Grams

Launched in April 2014, Grams was a search engine operating within the Tor network, designed to facilitate access to various darknet markets. It allowed users to search for illicit items, including drugs and weapons, and provided a Bitcoin tumbling service called Helix, aimed at concealing the origins of transactions.

Closure of Original Grams On December 9, 2017, the administrator of Grams announced the termination of all its services, including the Helix tumbling service. The specific reasons behind this cessation were not made public, signaling the conclusion of Grams’ role in the darknet market landscape.

The 2023 Reintroduction of Grams In 2023, a revamped version of the Grams search engine was introduced, specifically designed for the Onion Network. While this new iteration continues to offer market search capabilities, there are lingering questions about its connection to the original Grams platform, as well as concerns over the anonymity and security it provides to its users.

Exercising Caution on the Dark Web Navigating the dark web necessitates a heightened awareness of privacy and security risks. The resurgence of Grams underscores the ever-changing nature of darknet markets and underscores the continuous challenge of maintaining digital security and anonymity for users venturing into these hidden corners of the internet.
