Three coins, one rule about addresses, and an escrow design where nobody holds the money alone. The timing of every deposit is set by the coin network, and that is the part worth planning around.
| Coin | Role in the market | Credited after | What it costs you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | the coin most people arrive with | a couple of confirmations | the highest network fee of the three, painful on a small deposit |
| Monero (XMR) | the one the market recommends | about ten blocks, near twenty minutes | the slowest to appear, the least traceable afterwards |
| Litecoin (LTC) | the cheap middle ground | a bit sooner than Bitcoin | low fee, weaker privacy than Monero |
How a deposit behaves
The address is issued per deposit and dropped afterwards, so the money you send never shares an address with the money you sent last month. That is a privacy gain with a cost: an old address is dead, and a transfer resent to it is not a transfer that waits politely.
Nothing on this page quotes a fee in percent. What can be said without a table is where the money waits: the coin network confirms first, the market credits the balance second, and escrow releases on delivery confirmation. A slow hour on Bitcoin is a mempool problem, not a market problem, and Litecoin exists in the list precisely because Bitcoin fees swallow small deposits.
What payments are not
No cards, no bank transfers, no cash on delivery, no courier tracking number that works outside Tor. Money moves as coins from a wallet you control to an address the market hands you once, and the return trip, a withdrawal to your own wallet, is the action guarded by the withdrawal PIN.
Payment questions
What coins does Nexus Market accept?
Three: Bitcoin, Monero and Litecoin. Monero is the one the market recommends for privacy, Bitcoin is the one most people already hold from an exchange, Litecoin sits between them on fees.
How long does a deposit take to appear?
Bitcoin is credited after a couple of network confirmations, Litecoin a bit sooner, Monero after around ten blocks, which is roughly twenty minutes. The waiting time belongs to the coin network, not to the market.
Does the deposit address change?
Yes. A fresh address is issued for each deposit and is not reused, so a second top up never lands at the same address as the first one.
Is the escrow real custody?
It is 2 of 3 multisig: you, the vendor and the market each hold a key, and two signatures move the funds. Trusted vendors can also use early finalization, which releases the money at delivery instead of at confirmation.
