The short answers. If you need more, the Contact page has other ways to reach us.

What is TrustWeb?

TrustWeb is a neutral reputation platform for the darknet. We help users verify vendors and buyers through reviews, PGP keys, and trust history.

Is TrustWeb a marketplace?

No. We do not host sales or transactions. We only provide reputation and information. You'll never buy anything from us — and we don't want you to.

How do I verify a vendor?

Check their TrustWeb rating, disputes, market history, and PGP key. Always verify PGP independently — never trust a badge alone. See the PGP page for details.

How do I report a scam?

Use the report function in the forum, or contact a moderator. Provide evidence when possible — screenshots, transaction records, PGP signatures.

Is TrustWeb anonymous?

Yes. We do not require personal information. No email, no phone number, no real name. Always access TrustWeb via Tor.

Can I access TrustWeb without Tor?

No. TrustWeb is onion-only. The site you're looking at right now is a static information page — it has no login, no accounts, and no data. All actual activity happens on the onion service.

Why do you require PGP verification?

PGP is the only way to prove identity without trusting a central authority. A vendor's key either signs the challenge or it doesn't. There's no middle ground, no admin discretion, no badge to buy.

Who runs TrustWeb?

An anonymous team. See the founder interview for the honest version.

Does TrustWeb log IPs or use analytics?

No. No IPs. No analytics. No cookies for tracking. This clearnet page sets no cookies at all. The onion service is Tor-native — by design.

How is this different from other review sites?

Three things: (1) we don't sell placement, (2) moderation is transparent and logged, (3) reputation is cryptographically verifiable. See Why we built this for the full story.
