In early July 2025, Torzon Market completed a technical migration of its Monero integration from standard wallet addresses to the subaddress system. This change has significant positive implications for the on-chain privacy of all XMR transactions on the platform.
What Are Monero Subaddresses?
Monero subaddresses are one-time receiving addresses derived from a master wallet address using a deterministic algorithm. Unlike standard Monero addresses, subaddresses cannot be linked to each other or to the master address without the private view key. This means an on-chain observer cannot tell that multiple subaddresses belong to the same wallet.
Why the Migration Matters
Prior to this update, the platform assigned deposits using standard Monero addresses. While Monero's ring signatures and stealth address protocol already provide strong privacy for senders, address reuse patterns in the deposit tracking system created a potential correlation vector for sophisticated blockchain analysts. Subaddresses eliminate this entirely — each order generates a unique, unlinkable address that reveals no information about the marketplace's wallet structure.
Technical Implementation
The migration was performed with no disruption to ongoing transactions. The subaddress generation algorithm used is the standard Monero subaddress derivation specified in MRL-0006, ensuring compatibility with all major Monero wallets. Existing pending deposits using old-style addresses were honoured through a compatibility window.
