Agora is an online black market operated as a Tor hidden service. It launched in 2013 and in September 2014 surpassed Silk Road to become the largest Dark Net marketplace.[2]

All transactions on Agora are conducted with bitcoin.[3]

Agora was unaffected by Operation Onymous, the November 2014 seizure of several major online dark markets (most notably the Silk Road) by law enforcement.[4]
