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.
Hostname normalization reduces false matches caused by protocol prefixes, capitalization, trailing dots and unrelated path text.
Separate hostname from URL text
Extract the hostname before comparing a full URL with another claim.
Paths and parameters can contain familiar words while pointing to a different registered domain.
Use one comparison form
Record lowercase hostnames without protocol or path in the evidence table, while retaining the original claim separately.
This makes character-level differences visible without losing source fidelity.
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 Do not publish or follow a destination until its source, role and current context are independently documented.
Check canonical consistency
Confirm that a reviewed public page declares one HTTPS canonical hostname.
A consistent canonical makes it easier for search engines to consolidate discovery signals.
