The domain darkmatter.market was registered on May 11, 2026 through Tucows Domains Inc. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is identified as a Cloudflare network location in Canada. An HTTP GET request returns a 200 OK status and the page title “Dark Matter Market — Official Link & Access”, indicating a live web presence.
The hosting infrastructure uses Cloudflare’s DNS services, as shown by the authoritative nameservers chip.ns.cloudflare.com and barbara.ns.cloudflare.com. TLS termination is performed by a certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, confirming the use of a publicly trusted certificate chain.
Threat intelligence sources have flagged the domain on a single security blocklist and recorded a trust score of 0 out of 100 from a reputation engine. The domain appears in one AlienVault OTX pulse, and scanners collectively reported 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting that detection signatures have not yet been applied.
Given the active status, the presence of a trusted TLS certificate, and the lack of detections, defenders should treat the domain as a potential phishing vector pending further investigation. It is advisable to block the domain at network perimeter, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP and nameservers, and enable sinkholing of any observed payloads. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended as additional telemetry becomes available.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
