Silk Road 3.1 was a dark web marketplace operating on the Tor network, representing one of the iterations carrying the infamous "Silk Road" brand name after the original and Silk Road 2.0 were shut down by law enforcement. Like its predecessors, its core function was to provide an anonymous platform for the trade of illicit goods and services. Listings typically included a wide range of contraband, often heavily focused on narcotics, but also potentially featuring stolen financial data, counterfeit documents, malware, and hacking services. It relied on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for transactions and likely incorporated features such as vendor rating systems and escrow mechanisms to build trust, albeit in an inherently untrustworthy environment. Carrying the Silk Road name brought notoriety but also intense scrutiny. Participation in such markets is illegal and carries severe risks, including scams, loss of funds, and potential prosecution.
