NEXUS MARKET

The darknet is a part of the internet not indexed by search engines, requiring specialized software like Tor Browser. To access Nexus Market:

• Download Tor Browser from torproject.org
• Copy a mirror URL from our homepage (use the COPY button, or select the address and copy manually)
• Paste directly into Tor Browser address bar
• Never type .onion URLs manually — 90% of phishing occurs from typos

Mirrors provide redundancy. If one address is slow or under DDoS attack, others remain accessible. All mirrors connect to the same backend database — your account and funds are identical across all entry points. The PRIMARY node is recommended for first-time visitors.

Yes — Nexus Market is only accessible via Tor Browser. For maximum security, we recommend:

• Tor Browser (minimum)
• Tails OS (amnesic, live system)
• Whonix (advanced isolation)
• VPN not required but can be used before Tor

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is encryption software that provides:

• Digital signatures — verify authenticity
• Encryption — protect messages from interception
• 2FA — every login requires PGP-signed challenge

On Nexus, PGP is mandatory for all sensitive actions. Generate your keypair using GPG4Win (Windows), Kleopatra, or command-line gpg.

Nexus uses 2-of-3 multi-signature escrow:

• Funds locked in address requiring 2 of 3 signatures
• Buyer signs to release payment when goods received
• Vendor signs to confirm shipping/delivery
• Arbitrator signs only in dispute cases

Even if Nexus servers are compromised, attackers cannot access funds without colluding with buyers or vendors. No single party controls your money.

Yes — due to walletless architecture and multi-sig escrow, Nexus never holds user funds. Traditional exit scams occur when markets run away with deposited balances. Since Nexus has no internal wallet system, there's nothing to steal. Funds move directly between buyer and vendor via multi-sig addresses.

Common phishing tactics:

• Look-alike domains (nexus vs nexu5, blackops vs b1ackops)
• Unsolicited links in forums or DMs
• Missing or mismatched PGP signatures
• Requests for private keys or wallet seeds

Always use this verified portal, copy URLs (never type them), and verify PGP signatures before first login.

Disputes are resolved by randomly selected arbitrators from a pool of trusted community members. Both parties submit evidence (encrypted messages, shipping proofs). Arbitrator reviews and signs with their key to release funds to the correct party. The system is designed to be fair and transparent.

Nexus Market is Monero (XMR) native. Bitcoin was phased out in 2025 due to traceability concerns. Monero provides:

• Ring signatures — hide sender identity
• Stealth addresses — unique address per transaction
• Confidential transactions — hide amounts

Purchase Bitcoin from an exchange, then use a swap service like ChangeNow, Cake Wallet, or TradeOgre to convert to Monero. Always use intermediate wallets and never send directly from exchange to market.

Nexus charges a 2% fee on successful transactions, deducted from vendor revenue. There are no deposit or withdrawal fees since the market never holds funds — you pay only blockchain network fees.

There's no fixed minimum, but due to Monero network fees, transactions under $10 equivalent may be impractical. Most vendors set their own minimums, typically $20-50.

Click ACCESS on any mirror, then "Register." You'll need:

• Username (unique)
• Password (strong, 10+ chars recommended)
• PGP public key (paste your public key)

After registration, you'll receive a PGP-signed challenge — complete it to activate 2FA.

Yes — new vendors undergo a 30-day probation period with limited listing capacity. Requirements:

• Valid PGP key
• Account in good standing for 30 days
• No vendor bond required
• Manual review by vendor team

Password reset requires PGP verification. Use the "Forgot Password" link — you'll receive an encrypted message with reset instructions. Without your PGP private key, account recovery is impossible (by design).

Yes — PGP 2FA is mandatory. Every login requires signing a challenge with your private key. This ensures even if your password is compromised, attackers cannot access your account without your PGP key.
