Test4Pay is a forum on the dark web that facilitates the testing and discussion of substances purchased from cryptomarkets. It primarily functions as a harm reduction platform where users can share and analyze the composition and purity of drugs obtained online. The platform was originally active between September 2022 and August 2023 before going inactive, and it reopened in early 2025 under new administration.[1] Test4Pay collaborates with services like "Get Your Drugs Tested," which use spectroscopic and chemical tests to identify substances and potential contaminants. The program also aims to hold vendors accountable by promoting transparency about the quality and authenticity of their products.[2][3]
Despite its focus on promoting safer consumption practices, the forum has underscored the risks associated with unregulated markets, where buyers frequently encounter mislabeled or contaminated drugs. The initial closure of Test4Pay reflects the broader challenges of ensuring safety within illegal drug markets.[4]
Prior to the original closure, there were plans to expand the service with the launch of a dedicated website, test4pay.com and its .onion counterpart. These sites were intended to streamline the submission of drug samples and the sharing of test results. However, before the official launch, the future of Test4Pay was cast into uncertainty when its administrator disappeared in late 2023, reportedly due to an arrest, halting operations. In January 2025, Paris, the Dread (forum) administrator, announced the relaunch of Test4Pay, which remains its current incarnation.[1] [5]
