The majority of listings on Archetyp are for drugs (with the biggest categories being cannabis and stimulants) with a very small number of other products, such as SIM cards.
Somewhat unusually for the “mainstream” dark web markets, Archetyp allows the sale of fentanyl and analogous substances.
Many markets prohibit fentanyl listings, along with products and services such as weapons, poison, CSAM, and hit-man-for-hire in an attempt to avoid the attention of law enforcement.
