Why this site is about signatures rather than links
Every directory publishing onion addresses, this one included, is asking to be trusted. A signature removes that requirement: you check a message against a key you already hold, and the answer does not depend on where you read the message. It is the only arrangement in this space where the reader takes nobody's word for anything, which is why the rest of the site is built around it rather than around a link list.
What this site cannot tell you
Whether the marketplace is trustworthy, whether escrow will be honoured, or whether it will still exist next month. Verification establishes that an announcement came from the same party as every previous one. It says nothing about that party's intentions, and reading a valid signature as a safety endorsement is the most common way this material gets misused.
If you are never going to verify anything
Then keep a saved address list and never take a fresh address from anywhere else, particularly during an outage. That is a weaker position honestly occupied, and it beats performing the steps carelessly while feeling protected by them. Most of the value here is in never needing to search for an address, and that habit requires no tooling at all.
faqFAQ
Eight short answers to questions people write in about Nexus Market mirrors, escrow, coins and login screens.
What is the current Nexus Market URL?
The primary onion at the top of the atlas page. Everything else on that page is a mirror that resolves to the same storefront.
Are all the mirrors different shops?
No. Each mirror is a separate onion address pointing at the same backend. Your account, balance, orders and messages appear identically on any of them.
What coins does Nexus Market accept?
Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero. Monero is the privacy default. Litecoin is used for smaller orders with faster confirmations.
Does Nexus Market use multisig escrow?
Yes. Every deposit runs on a 2 of 3 multisig contract. The shop alone cannot move the coins.
Why do the addresses start with nexus?
Because the operator chose that prefix when the addresses were generated. Prefix has no cryptographic weight. It is the visual fingerprint that ties an address back to this storefront.
How do I verify a rotation?
See the verify page. Four steps, roughly one minute.
Is there a clearnet Nexus Market?
No. Anything claiming otherwise is a phishing operation borrowing the name.
How often does the primary rotate?
Roughly every eight to ten months on the current key, based on observations from the signal log.
