Archetyp, a drugs-only, XMR-only darknet market, debuted in May 2020. The market now has over 850 listings from 247 merchants, making it a small- to medium-sized darknet market. It employs the traditional account wallet and escrow structure, hence there are no direct pay or multisig alternatives. Archetyp is considerably simpler and easier to explore than most others because it is a drug-only market. We like the night concept for the website background, and the website itself is visually appealing and well-designed.

One unique feature of Archetyp that is not shared by other markets is its ‘Games’ section. Here you can place bets on political and social events, as well as wagers on the market itself. Using the market’s Deadpool function, you may even bet on how darknet markets will close (bust, exit fraud, or retire). While the market’s default currency is euros and much of the English is misspelled, the market caters to a global clientele, with the bulk of vendors based in Europe, the United States, and Australia.

Product Choice
The following categories are represented on Archetyp: Cannabis, Stimulants, Ecstasy, Opiates, Benzodiazepines, Psychedelic, Prescriptions, Steroids, and Dissociatives. Cannabis is by far the most popular of them, with over 230 listings at any given moment. Categories are further subdivided into numerous subcategories, making it quite simple to find the item you’re looking for. In addition to the standard filter and sort options, Archetyp has a “Quantity Sort” option that helps customers to find an item at the lowest price per gram/oz/etc.
Payment Options
Archetyp only accepts Monero (XMR) as a deposit method. Prior to placing an order, account wallets must be funded. The market is unusually simple in that it does not accept payment methods other than Escrow, though it appears that they had intended to incorporate Finalize Early at some point. Although you will still need to know how to use PGP to encrypt order information, the order placement and checkout experience is quite intuitive and user-friendly. Archetyp handles their feedback system in a very transparent, plain manner, and appears eager to listen to clients in the event of a disagreement.
Typical Market Professionals
- Simple, straight-forward market with a good UI.
- XMR-only, forced PGP encryption.
- Order placement made simple for the buyer.
Typical Market Drawbacks
- Limited to drugs, medications, and research chemicals.
- No Direct Pay or Finalize Early options.
- Selection of listings is somewhat limited.
Overall, Archetyp appears to be a good but underserved darknet market that has yet to truly establish itself. Archetyp routinely generates headlines on Twitter and elsewhere due to its Deadpool section, which allows users to vote on how other darknet markets should close down. Apart from that, it is little discussed, resulting in a tiny yet close-knit group for the time being.
