With the advent of Cryptocurrencies, the possibilities of e-commerce have reached new heights for all web users who see potential in this technology. Cryptocurrencies have opened new dimensions based on a Blockchain technology for e-commerce through decentralization; increased privacy and digitalization of coins allow users to anonymously trade online. This has become more common in the Darknet, which is simply the unindexed side of the Internet.
