What is Kingdom Market?
Kingdom Market is a relatively new darknet market site with a vast array of different products. While the majority of offers are listed in the drugs category, you can find various other darknet related purchases as well: Services, Security and Hosting, Jewelery and Art, IDs, Guides and Tutorials, Fraud related material, counterfeits, software and malware and finally carded items.
Kingdom Market offers an affiliate program where you can earn 30% of the profits every time, when a linked user withdraws or deposits funds. Every account automatically gets their own referral link that you can simply pass around. You can check the status of sucessful referrals as well as their deposit amount on the Kingdom Market website.
Rather handy is the search function which allows you to directly search for specific items in the large portfolio. You can limit the selection by category, origin country as well as payment options. Speaking of payments: As with most other darknet market sites you will have to deposit into your account before you can purchase anything. Currently Kingdom Market supports Bitcoin, Monero, Litecoin and Zcash.
Security Recommendations
Same as with all darknet sites the usual security recommendations apply. Most importantly: stay anonymous. Use the TOR browser only and don’t use the TOR browser for any regular (non-darknet) browsing.
Before visiting the site with the TOR browser, you should switch off JavaScript (Options -> Privacy & Security -> Security Level -> Switch to “Safest”). Kingdom Market is explicitly designed so that you don’t need JavaScript which allows you to increase your security by switching it off.
Ideally, you have a dedicated system or at least a dedicated VM for all your darknet activities. Keep your darknet PGP keys and other credentials limited to that system only, do not mix it with any activities that would expose your identity.
Treat your dedicated system like a work-system: Only install the software necessary for your operations do not install anything for entertainment or other purposes. Subsequently, resist the urge to browse Twitter, Reddit or any other social media sites while you have downtime. For this always use your regular system.
For additional system security, we recommend you run a secure operating system like Tails or Whonix on your dedicated system for darknet activities. We also recommend using a VPN as an additional security measure since TOR will only anonymize your browsing sessions but not other traffic.
Especially when using any public WiFi hotspots you should always use a VPN when accessing the Internet since you don’t know whether the access point is compromised. A VPN ensures that all of your traffic, no matter what application, will always be strongly encrypted when passing the access point, this protecting yourself not only from eavesdropping but also possible identity theft.
Kingdom Market Summary
Kingdom Market is a great all-purpose market with lots of different offers but is mostly focused on drugs. At the time of this writing it offered over 2500 different offers in the drugs category. Kingdom Market is definitely worth checking out if you are looking to purchase drugs (or other items) on the darknet, esepcially if you want to pay with litecoin and zcash, since not that many darknet market sites support these currencies. As always, when visiting any darknet vendor shop make sure to only use trusted links, such as the onion link for Kingdom Market on the top.
