Creating an Account in Asap Market

After you have found an authentic market link (mirror), the first thing that you will need to do will be to fill out a unique captcha, which expires after 30 seconds. You will then be directed to the ASAP Market landing page, which looks like this:

image

Notice in the upper-right corner of the screen there is an option named “Register”. Click that button to start creating an account.

You will need to enter the following to create an account:

User name: choose a unique username that cannot be associated with your real life identity or any of your online identities.

Password: create a unique password that is preferably a random combination of numbers, letters and at least one special character, and don’t forget to store it in a secure place.

PIN: create a 6-8 digit PIN number that will be used to confirm purchases and withdrawals.

The account creation screen will look like this when correctly filled:

Press the “Register” button when you have entered all your information. If everything goes according to plan, your account will be created, and you will be returned to the login screen with a message that says “Registration successful” at the top. From here, you will re-enter you username and password to log in to the market and be brought to the home page, which looks like this:

After logging in for the first time, you are now free to browse the market. However, there are a few things you’ll need to take care of before placing an order. The first of these is adding a PGP key to your account. To set your PGP key, hover over the “Profile” option in the upper right corner of the screen and click “Security”. There are a lot of security options on ASAP Market, but the one we are looking for right now can be found by scrolling down to the text box next to the words “PGP public key”. It is in this box where you will paste your PGP public key. It will look something like this when correctly filled:

image

After you have pasted your public key, check the “Enable 2FA” box if you want an extra bit of security when logging in (you will need to decrypt a message encrypted with your public key in order to log in). Then click “Change PGP/2FA” to continue. You will now be asked to decrypt a message in order to prove ownership of the public key you posted. Copy the PGP encrypted message and paste it into your PGP client. After decrypting the message, which is a string of numbers and letters, paste it onto the line that says “Verification token” under the text box with the encrypted message in it. It should look something like this when correctly filled:

When you are ready, press “Verify” to proceed. If you have entered the code correctly, you will be brought back to the top of the Security options page with a message that says “PGP/2FA settings changed successfully” at the top.

OPSEC tip: You will see that there is a place on your user Profile page where you can upload an avatar for your account. We recommend against doing this as it’s just another way in which your account can be tied to your identity or otherwise used against you. The same principle goes for adding anything potentially identifying in the “About” section of your profile: it’s better to leave it blank altogether.

Funding Your Asap Market Account

The next thing you’ll need to do is fund your account; of course, you don’t have to do this before finding something worth purchasing on the market. ASAP uses the old-school central wallet system where each user is assigned a deposit address and all deposited funds are held by the market. This makes them more prone to hacking attempts and potentially exit scams, and the admins of ASAP itself recommend keeping coin balances in market accounts at a minimum when possible.

ASAP Market supports two coins as deposit options: Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Both have their pros and cons, but if you are a privacy-minded person and want to practice good OPSEC then it is recommended that you only deposit Monero to the market. This is because it is much harder to trace the origin and destination of funds with XMR as these details are not recorded to its blockchain. If you insist on using BTC, it is highly recommended that send BTC from a mixing service, like Wasabi Wallet or ChipMixer.

To fund your account with BTC, click the BTC balance directly to the left of your username. To deposit XMR, hover over the balance and then select the XMR option directly beneath the option for BTC. For the purposes of this guide, we will be demonstrating how to deposit BTC.

Here, you can see that the market has generated a BTC SegWit address to which funds for future orders will be deposited. You can see the address in text and QR code form, which makes it easy for paying from a mobile device. Once your incoming transaction has received 2 confirmations by the Bitcoin network, the amount will be credited to your account, and you can begin to place orders.

In order to prevent “dust attacks” (a way of potentially identifying information about addresses), ASAP will not credit deposits of less than 0.00025 BTC to your account. Sending an amount less than this to your address will result in a loss of funds.

Browsing Asap Market

Listings at ASAP Market are divided into the following categories (along with their current counts):

The layout of ASAP is a bit different from most other markets which can make it confusing for first time visitors. While it’s nice that you can browse the market without being logged in, the way that listings are organized is a bit scattered (whether logged in or out of the market). The only upside to this is that ASAP doesn’t have a whole lot of listings, and their filtering system is good enough to narrow them down to products only relevant to you.

Stimulants, RCs, Cannabis & Hashish, Drug Paraphernalia, Steroids, Barbiturates, Fraud, Weight Loss, Ecstasy, Prescriptions, Opioids, Counterfeits, Dissociatives, Digital Goods, Benzos, Psychedelics

Here is a screenshot of the market landing page, after scrolling down past the phishing warning message:

Each listing on ASAP contains the following information:

Price
Vendor name
Ships to/from
Positive/Negative reviews

Perhaps the most important quality on ASAP Market is the vendor’s trust ratings, as the market doesn’t readily present a whole lot of information about a vendor’s total or individual sales. This means that you should definitely consider only placing orders with vendors who have multiples sales experiences under their belt – and positive ones at that. Clicking on a vendor name will bring up more information about them, including their feedback verified from other markets. Only place an order with zero feedback if you are feeling lucky.

Searching For Products On Asap Market

Conducting a search on ASAP is pretty simple. You can either select a category from the left hand size, or enter what you're looking for in the search bar at the top of the page. Of course, this will bring back many results which aren't necessarily relevant to you if the sellers aren't in the relevant location. You can therefore filter your search by category, shipped from / to location, maximum / minimum price range etc.

image

One thing to note is that by default, search results will show the most recent listings first, which can be quite frustrating as you'll end up viewing listings with very few or no reviews. It is unfortunate that ASAP does not use better search algorithms by default, as it can make finding the right product take longer than otherwise necessary.

The results are displayed is a grid view showing key information such as the product name, price, vendor, shipping from / to locations and an overview of feedback.

Purchasing Products on Asap Market

If you find a product you like, just click on its name and you'll be taken to the product details page. There you'll find a detailed description of the product and you can also see any feedback it has received from other buyers. The feedback is on a positive/negative basis, which is less subjective than the star rating system that many markets use, so this is definitely a plus for ASAP.

You'll see the feedback under the name 'a********s', which just stands for 'anonymous'. I can assure you that there is no user with a username beginning in 'a' and ending in 's' buying every product on the market, despite what some people seem to believe. It is, however, an unusual decision to display it in this way. It's also a bit frustrating that the feedback isn't always displayed in date order. This makes it tricky to quickly see the most recent reviews on a listing with lots of them, as you have to scroll through the whole list. Let's hope this is fixed in a future update.

It's a shame that product listings only contain one image, which isn't particularly high resolution. This can make it harder to visually analyse a product. It's a bit of a letdown for buyers when most markets only give vendors the option of using one image.

We would like to kindly remind you to be cautious when making a cryptocurrency deposit. It is advisable to check that the site you are visiting is legitimate by comparing the onion link with those listed on our site.

So, you've found something you want to buy? Just a heads-up: ASAP Market isn't walletless, so the first thing you'll need to do is deposit funds to your market wallet. You can use either Bitcoin or Monero. Both payment types are accepted by all vendors. Monero is faster, has lower transaction fees and is much safer, so we always recommend this over Bitcoin.

Before you make a cryptocurrency deposit, make sure you're not on a phishing site (check your onion link against those listed on DNMLinks or another reputable source such as Dread), then send funds to the wallet address provided in the wallet section of your account. Unfortunately, ASAP doesn't send any notifications about pending transactions, so you won't know your deposit has gone through until it's shown in your wallet. Just keep refreshing until it shows up. This usually takes around 10 confirmations for Monero or 2 for Bitcoin. Please be patient as this may take a while.

Once we've got your deposit, we can get the ball rolling on your purchase. Just choose the items you want from the relevant product page and click 'Add to Basket'. You can buy more than one item from the same vendor in one go, but not from different vendors.

Once you've picked out what you want and got to the checkout, you'll first need to choose how you want it shipped. Unfortunately, you won't see the shipping prices before this, so it's a good idea to check before you make a deposit to make sure you have enough in your wallet to cover it. Next, you'll choose your currency (BTC or XMR), then add your address and any other instructions for the vendor.

By default, messages to the vendor won't be encrypted, but you can use the auto-encrypt option to encrypt your message using the vendor's PGP key. However, we really recommend you encrypt these details yourself rather than relying on a dark web market to do it for you. You can find the vendor's public PGP key on their vendor profile page.

Once we've got your order all confirmed and submitted, you'll be able to see it in your 'Orders' menu. Once the vendor has accepted, shipped or cancelled the order, you'll see it here. You'll see a notification in this section whenever there's an update. Once your order has arrived, you can then mark it as received and leave feedback for the buyer. If there’s an issue, you can also raise a dispute, which will then be reviewed by our team. We always suggest you try to contact the vendor first before going ahead with a dispute.

Conclusions on Asap Market:

Positives:

- Relatively intuitive layout

- Monero support

- Tough stance on scammers

- Huge selection of vendors and products

Negatives:

- Search results displayed by most recently added by default

- Vendor and product feedback not displayed in date order

- Deposits have to be made into a wallet before a purchase can be made

- Somewhat dated feel

With its modern and visually appealing interface, Asap Market has the potential to gain the interest of buyers and vendors alike. While there may be some improvements that could be made to enhance the user experience, it seems likely that Asap Market will become a familiar name to darknet users in the near future.
