have saved your Abacus Market username, password and PIN in a safe place where you can remember where they are. Once you have saved this information, enter the captcha and press "Join Abacus Market".

You will then be taken to the Mnemonic screen. Normally a 'mnemonic' is a memorable list of words, but in the case of Abacus Market it is a long string of letters and numbers. Save this along with your other information, or even somewhere else, as you will need it to recover your account if you lose access to your login details or if they are hacked.

Once you have saved your mnemonic in a safe place, tick the 'I have saved and stored my mnemonic...' box and click 'Continue'. The account creation process is now complete and you are ready to browse the market.

Browsing Abacus Darknet

If you take a quick look at the Abacus Market, you will notice that its design is very different from the design of almost all other darknet sites. Instead of the classic storefront, Abacus Darknet looks more like a forum - and indeed, by default, its forum opens instead of the marketplace page.

Advantages of Abacus market


  • If you're at all familiar with AlphaBay, you'll feel right at home on the Abacus Market, as it's pretty much a direct replica of AlphaBay with a few modern additions. The Market's home screen is divided into two panels. The main panel contains the following elements

  • Quick search (enter a keyword to perform a site wide search)

  • Featured Stores (sellers who have paid for primary listing spots)

  • Random Listings (a selection of 8 listings to give you an idea of what the market has to offer)

  • Security (check the status of your security; it should be 90 or 100% if you have followed this guide)

  • News (market specific news published occasionally)

  • The smaller panel on the left provides basic information, starting with your account statistics at the top, followed by

  • Buyer statistics (total number of items purchased, payments made and items currently in escrow)

  • Autoshop (buy CC/Account details with instant delivery)

  • Categories (select one or more listing categories to filter)

  • Search options (perform a custom search)

  • Exchange Rates (see the exchange rates for BTC and XMR against 15 different currencies)

  • The Abacus Market search function allows you to filter by the following options:

  • Search terms, Product type (physical, digital), Price range, Category (filter by single subcategory), Origin country, Ships to, Order by (all, date, price), Payment (Escrow, FE)

  • In total, Abacus Market currently has around 10,000 listings spread across 5 different categories. Listings categories (and subcategories) for the market include:

  • Drugs (Cannabis, Stimulants, Dissociatives, Opioids, Psychedelics, Ecstasy, Prescription, Benzos, Steroids, Other drugs)

  • Fraud (Cards and CVV, Dumps, Drops – Bank, Bank Logins, Other Fraud Related, Other Logins, SSN / DOB / Other)

  • Digital Goods (Guides, Other Software, Botnets and Malware, Commercial Software, Exploits / Exploit Kits)

  • Counterfeit Items (Money, Jewelry, Other Forgeries)

  • Services (Fake Documents – Digital & Physical, Hacking, Others, Carding)

  • The market uses an EBay or Amazon-style system, where seller reputation is determined by buyer feedback. Clicking on a listing brings up its details, including price in BTC and XMR, shipping options, quantity available and listing details:

  • Before making a purchase, we recommend that you click on the seller's name to view relevant details about the seller, such as their refund policy and user ratings. Abacus imports seller ratings from other markets to help buyers get a better idea of how reliable their services are. While this can help to boost a seller's reputation, it's highly recommended that you don't rely 100% on external feedback and that you deal with sellers who have direct experience with Abacus Market whenever possible.

  • Be sure to check the seller's feedback on the items you want to buy, as well as their refund and reshipment policies. Although it may seem like common sense, it's worth saying that it's best to avoid sellers with less than stellar ratings whenever possible. Although an inexperienced or low-rated seller may offer the item you're looking for at a low price, it's better to avoid a bad experience on a darknet market if possible, which can be done by sticking to the top-rated sellers.

Deposit Your Account in Abacus Market

Before you start browsing products on Abacus Market, there is one more thing you need to do before you can place an order: top up your account. Abacus Market adheres to the old school, as all payments are made through an escrow system. This means that the user's funds are stored on the market until the order is placed by the buyer. The Abacus darknet has an early termination (FE) option, but it still requires transferring funds from your account to an escrow account.

Abacus market depositing

How does the replenishment system on Abacus market work?

Abacus Market accepts two different cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). If possible, it is preferable to use XMR, as it is harder to trace and is both cheaper and faster to send. However, for the purposes of this guide, we will show you how to make a deposit using BTC. First, hover over the "BALANCE" menu option and select "Bitcoin Balance". Here, below the "Deposit Funds" section, you will see a black box that says "Generate Bitcoin Address".

Click on the box to generate an address. This will refresh the screen and display a newly created BTC address where you will deposit coins to fund your account. Your deposit address will change every 48 hours, so if you generate an address and wait more than 2 days before making a deposit, check back to see if your address has changed. Deposits will be credited to your account after 2 confirmations, but may take up to half an hour to appear in your displayed balance.

You can also make withdrawals from this screen. Bitcoin withdrawals are processed for a reasonable fee of 0.0003 BTC.

Place an order on Abacus Darknet Shop

Help with the first order

Once you have found an item you wish to purchase, select the quantity you wish to purchase and click the Buy Now button with BTC or XMR, depending on how you wish to pay. Next, select the shipping method you wish to use, along with the payment option (Escrow or Finalise Early) and check the total payment before proceeding. You will then enter your encrypted shipping information for the seller.

If you wish to encrypt your shipping information yourself (highly recommended), you will need to import the supplier's PGP public key into your PGP client. This can be done by saving it as a text file and using the client's import function. Once you have done this, type in your delivery information as lines of text, copy it to your clipboard, and close the text file without saving the contents. Next, use your PGP client to encrypt the contents of the clipboard using the supplier's PGP key as the recipient. Paste the encrypted contents into the Shipping Info field and you're ready to go.

Once you are satisfied that your order is in order, click the Order button to deduct the amount owed from your account balance. This will alert the seller that an order is waiting for them, and they will begin to prepare the order. When the seller has shipped the order, they will mark it as such in the order status. Once you have received your order and are happy with it, release the funds held in escrow to the supplier by completing the order. Don't forget to do this, as the seller cannot be paid until you do.

Conclusion About Abacus Market

End of Review

All in all, Abacus Market is a young operation that seems to be on its way up. It hasn't been around long enough for the darknet market community to really get a good feel for it, but early reviews are positive. It doesn't have as many listings as some of its more well-known competitors, but that could change in the coming months as word of its existence spreads. For now, it seems as good a market as any - as long as you're not put off by the central wallet system and lack of multi-sig escrow.

Always remember that it is essential to understand what you are doing before you start, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as cryptocurrencies and darknet markets. While Abacus Market is generally considered to be a reputable operation within the darknet market community, remember that security is paramount when trading on any darknet market. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have before making a purchase.

A good place to start looking for information about the Abacus Darknet that is not covered in this guide is the Abacus Forum, which is pretty much the place to discuss market-related issues. Another site well worth checking out is the Darknet Markets Buyers Bible, which contains a wealth of detailed information on how to increase your chances of having a successful darknet market experience.
