Security Advisory
Phishing attacks are rampant. ALWAYS verify the onion URL against the PGP signed message found on reliable directories. Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) immediately upon account creation. Nexus Support will NEVER ask for your mnemonic seed or password.
// ACCESS & MIRRORS
Access the market ONLY via the following PGP-verified V3 onion addresses:
- rmnvwgxnat4m4o6whqvh6dy7fhnasxa6cndufyrztgahtxwdhgr7thid.onion
- 6lqc5wdbkw7h4x4vkofxsgqfrb3ynnjj7zlezc7hvymmlnsizzfzwrid.onion
- lzllowcajmfcmacxrgpvvtxbtb34iskvnr7qfbpafuvgdwntizod5gqd.onion
- yqgzwm47zxr7fhw7253x6ibyucdcnqho4egywml33p4ya5aamsg7ikyd.onion
WARNING: Any link not listed here or not signed by the official PGP key is a phishing attempt.
The Tor network is subject to latency and DDoS attacks. If a mirror is unresponsive:
- Try a different mirror from the verified list above.
- Generate a "New Tor Circuit for this Site" in your browser (Ctrl+Shift+L).
- Disable JavaScript (set Security Level to Safer or Safest).
- Check the system status indicator in the top right of this page.
// SECURITY & PGP
PGP is the backbone of darknet security. It is used for:
- 2FA Login: Decrypting a random challenge to prove account ownership.
- Communication: Encrypting shipping addresses so only the vendor can read them (even the market admins cannot read PGP encrypted messages).
- Verification: Validating that mirror links are signed by the market administration.
Navigate to User Settings > Security. Paste your PGP Public Key into the designated field. The system will provide an encrypted message. Decrypt this message using your private key to find the verification code. Paste the code back into the site. Once verified, 2FA will be enforced on every login.
// FINANCE & ESCROW
We strongly recommend Monero. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a transparent public ledger, making them traceable by chain analysis firms. Monero uses Ring Signatures and Stealth Addresses to completely obfuscate the sender, receiver, and amount. XMR provides the highest level of financial privacy available.
Nexus utilizes a standard centralized escrow.
1. Placement: Buyer funds are locked in the market wallet.
2. Dispatch: Vendor marks order as shipped.
3. Release: Buyer marks order as "Received" -> Funds move to vendor.
4. Auto-Finalize: If buyer takes no action, funds auto-release after 14 days (physical) or 48 hours (digital).
5. Dispute: If issues arise, buyer can extend escrow or open a dispute for moderator resolution.

FE allows trusted vendors to receive funds immediately upon marking an order as shipped. This reduces vendor risk related to crypto volatility. WARNING: Buyers forgo escrow protection on FE orders. Only FE with vendors who have established, impeccable reputations.
