Qubez is a brand-new darknet platform designed as an all-in-one solution, blending social media and marketplace features. Marketed as a platform centered on "privacy, control, and freedom," Qubez seeks to provide users with a comprehensive experience. It functions similarly to traditional social media platforms like X but with a unique twist—integrating dark web-oriented features, including a built-in marketplace where users can directly purchase from vendors.
The Core Function
At its core, Qubez can be seen as a darknet-oriented social media platform. Users can create an account through its onion service, gaining access to an interface similar to traditional social media. Once on the platform, users can make posts, explore the timeline, and subscribe to other users or groups, along with other standard social media features like direct messaging. A group chat is also available, allowing all platform members to interact in real-time.
A Built-in Marketplace
One of the key features that makes Qubez special is its built-in marketplace. The marketplace operates like any typical darknet market, allowing users and vendors to buy and sell products directly from each other. All purchases must be made using Monero, which is pre-deposited into the built-in wallet. Transactions are secured with traditional escrow protections.
The marketplace includes all the standard features you'd expect, such as ratings, dispute resolution, and order status tracking. Access to the market is considered a premium feature, requiring a badge worth 500 points, which is equivalent to $5. Vendors are also required to pay a registration fee of 50,000 points, or $500.
Many More Features
Qubez offers a comprehensive points system, where users can purchase points using deposited Monero, with each point valued at 1 cent. These points can be used to purchase badges that provide various perks, such as a Market Access, captcha bypass, and more. Additionally, users can send points to one another as rewards for posts or for any other reason.
The platform also features a "Qubez" section, which serves as a list of trusted onion services. Each service is verified before being listed, making the platform a reliable directory. A gaming feature is also available, allowing users to spin a slot machine with their points for a chance to win a point prize.
Design & Interface
Design-wise, Qubez performs well for a darknet platform. It has a fairly modern and consistent look. While there are design refinements and improvements that could be made, it’s still early to judge or nitpick, as updates are ongoing. The interface is straightforward and clearly social media-oriented.
Qubez's Positioning in the Darknet
The team behind Qubez emphasizes that the platform's primary focus is social media, with the marketplace feature being secondary. They created Qubez to bring the darknet community closer together and reduce hostilities between different services. Additionally, their goal is to provide darknet users with a direct, trusted, and verified source for onion services, which is achieved through the Qubez section.
Our View
In our opinion, the platform shows great promise and potential. Many new features and improvements are being discussed, and the platform is likely to evolve significantly over time. So far, a small but welcoming community has begun to form, with vendors and even markets already registering on the platform, despite its recent launch. We hope the platform succeeds and will continue to update this article as changes are made.
