Community Vote Results

Following a community poll conducted through the platform's internal forum system, the Wethenorth Darknet marketplace officially designated XMR (Monero) as the default payment method for all new deposits and transactions, effective August 1, 2025.

Why XMR Matters for Platform Privacy

The vote was reported as lopsided: approximately 78% of participating community members expressed preference for XMR as the default. Bitcoin will continue to be accepted as a secondary option, but the platform's UI, documentation, and recommended workflows now guide users toward Monero as the first option.
