AlphaBay is a legendary dark web marketplace which was by the FBI’s own words the biggest darknet marketplace to have ever existed. The platform was shutdown in 2017 by authorities during Operation Bayonet but they were unable to capture many of the staff members including its co-founder and security administrator DeSnake.
On 7th August 2021 DeSnake re-opened AlphaBay for business after having his identity verified by PGP, forum admins, ex-AlphaBay staff members (those not caught) and multiple security researchers.
AlphaBay is a principle-driven, vision oriented and community centered marketplace and Forum for all black market items. It boasts of mature management, unparalleled security, 24/7 professional & well-trained Staff. It is the marketplace which introduced most features you see today on other places such as sticky listing, featured listings, autoshops, monero as a payment, PGP-signed addresses, shared account access for vendors and so on.
Alphabay Unique Features
Apart from the usual autoshop, autodispatch listings, sticky and featured listings, ScamWatch, innovative features which it introduces on launch.
- AlphaGuard which protects wallets of both buyers and vendors in case of police raids on all servers by giving them opportunity to finish escrows, disputes and withdraw funds.
- Automated Dispute Resolver (ADR) system is a dispute resolution system. It is used between buyer and seller as they send propositions in case of disputes. For example replacement/reship, percentage refund, extending escrow and more all without a human moderator.
- Advanced Trust/Distrust System for buyers and vendors as well as review system for both as well.
- Default privacy for buyers makes all profiles private by default. When you make a purchase, only your purchase history will be shared to the vendor.
These and many more pave the way for this world class marketplace to reach the top once again.
Alphabay Decentralization Goal
DeSnake has started building the next generation decentralized marketplace network. This new version will allow markets and vendor shops from all around the world to join and form the future. The network will make it impossible to LE takedowns and it will be the long awaited progress in the darknet market scene.

Is alpha bay really came back or is it scam.
never work ! and very very slow ……
Anti-DDoS not work ! and site very very slow
pretty solid market and its been up most of the time. the real problem is on darkode i can’t get more than 2 minutes of browsing but on alphabay its at least an hour without an issue. torrez is dead and world market has problems from time to time.
my personal review 5 stars the design is intuitive and simple for noobs and their support answers fast. the only minus i can think of is they need to fix the icons to work on highest tor browser setting apart from that its a blast from the golden days
been on and off in the past few days but seems really stable now already made few purchases lots of old vendors on there!
Helo is alpha bay is really back or it’s scam
Is it up and running now ? I want to login and at least see if it seems legit.. could be a honeypot for dafedz or just an exit scam made by someone who got DS’ PGP somehow .. but I’ll spend like 50$ to find out lol
its the real deal they’ve been hit pretty hard by ddos but its up now
what happens ?
Why is this down again..?
