According to the BigBossChefOfArchetyp main administrator and owner of Archetyp Market 1 week ago there was an IP leak of their clearnet link provider service, archetyp.cc website. It all started with a username on Dread forum called archetypleaked who claimed that he hacked the server of Archetyp Market and requested 100 XMR (Monero) in order to not continue exposing more information. However, it all turned out to be a scam as the main admin of Archetyp confirmed that there was in fact an IP leak, but not that of a Archetyp Market server, but link provider one.
Full statement from Archetyp admin is below:
Hey,
this is what we received from CloudFlare today:
Cloudflare received a phishing report regarding:
archetyp[.]cc
Below is the report we received:
Reporter: Anonymous
Reported URLs:
hxxps://www[.]archetyp[.]cc
Original Work: Archetyp DarkWeb Marketplace
Logs or Evidence of Abuse: Dear Cloudflare Security Team,
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the domain
www.archetyp.cc, which is associated with a rotator service for the dark web market
known as Archetype. This market is reportedly involved in the sale of illegal
substances, including fentanyl, which poses a significant risk to public safety,
particularly to children worldwide.
Key Points of Concern:
Association with Dark Web Market: The PGP signature displayed on the website
verifies that the onion links provided for accessing the Archetype market belong
to the market administrator. This indicates a direct association between the
domain and illicit activities.
Phishing Domain: While www.archetyp.cc itself may not be a phishing domain, it
is important to note that archetyp.cc is suspected of phishing activities. Given
the nature of the content and services offered, it is crucial to consider the
potential risks associated with both the main domain and its subdomains.
Illegal Activities: The Archetype market is reportedly facilitating the sale of
dangerous drugs, including fentanyl, which have been linked to numerous
fatalities, particularly among children. This raises significant ethical and
legal concerns regarding the hosting and support of such a domain.
Responsibility of Domain Name Servers: As the nameservers for archetyp.cc are
managed by Cloudflare, there is a responsibility to take action against domains
that are involved in criminal activities. The continued operation of this domain
under your services could implicate Cloudflare in facilitating these illegal
activities.
Request for Action:
Given the serious nature of these allegations, I urge Cloudflare to investigate the
activities associated with www.archetyp.cc and its subdomains. It is imperative to
take swift action to prevent further harm and to uphold the integrity of your
services.
Conclusion:
The potential risks associated with the continued operation of this domain are
significant. I trust that Cloudflare will take this matter seriously and act
accordingly to protect the public from the dangers posed by the Archetype market.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
Andrew
We have forwarded this complaint to your hosting provider. We have restricted

So unfortunately I have to confirm that this post (on Dread) is partly true. The part with the IP. The rest he posted is bullshit, he did not hack anything, he neither stopped a connection because there is no API. It’s a 0% risk to the market, just like the previous IP leak of a Clearnet service of us.
We encrypt everything ahead of time, every message you can get from that site is a signed mirror already encrypted with your key. We store it as fingerprint.txt and load it if you request it. The server is disposable and we won’t use CloudFlare from now on and move to a different provider.
If someone can recommend us a different provider that fits us better than CloudFlare, feel free to leave a comment below.
