1. Purpose of the site
Bitcoin Dark Web is an independent informational record of anonymous online ecosystems. It is intended for security researchers, reporters, academics and other professionals who need a clean overview of darknet activity for defensive, investigative or educational work.
We do not supply purchase walkthroughs, payment guidance, escrow handling, anonymous communication services or any other operational help for transacting on the platforms covered here.
2. We do not endorse illegal activity
Nothing on this site is an endorsement, encouragement or enabler of unlawful conduct. We document the existence and observed behaviour of darknet platforms the way a journalist documents events — to inform the public, not to enable misuse.
You alone are responsible for your own actions. Visiting a documented resource for illegal purposes is entirely your decision and may break the law where you live.
3. Accuracy and timeliness
We aim to keep entries accurate, but the darknet evolves rapidly. Mirrors come and go, operators exit-scam, and phishing copies show up daily. The information here is provided "as is" with no warranty of accuracy, completeness or fitness for any specific purpose.
- Do not act on one source alone — always confirm onion addresses against the operator's signed announcements.
- Do not blend clear-net identifiers, such as your real email, into onion-based browsing.
- Inclusion in a directory does not mean a platform is "safe" — never assume otherwise.
4. Permitted use
When you use this site, you agree not to:
- Attempt to compromise, scrape excessively, or otherwise abuse the site or its infrastructure.
- Send anything via the forms that is illegal, defamatory, threatening, malicious or that violates someone else's rights.
- Use the site to coordinate or facilitate any form of unlawful activity whatsoever.
- Reuse our content in a way that misrepresents our editorial position or implies an endorsement of a documented platform.
5. Links to third-party sites
The catalog references external addresses, including .onion services we do not operate. We have no control over the content, security, availability or legality of those resources. Following an external link is at your own risk; the responsibility for evaluating that risk is entirely yours.
6. Use of our content
All editorial text, layout, code and original images on Bitcoin Dark Web remain the property of the project authors and are protected by copyright. You may quote short excerpts for review, journalism or academic use with attribution. Wholesale reuse or commercial use needs prior written agreement.
7. Liability disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bitcoin Dark Web, its authors and contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of your use of — or inability to use — this site, including any decisions you make based on information published here.
8. Jurisdiction
Laws vary by country. Some material discussed on this site (such as certain encryption tools or research datasets) may be regulated where you live. You are responsible for ensuring your use of this site complies with your local laws.
9. Updates to these terms
We may revise these terms occasionally. Substantive updates will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
