Ten questions that bring people to this site, answered in the order people ask them. Longer answers sit on the pages linked below.
What is Nexus Market?
A general purpose marketplace that runs only as a Tor hidden service, online since 2023, with vendor listings, an instant delivery section for digital goods, escrow on 2 of 3 multisig keys and three accepted coins.
What is the current Nexus Market onion address?
The published set is three v3 endpoints, each 56 characters, all reaching the same account system. The strings are printed on the mirror page of this site with the date they were last checked.
Is Nexus Market still online?
It answers on the published endpoints as of the date printed on the status page. A single endpoint that stays silent is a rotation, not a shutdown; all three silent at once is something else.
What coins does Nexus accept?
Bitcoin, Monero and Litecoin. Monero is the recommended one, Bitcoin is the one most people bring from an exchange, Litecoin is there because Bitcoin fees punish small deposits.
Does Nexus Market use multisig escrow?
Two of three: buyer, vendor and market each hold a key and two signatures move the funds. Trusted vendors can release on early finalization instead.
What is the Nexus mnemonic recovery key?
The only backup of an account that has no email and no password. Written down offline, it rebuilds the balance and the order history on any mirror; on a phone it is one photo away from a cloud backup.
How do I avoid a fake Nexus mirror?
Compare the address in the bar with the banner inside the shop and with the address drawn into the login captcha, then look for the signed announcement on the hidden service forum.
Is the Nexus darknet market a scam?
The sharpest reports describe clone pages that take deposits, not the market. Read which one a thread is about, then decide; the market itself has no clearnet checkout to complain about.
How fast are disputes handled?
Dispute handling is the feature this market is recommended for most often, with answers measured in hours in the reviews that try it. It is a staff queue, not an arbitration bot, so a ticket without an order number waits longer.
Is using Nexus Market legal?
Nothing in a browser setting changes what you may lawfully buy or sell where you live. The onion only changes who can see the request.
