The key the market signs with

Awazon Market publishes a PGP key and signs its mirror list with it. A signature that verifies against the fingerprint below means the list you are holding was really written by the market, not by whoever wanted you to open it. The key is from February 2025 and has been in use since the market’s launch.

How to verify a signed mirror list

  1. Import the keyCopy the block above into a file, for example awazon.asc, and run gpg --import awazon.asc. On Windows, Gpg4win imports the same file; on a Mac, GPG Suite does. Once it is imported, the fingerprint line above should match what the tool shows you. If it does not match, delete the key and start over.
  2. Get the signed listThe market publishes its mirror list as a short PGP-signed text: the addresses, followed by a signature block. It appears on the market’s official channels. Keep the whole message, signature included, in a text file. A signature without the text it signs is nothing.
  3. VerifyRun gpg --verify mirrors.txt. GnuPG will tell you whether the signature is good and which key made it.
  4. Read the resultYou want “Good signature” from the Awazon Market key, and the key’s fingerprint should read 2B76 EB1A E895 09D4 0839 AD60 12C8 2C28 65D7 7D55. That is the check. The addresses in the list are then the real ones, and you can open any of them with confidence.

What a bad signature means

“BAD signature” means one of two things: the list was changed after it was signed, or it was never signed by this key in the first place. Either way, the list is not safe to trust. Do not open the addresses in it and do not reuse the key you imported if the fingerprint did not match. The good signature is the whole point of the exercise; without it you are back to checking characters by hand, which the address check page covers.

Without GnuPG installed

Any of the standard key viewers will do the same verification: Gpg4win on Windows, GPG Suite on macOS, or Kleopatra on Linux. All of them import the file, show you the fingerprint to compare, and run the verify step. The command line is faster for a one-off; the GUI is friendlier if you will be checking lists more than once.
