After Silk Road Agora φαίνεται να ανέρχεται στη λίστα των μαύρων αγορών του Dark Web. Η διαφορά όμως είναι ότι η ανερχόμενη διαδικτυακή αγορά έχει "ήθος." Το Dark Web έγινε γνωστό στο ευρύ κοινό μετά το κλείσιμο της μεγαλύτερης διαδικτυακής ναρκοαγοράς Silk Road και τη σύλληψη του φερόμενου σαν ιδρυτή της Dread Pirate Roberts. In addition to drugs, the online market also offered various other criminal services. Currently and after being shut down by the FBI, Silk Road 2 is re-opening offering the same services and products.

The number exceeds its entries Silk Road 2 against 200 products.
Adam Benson, communications manager of the Digital Citizens Alliance, says Agora is growing extremely fast. Four months ago he only had 7.400 product listings, the half that he had Silk Road 2,0 at that time. After hack Silk Road in February, when users' bitcoins were stolen, Agora started to develop much faster.
The website also offers a wide range of services. For example, its users can sell weapons, drugs and more. But Agora has some limitations. You are not going to find stolen credit information cards, , assassin services, weapons of mass destruction, poisons, child pornography, or murder videos
