Editorial scope: This independent guide explains verification methods and does not publish or route readers to a claimed Mars Market URL, mirror, onion or transaction destination.
An onion reference should be recorded with the same care as any other address claim, without treating mention, repetition or a screenshot as proof.
Capture the reference context
Record the publisher, visible date and surrounding explanation that introduced the onion claim.
A bare string without source context is difficult to evaluate later.
Preserve exact spelling
Character-level differences can create a different address, so retain the claimed form in a controlled evidence record.
Avoid presenting a reference as a clickable destination while its provenance remains unresolved.
Review principle: Treat every Mars Market address claim as time-bound evidence. Do not publish or follow a destination until its source, role and current context are independently documented.
Explain the limitation
State which parts of the claim were observed and which parts remain unsupported.
Transparent limitations are more useful than a confident statement without a review trail.
