Security Features
Protecting your transactions and anonymity
Our Commitment to Security
Since 2021, Abacus Market has prioritized user safety with state-of-the-art security features. Our platform, accessible via our onion link, employs multiple layers of protection to ensure anonymity, data integrity, and transaction reliability.
From DDoS mitigation to smart contract escrow, our features safeguard over 60,000 daily transactions across 30+ countries.
Key Security Features
-
DDoS Protection
Our servers use advanced mitigation techniques to repel Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks, ensuring 99.9% uptime. We partner with darknet-compatible CDN providers to distribute traffic securely.
-
Multi-Signature Escrow
Transactions use 2-of-3 multi-signature wallets (buyer, seller, Abacus Market). Funds are released only when all parties agree, reducing scam risks. Ethereum transactions leverage smart contracts for automated escrow.
-
Anti-Phishing Measures
Users set a custom login phrase displayed on every session to verify the authentic site. We also use CAPTCHA and rate-limiting to block automated bots.
-
PGP Encryption
All vendor and support communications are encrypted using PGP, ensuring sensitive data (e.g., shipping details) remains private.
-
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Optional PGP-based 2FA adds an extra layer of account security, mandatory for vendors and recommended for buyers.
