Nexus Market Onion: V3 Tor Infrastructure
Live tracking of the Nexus Market onion infrastructure: verified v3 Tor mirrors, technical specifications, security architecture, and operator status. Built for users who want the spec sheet, not the marketing brochure.
Verified V3 Onion Mirrors
Three operator-signed public addresses and two leaked fallback addresses. All five route to the same Nexus back-end.
Nexus Market Features
The technical features that distinguish Nexus from generic Tor marketplaces in 2026.
Multi-Signature Escrow
2-of-3 multisig as default escrow. Buyer, vendor, and market each hold a key; release requires two signatures. The market alone cannot release funds.
Fingerprint Captcha
Login captcha image embeds the canonical onion fingerprint. Phishing copies cannot regenerate the image without the operator private key, so the mismatch is visible before login.
PGP Communication
Vendor public keys exposed on every profile. Shipping addresses are PGP-encrypted before being sent. Plaintext addresses are never persisted on the server.
Signed Mirror Rotation
Every mirror rotation is announced as a PGP-signed Dread post by the operator. The pinned key on the operator Dread profile is the canonical verification source.
Tor v3 Onion Service
56-character base32 v3 onion addresses with ed25519 keys. Forward-secret circuits, no v2 fallback. Resistant to the v2 deanonymization patterns that broke in 2021.
No External JavaScript
The marketplace serves no third-party scripts. Runs cleanly with Tor Browser on Safer security level. No analytics, no fonts CDN, no trackers anywhere on the user path.
Interface Preview
Marketplace home screen captured directly from a clean Tor Browser session on the primary mirror.
