This darknet market launched in September 2020.
Modeled after the seized original Empire market and AlphaBay market, the marketplace offers products in the following categories; fraud, drugs & chemicals, guides, guns, electronics, counterfeit items, digital products, jewels & gold, carded items, software, security, and hosting services among others.
Even though the site deals with illicit products, it has banned the sale of fentanyl and terrorist activities, and vendors found engaging in the businesses will have their account suspended.
Market was initially designed to accept only Monero as a payment option. But ever since its launch, the marketplace has operated under the slogan ‘If we need it, add it’ and, in turn, implemented a wide range of features.
Since Dark Empire Market v3 was modeled after Empire market and AlphaBay, its main aim was to become the biggest market. This seems to be happening as Empire v3 is among the most reputable sites on the dark web today.
Despite the challenges facing markets, Empire continues to serve the community diligently. In its time, the site has witnessed the fall of notable markets such as Dream, Wallstreet, Olympus, and Valhalla, among others. In one instance, Nightmare, a market which was established after Empire grew to surpass it in listings and customer base, but pulled an exit scam before a year in service.
Hacks
Just like any other site on the dark web, our market has had its share of multiple hacks that have caused the marketplace to experience significant downtime.
Starting the second quarter of 2019, a majority of the top darknet markets and forums were faced with DDoS attacks that pushed the offline for hours and even days.
The issue was not on the side of the markets, but with Tor. Some markets were very inconvenienced that some of them made large donations towards Tor to fix the problem.
