Is Mars Market online?

Current status

Mars has kept consistent availability since 2023, spreading load across two active onions so a single node going down does not take the market offline. In our last poll both addresses answered within normal latency, and the market stayed reachable through the whole check window.

Availability pattern

Mars's two-node setup gives it a smooth availability curve: brief dips on one address rarely show as downtime because traffic rolls to the second. If you do hit a wall on both at once, it is almost always a local circuit rather than Mars — a fresh Tor circuit clears it nine times out of ten. Across the current window Mars has not posted a full-set outage, so treat a total timeout as a prompt to rebuild your circuit before assuming anything about the market.

What the signals mean

When one Mars node slows, traffic shifts to the second address with no login loss. If both are briefly unreachable, it is almost always a Tor circuit issue on your end rather than the market itself — rebuild the circuit and retry before assuming downtime.
