The dark web is a hub illegal and criminal fraudulent activity such as money laundry, drug trade and even human trafficking.  Well that is true to some extent.Also, whistle-blowers use dark web to criticize oppressive regimes without fear of retaliation. Well, that is also true.

Wikileaks is one good example of using untraceable net to voice information about powers. The rise of <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto/malta-ai-blockchain-summit-looks-to-shape-the-future/">Blockchain</a> technology has revolutionized the dark web due to its decentralized and immune nature. As Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are gaining global fame, Blockchain is aiding dark web to rise.
<h2><strong>How dark net works</strong></h2>
Dark web uses advanced encryption methods to remain anonymous to the public. It employs encryption such as the Onion Routing Protocol.The<a href="https://www.torproject.org/download/"> TOR browser</a> employs this encryption. However, TOR is completely enough to access the dark web but users may prefer a more advanced level of anonymity by use of Virtual Private Network (VPN). VPNs hide all internet activities of the user from their Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Onion Routing Protocol simply strips off its sender’s information when it enters the TOR network and bounces around few relay nodes before being delivered. This gives Onion Routing a great degree of anonymity which is impossible to crack.

In this era, world’s governments do a lot more than spy on their citizens. Rightfully, it makes dark net a necessary evil that gives people a voice against tormentors.  Governments and other corporations cannot track down individuals using dark web.
<h2><strong>Blockchain Technology and Dark Net</strong></h2>
Blockchain technology is decentralized and immutable. Records are stored across several users (decentralized) which add the degree of security and reliability.

However, one significant importance of Blockchain technology to dark web is cryptocurrencies. A research carried out on six different drug markets and volume of transactions daily. The daily volume of transaction is approximately $650,000. On average, daily transactions are between $300,000 and $500,000.

Cryptocurrencies are important to carry such transactions in the dark web. The most common crypto used within the dark net is Monero. Monero is more secure and anonymous. It has  advanced concepts of cryptography that  guarantees maximum security and privacy.
<h2><strong>In conclusion</strong></h2>
in recent times, dark web has faced a number of setbacks.From the arrest of the brains behind Silk Road, Ross Williams Ulbritch to the uncovering of loads of data provided by LeakedSource and government intrusions. However, the invention of Blockchain technology has revived the freedom of anonymity once again. With sophisticated cryptocurrencies like Monero and Zcash, we expect more from Blockchain technology in future.
