Nexus Market — Research FAQ
Seven verified answers on access, mirrors, crypto, escrow and OPSEC for researchers.
What is Nexus Market?
Nexus Market is a Tor-native marketplace documented in this independent research archive with verified mirrors, Multi-Sig escrow and Warrant Canary tracking for educational purposes.
How do I access Nexus Market via Tor?
Use only the verified mirrors under Mirrors. Open them in Tor Browser from torproject.org, verify the full 56-character address, wait for the verification check, and never follow links from unsolicited messages.
How do I verify a Nexus mirror is official?
Compare the address character-for-character with the archive, confirm the System Operational badge, check the SHA-VERIFY fingerprint and the canary date of September 05, 2026.
Should I use Monero (XMR) or Bitcoin (BTC)?
Monero (XMR) is the default for private settlement. Bitcoin (BTC) is supported inside Multi-Sig escrow with strict address hygiene and on-chain confirmation — see Crypto.
What is Multi-Sig escrow?
2-of-3 escrow across buyer, vendor, and arbiter keys. No single party can move funds alone; release, refund, and arbitration all require majority signatures — see Marketplace.
What is the Warrant Canary?
A dated statement confirming no gag orders or seizures as of September 05, 2026. If stale or missing, treat all mirrors as unverified.
What OPSEC basics should I follow?
Tor Browser without add-ons, verified mirrors only, isolated sessions, no credential reuse, XMR by default, and stop on any stale canary. Full checklist under OPSEC.
