Nexus Market — FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about the Nexus darknet market: Tor access, onion links, mirrors, OpSec, and Monero payments.
What is Nexus darknet market?
Nexus is a privacy‑oriented marketplace operating exclusively on the Tor network. It utilizes Monero (XMR) for anonymous transactions and enforces PGP‑based identity checks.
How can I access Nexus?
Install Tor Browser, visit official onion links from this page, and ensure the PGP signature matches Nexus’s verified key.
What is PGP and why is it necessary?
PGP (“Pretty Good Privacy”) verifies that any message or link really originates from Nexus staff. Without verifying signatures, you expose yourself to phishing sites.
Why does Nexus use Monero?
Monero provides confidential transactions, hiding the sender, receiver, and amount through ring signatures and stealth addresses — essential for anonymity in darknet use.
How do I stay anonymous on Nexus?
Always use Tor combined with a VPN, avoid personal emails, separate browser profiles, and operate in secure Linux environments like Tails or Whonix.
What if a mirror is offline?
Rotate to the next active onion link on the Official Links page. Mirrors may change periodically to maintain uptime.
Is Nexus safe to use?
It depends on your OpSec discipline. Always verify links, use PGP, keep Tor updated, and never download external files or images.
Which OS should I use for darknet access?
Linux‑based systems such as Tails, Qubes, or Whonix ensure better isolation and reduce fingerprinting vectors compared to standard desktop OS.
What is the official PGP fingerprint?
The current Nexus fingerprint is:
A4C7 56D1 7F32 F1E8 9A58 AAA9 6F14 FDEE 9C4E 882C.
Verify every official message against this key.

Account recovery is possible only via your personal PGP key or recovery phrase. Without it, restoring access is technically impossible.
