WTN Beginner's Guide

Welcome to We The North

This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about using We The North marketplace safely and effectively. Whether you're completely new to darknet markets or just new to WTN, this guide covers all the essential information you need to get started on WeTheNorth in 2026.

We The North has established itself as Canada's premier darknet marketplace since its launch in July 2021. The WTN market distinguishes itself through its exclusive focus on Canadian users, mandatory escrow protection, and rigorous vendor verification. This guide will help you navigate WeTheNorth safely and make the most of your experience.

How We The North Escrow Protects You

The mandatory escrow system on We The North is one of the key features that sets WTN apart from other marketplaces. Here's how it works:

1. Order Placement: When you place an order on WeTheNorth, your payment goes to escrow - not directly to the vendor.
2. Vendor Notification: The WTN vendor receives notification of your order and can see that funds are secured in escrow.
3. Order Fulfillment: The vendor prepares and ships your order. On We The North, all shipping is domestic within Canada.
4. Delivery Confirmation: Once you receive your order, you confirm delivery on WeTheNorth, releasing escrow to the vendor.
5. Dispute Option: If something goes wrong, you can open a dispute on WTN instead of finalizing. Moderators will review evidence from both parties.

The We The North escrow system has protected thousands of users from potential scams. By never allowing direct payments, WTN ensures vendors cannot simply take your money without delivering. This mandatory protection is why WeTheNorth maintains one of the lowest scam rates among darknet marketplaces.

How to Select Reliable Vendors on We The North

Selecting the right vendor is crucial for a positive experience on We The North. The WTN marketplace provides several metrics to help buyers make informed decisions. Understanding how to interpret these metrics will significantly reduce your risk when shopping on WeTheNorth.

Check Vendor Level and Tenure

On We The North, vendor levels indicate their established presence on the platform. Higher-level vendors have completed more successful transactions and maintained positive feedback over time. New vendors may offer competitive prices on WTN, but they carry inherently higher risk. For your first few orders on WeTheNorth, consider sticking with established vendors who have at least several months of activity.

Analyze Feedback Ratings

The We The North feedback system allows buyers to rate vendors after each transaction. Look for vendors with consistently high ratings across many reviews. Pay attention to recent feedback on WTN rather than just overall scores - a vendor with great historical ratings but recent negative reviews may be experiencing issues. Read individual feedback comments on WeTheNorth to understand specific buyer experiences.

Review Response Time

Active vendors on We The North typically respond to messages within 24-48 hours. The WTN platform displays vendor response metrics that indicate their typical reply speed. Vendors who respond quickly are generally more reliable and attentive to orders. Before purchasing on WeTheNorth, consider sending a brief message to gauge their responsiveness.

Verify Product Descriptions

Reliable We The North vendors provide detailed product descriptions including specifications, shipping methods, and processing times. Vague or minimal descriptions on WTN listings may indicate inexperienced or unreliable sellers. Professional WeTheNorth vendors often include photos and specific details about their products.

Start Small

Even with well-reviewed vendors, your first order on We The North should be relatively small. This allows you to test the vendor's reliability, shipping speed, and product quality without significant financial risk. Once you've established a positive relationship with a WTN vendor, you can confidently make larger orders on WeTheNorth.

How WTN Disputes Work

The We The North dispute system provides protection when orders don't go as expected. Understanding how to properly use this system ensures you can recover funds in problematic situations. Here's everything you need to know about disputes on WTN.

When to Open a Dispute

Consider opening a dispute on We The North if: your order hasn't arrived within the expected timeframe and vendor communication has stopped, the product received differs significantly from the listing description, or you experience other serious issues with your WTN transaction. Always try to resolve issues directly with the vendor first through WeTheNorth messages before escalating to a dispute.

The Dispute Process on WeTheNorth

To open a dispute on We The North, navigate to your order page and select the dispute option before the auto-finalize timer expires. Provide detailed information about the issue, including any relevant evidence such as message screenshots or tracking information. A WTN moderator will review both sides and make a decision based on the evidence provided. Keep all communication within the WeTheNorth platform to ensure moderators can review the full conversation.

Auto-Finalization Warning

Each We The North order has an auto-finalize timer. If you don't finalize or dispute before this timer expires, funds are automatically released to the vendor. This is why it's critical to monitor your WTN orders and take action promptly if issues arise. The WeTheNorth auto-finalize period is designed to balance buyer protection with vendor payment needs.

Best Practices for Successful Disputes

To maximize your chances of a favorable dispute outcome on We The North: document everything with screenshots, maintain professional communication, provide specific details about the issue, and respond promptly to moderator requests. Disputes based on unclear or exaggerated claims on WTN are less likely to succeed than those supported by clear evidence on WeTheNorth.

Cryptocurrency Payments on We The North

We The North accepts two cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC) and Monero (XMR). Each has distinct advantages and considerations for WTN users. Understanding these differences helps you make informed payment choices on WeTheNorth.

Bitcoin (BTC) on WTN

Bitcoin is the most widely known cryptocurrency and accepted on We The North. It's easy to acquire through numerous exchanges and has high liquidity. However, Bitcoin transactions on the blockchain are publicly visible. While your WTN wallet address isn't directly linked to your identity, blockchain analysis can potentially trace transaction flows. For enhanced privacy on WeTheNorth, consider using mixing services before depositing Bitcoin.

Monero (XMR) on We The North

Monero offers built-in privacy features that make transactions untraceable by design. On We The North, XMR is the preferred payment method among experienced users. Monero uses ring signatures and stealth addresses to obscure transaction details automatically. When using WTN with Monero, you don't need additional steps to achieve privacy - it's inherent to the cryptocurrency. Most privacy-conscious WeTheNorth users strongly recommend XMR over Bitcoin.

Funding Your WTN Wallet

When depositing cryptocurrency to We The North, transfer funds from a personal wallet rather than directly from an exchange. This adds a layer of separation between your exchange identity and WTN activities. Wait for the required number of blockchain confirmations before your funds appear in your WeTheNorth balance.
