Frequently asked
Which Vortex market link should I open?
The primary address in the infobox while it shows Online. The mirror entries are for times when the primary is slow.
Are vortex url, vortex link and vortex onion different things?
No. They are different names for the same .onion address of the Vortex market.
Why does an entry say Unchecked?
Its address has not passed the comparison with the signed list yet, so the button stays locked.
Can I search this wiki?
Yes. The search box at the top filters all articles by term, title and description.
Does Vortex Wiki collect data?
There are no accounts, forms or tracking scripts on this site.
Is Vortex Wiki part of the Vortex market?
No. It is an independent reference and has no connection to the operators.
Vortex Wiki is independent and has no relationship with the Vortex operators. Listing a checked address is a statement of fact, not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for what happens at any address. Laws about onion services and the activity on them differ between countries; follow the rules where you live.
