Nine Tor markets, sorted by what you need rather than by rank
Most directories give you a list and a winner. A list is not much use when your real constraint is that you only hold Monero, or that you need French, or that you want the one that has been running longest. So this catalogue is built the other way round: pick the condition, and it shows which of the nine fit and why the others do not.
What this catalogue does not do
No market on this site is ranked, recommended or paid for. There is no best market here, because best depends entirely on a constraint you have and this site does not. What it has instead is the small number of facts about each one that can be checked from outside, and pages that sort on those.
Start from your constraint
Ten conditions. Each page lists which of the nine markets satisfy it, which come close, and what you give up by filtering on that particular thing.
Or start from the coin you hold
Four coins appear across the nine. Which ones a market takes is the hardest constraint on this whole site, because if it does not take what you hold, nothing else about it matters.
The nine, in one table
Oldest first. Everything in this table is checkable from outside: when the market first appeared, which coins it advertises, how many addresses it publishes, and which language and region it is aimed at.

The addresses
Twenty nine published addresses across the nine markets, grouped by market and listed as given. The full set with nothing else on the page is at all addresses.
What a published address means
A published address is a statement about what is in circulation. It is not a statement that the address is up, and it is not a statement that whatever answers there is the market. Those are three different claims and only the first one is being made here.
WeTheNorth
Since 2021. Takes BTC, XMR. Canada, English and French. 3 published addresses.

The remaining seven markets and all their addresses are on the vault page, and each one also has its own page with the same set plus what is known about it.
Head to head
Five pairs that get asked about most, written one at a time rather than generated from a template, because a generated comparison says the same thing about every pair and helps nobody.
- Nexus or TorZonLitecoin and a smaller set against an extra year and five addresses.
- Nexus or AnubisA year of record against one more coin at checkout.
- TorZon or BlackOpsFive addresses and a choice of coin against Monero and nothing else.
- WeTheNorth or NexusThe oldest and regional against the middle aged and global.
- Awazon or OsirisIdentical on every checkable fact, and that is the finding.
How to read any of this
The facts here are thin on purpose. Age, coins, address count, language. That is close to everything an outsider can actually establish about a Tor market, and any directory listing more than that is either quoting the market about itself or making it up.
What you will not find is uptime percentages, trust scores, safety ratings or a verified badge. Those all require measurement or authority that nobody publishing a catalogue like this one has. How this list works sets out exactly what was used and what was refused.
Questions about this
How many Tor markets are on this site?
Nine, with twenty nine published addresses between them. The list is deliberately short. Every entry has been running long enough to have a track record you can look up elsewhere.
Which one is the best?
The question has no answer without a constraint. Pick the one that matches yours from the filter pages, and if you have no constraint, the coin you hold is the one that decides most.
Are these addresses safe?
Safety is not a property of a string. An address tells you where to knock. Who answers is settled by checking a signed statement, which is covered on every market page.
Is any of this paid for?
No. No advertising, no affiliate arrangements and no money from any market. Stated here so you can hold the site to it.
