Do I register on this website?

No. There is no account on this page and never will be. Sign-up happens inside the market over Tor. A clearnet form asking for Mars credentials is phishing.

Is there a registration fee or deposit to join?

Making an account is free. Any page asking you to pay a deposit before you can register is a scam, full stop.

What if I lose my recovery phrase?

Then the account cannot be restored. The phrase is shown once by design, so store it offline before you go any further.

Can I register from my phone?

Technically possible through Tor Browser for Android, but a dedicated computer offers better isolation and lower operational-security risk.

Should I use my real email to register?

No. Use an email created specifically for this purpose, ideally accessed only over Tor, with no personal information tying it back to you.

Can I change my handle after registering on Mars?

Handle-change policy is set by the market itself. Treat the handle chosen at registration as effectively permanent.

Does registering on Mars require an invite code?

This changes by market and by period. Check the sign-up form inside the verified onion for the current requirement.

Is a VPN required before registering on Mars?

Not required for Tor to function. Some people add one before opening Tor Browser to hide Tor use from their ISP, though that is a separate decision from the Mars registration steps themselves.

Can I register on Mars more than once with different identities?

Nothing blocks a second account, but reusing any detail across accounts links them. Each registration needs its own fully separate identity if separation is the goal.

What should I do if the registration page looks slightly different from what this guide describes?

Minor layout differences are expected. What should not change is the sequence itself; a reversed order or a mid-registration deposit demand is a mismatch worth stopping over.

HOW WE REVIEWour method

How a Mars review gets scored

Every review on this site is scored against five fixed criteria — mirror uptime, PGP practice, escrow model, phishing exposure, clone detection — on a four-point scale, with no aggregate star rating and no user-submitted ratings folded in. No vendor or operator pays for placement or a favorable reading. If that ever changed for a page, it would be disclosed on that page, not buried here.

WHAT WE ARE NOT

What this site is not

We are not the Mars market. We take no orders, hold no funds, and run no escrow for anyone. We cannot process a payment, reset a Mars password, or release an order. Any page that claims to do so under our name is a fake.
