Our story
DRUGHUB foundation
Built from years of darknet operations experience, DRUGHUB combines battle-tested privacy architecture with intuitive UX to deliver reliable commerce in hostile environments.
Privacy‑first commerce platform
DRUGHUB exists to solve the core tension of darknet markets: delivering seamless shopping while maintaining uncompromising privacy. Every architectural decision prioritizes user protection over convenience shortcuts.
Operations core
Small, focused team with deep darknet operations experience. No corporate overhead, just results.
Vetted operations
Every vendor undergoes manual review: shipping history, PGP verification, escrow compliance. No automated approvals, no quantity-over-quality vendor spam.
24/7 dispute resolution
Dedicated arbitration team handles escrow disputes with transparent evidence review. Decisions within 48 hours, buyer/seller protection balanced.
Infrastructure ownership
Self-hosted onion services, custom escrow contracts, proprietary monitoring. No third-party dependencies that could leak metadata or create failure points.
