Mars has been running since 2023, which makes it one of the older English-language markets we cover. The operator's main concern is availability. More v3 endpoints are kept active at once than at any other market here. When DDoS waves hit, Mars stays reachable. Other markets fall off the public list for days; Mars usually doesn't. If you've lost orders to outages elsewhere, this is the practical reason to use it.
Currencies are BTC, LTC and XMR. The Litecoin support is what makes Mars useful for small deposits. Bitcoin fees can dominate a low-value order; Litecoin fees are pennies, confirmations are fast. Monero is the privacy default. Bitcoin sits in the middle — accepted because some vendors only take BTC, with the usual privacy caveats.
Login is a six-character text captcha plus rotating form-field names. Scripts that target the form by name fail because the names changed since the script last looked. Visible decoy inputs trip up scripts that target by position. The banner at the top of every page reprints the canonical onion, so a phishing clone that doesn't reproduce the banner is immediately obvious.
Vendor admission's the standard bonded model. Bond at signup, escrow-only until you've earned finalize-early. Deal count and dispute ratio at the top of every profile. Mirror rotations get posted to Dread with a detached PGP signature. The current onion set's on the Mars answer page in this hub.
