**Archetyp** is a **drug only** marketplace and initially began as an **EU only** market, but later turned into a **Worldwide operation**.

**Archetyp** is **one of only 5 markets** on **Dread’s Darknet Markets Superlist**. They are considered the **#1/#2 market in the world**. **Incognito Market** **shares the same #1/#2 market status** **based on** the **number of vendors.** We will go into Incognito Market on a future Medium article.

**Archetyp** was **initially announced** in **May 2020**. Since then Archetyp has become **one of the largest Darknet markets in the world**.

Let us go in depth on what makes this market a favorite for many users.

### User Experience / User Interface

**Archetyp’s UI/UX** is **one of the best** we have seen when it comes to a marketplace. The market is **very easy to navigate** with a **small header at the top that allows you to do the following**: Access the market, access the forum, your Orders, Disputes, Messages, Shopping Cart, Profile, Favorite Listings/Vendors/Feedback, Wallet showing how much you have on the market, Get help/support, access settings and Logout.

Archetyp Navigation Bar

Archetyp has a **clean interface** allowing you to do a quick search by clicking on a category. You **also have the ability to do a more in depth search** by finding specific vendors by clicking the drop down, a specific drug category, Source (country) and Destination (country), minimum amount, unit type (mg, g, oz, lb, kg, pill, tab, ml, other, all), from/to price, and search term. As you can see from the category list, there are currently 11,499 different listings.
