Three signed onion mirrors, one PGP fingerprint, zero plaintext credentials. This is where buyers and vendors confirm the working Nexus Market URL before logging in. Bookmark the domain, verify the signature, then open the market.
Three v3 onion addresses are signed and published every 24 hours by the Nexus key custodians. If one address falls under heavy congestion or a coordinated DDoS, traffic falls through to the next without a visible outage. Pull each address from the Copy control. Typed addresses fail on phishing clones every single day, no exceptions.
Markets fail for two reasons. The first is escrow held by one party with the keys to walk. The second is plaintext storage on the host. Nexus closes both holes.
Every order writes a contract that needs two signatures from buyer, vendor, or platform to release funds. No single key moves the balance.
XMR is the primary settlement currency. Bitcoin remains for legacy balances, but new accounts are funded straight in Monero to break chain analysis.
Order details, vendor messages, and address blobs encrypt locally before they reach the server. The host stores ciphertext only.
Buyer ratings and dispute outcomes are signed at submission. Nothing on a vendor profile can be edited or deleted after the fact.
The standard access flow takes under a minute when everything is set up. We assume Tor Browser, GnuPG, and an offline password manager are already installed. If not, the About page lists the exact tooling we recommend.
Hit Copy on Mirror 01 above. Open Tor Browser pulled directly from torproject.org. Paste the address into the URL bar. Slide the security level to Safest. The login screen will render with a signed timestamp block above the form. Drop that block into local GnuPG, run gpg --verify, confirm the signature ends in 0A9D. If GPG returns GOOD, log in. If GPG returns BAD, close the tab and start over from this gateway.
This is not paranoia. This is the procedure that costs nothing and prevents account takeover by clones that exist on the clearnet right now. Most users skip the verification step exactly once. They learn quickly.
