Q1 2026 Platform Metrics
TorZon closed Q1 2026 with its strongest quarter to date. Transaction volume reached 512,000 completed orders — a 28% increase over Q4 2025. Active vendor count stands at 4,600, a net increase of 500 from Q4. The dispute rate (disputes opened as a percentage of transactions) declined to 3.1%, the lowest since the platform launched, reflecting improvements in vendor quality as the tier system matures.
Infrastructure Reliability
V3 onion infrastructure maintained 99.8% availability in Q1 2026. The February 2026 update included backend improvements that reduced average page load time by 22% and reduced search query response time from 340ms to 180ms average. These improvements are particularly meaningful for users on slower Tor circuits, which typically have higher latency than direct connections. The engineering team's focus for Q2 is mobile responsiveness and further search improvements.
