Torzon has officially passed the 15,000 verified vendors milestone, marking a new stage of growth for the marketplace while maintaining strict security and quality standards.
Despite tighter verification rules, higher bonds, and continuous monitoring, the vendor base continues to expand, showing strong trust from both long-term and newly onboarded sellers.
Marketplace at a Glance
Growth remains controlled and curated: the focus is not on raw volume but on reputation, performance and security of vendors allowed to operate on the platform.
Growth Without Compromise
The vendor count has grown steadily even after the introduction of the new Vendor Verification 2.0 pipeline and increased bond requirements, which filter out low-effort and risky sellers.
Only a fraction of applications make it through the automated and manual review process, ensuring that each new vendor strengthens the marketplace instead of diluting its trust model.
Onboarding Funnel
This structure keeps the vendor ecosystem dense with reliable actors and minimizes scams, exit attempts, and low-quality operations.
Vendor Ecosystem Diversity
The 15,000+ vendors span multiple categories, with strong representation in digital goods, services, and regional-specific offerings, allowing buyers to choose from a wide range of trusted suppliers.
Geographic distribution and category diversity reduce dependency on a few large sellers and help maintain resilience even when individual vendors leave or get delisted.
Safety, Enforcement & Cleanup
Vendor growth goes hand in hand with strict enforcement. Accounts with repeated disputes, fraudulent patterns, or policy violations are suspended or fully removed, with bond confiscation applied in severe cases.
Continuous reputation scoring, dispute analytics, and buyer feedback are used to detect problematic vendors early and protect users and other sellers from collateral damage.
Message to Current & New Vendors
For existing vendors, this milestone signals a stronger, more active marketplace with a larger buyer base and better infrastructure, while maintaining strict rules that keep competition fair and serious.
For new applicants, expectations remain clear: solid operational history, reliable communication, and willingness to stake 5 XMR as a bond are now baseline requirements for entry.
