The reference English-language market. Fast onboarding, signed mirrors, three coins including Litecoin.
Nexus opened in 2023 and is widely treated as the reference English-language Tor market. It does the unglamorous parts well: onboarding takes minutes, the mirror list is PGP-signed, and it accepts Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero, which covers what most buyers reach for.
Its phishing defence is layered. The login captcha renders the market's own onion address into the image, so you can compare what you typed against what the server printed, and the mirror list is signed so you can verify an address came from the operator. For the full verified address list and a step-by-step access guide, see the dedicated Nexus URL site.

Nexus Market has no clearnet address. It is a Tor market reached through one of its verified onion mirrors, all resolving to the same market. Copy a current address, open it in Tor Browser, and verify it against the login captcha before entering a password.
Nexus Market publishes 3 verified onion mirrors, each resolving to the same market with the same account and balance. When one is slow or flooded, you switch to another.
Nexus Market accepts BTC, LTC, XMR. Monero is the private default because it keeps the payment off a readable public ledger. The deposit address is fresh per order.
No. Nexus Market is a Tor hidden service reachable only through Tor Browser. Any clearnet page claiming to be Nexus Market is a phishing operation.
