About Ares Market
Ares Market was a darknet market that emerged in 2022, emphasizing a user-friendly interface and fast transaction speeds. It operated on a direct-pay system, meaning users did not need to deposit funds into a central market wallet, reducing the risk of exit scams. While smaller than some of the larger markets, Ares offered a variety of listings. Ares Market is now offline, and the reasons for its closure are unknown. Users should be extremely cautious of any sites claiming to be a 'relaunch' or 'successor' to Ares, as these are highly likely to be scams.

Frequently Asked Questions
The exact reasons for Ares Market's closure are unknown. Darknet markets can go offline for various reasons, including law enforcement action, exit scams (where the operators steal user funds), voluntary shutdowns, or technical issues.
No, there is no official new version of Ares Market. Any site claiming to be a relaunched Ares Market is almost certainly a scam. Do NOT attempt to use any such site.
If you had funds on Ares Market when it went offline, those funds are likely lost. This is one of the inherent risks of using darknet markets. It is always recommended to keep only the minimum necessary funds on any darknet market.
Ares Market used a direct-pay system and accepted Bitcoin (BTC).
The information available suggests Ares Market primarily used direct pay. While some form of escrow *might* have been available for select vendors or transactions, it was not a primary feature like on many other markets. This increased the risk for buyers.
While Ares Market was marketed as being fast and user friendly, all darknet markets come with inherent risks. Since the market is now offline and the details surrounding its closure are unclear, it is impossible to confirm how 'safe' it truly was.
