OFFICIAL MEGATHREAD [May 2026] Nexus Market — verified mirrors, PGP signed, working Nexus Market URL inside
Hello r/onionarchive,
This is the pinned May 2026 rotation thread for Nexus Market. Three v3 onions are live, all signed with the same PGP key we have been using since November 2023. Fingerprint 7F2A 9C41 66B8 E1D5 ···· 0A9D. Last update 2026-05-05 00:57 UTC.
Use the Copy button below. Don't retype, don't ALT-TAB into Notepad and back, don't trust a screenshot. Copy → Tor Browser → paste → verify signature → log in. That order, every time.
House rules in this thread:
- No referral links, no clearnet shorteners, no "DM me for the real address."
- If you think a mirror is down, post the address and the time you tried — mods will check the probe and reply within 30 minutes.
- Phishing reports get pinned at the top of the comments by mod.
- Vendors: vendor support thread is sticky #2, do not derail this one.
Quick verification: open one of the mirrors in Tor Browser, scroll to the footer of the login screen, copy the signed timestamp block, run gpg --verify against the published key. If the output says Good signature and the fingerprint ends in 0A9D, you are on the real node.
Thread will roll over on the next 24h rotation. Bookmark the megathread URL, not the onions — the onions move, the thread doesn't.
STICKY MOD COMMENT. Anti-phishing reminder: every fake Nexus mirror that appeared in the last quarter swapped exactly one character in the middle of the onion. The Copy button on this thread is the only canonical source. If a Telegram channel or Discord DM gives you a different address, treat it as hostile.
Common fakes seen this month:
nexusncagWVnag3ycv62...,nexuspokkxp4Ayqqec3...,nexusr4ivg23525pvw...(with single-character swaps). None of these match the real fingerprint. Don't engage.Confirmed, I had one of these in my history yesterday after a sketchy Telegram bot. Cleared cache, re-pulled from this thread, everything fine. Thanks for keeping the megathread tight.
Mirror 2 was timing out for me earlier today (around 14:00 UTC), Mirror 1 worked fine. Tor circuit refresh fixed Mirror 2 about 20 minutes later. Just so anyone scrolling sees: it's the network, not the market.
Login speed has been noticeably better since this rotation. p50 well under 200ms on Mirror 1 from EU exit. Multisig escrow opens on first try, no retries. Whatever the team did with the new guard pool, it works.
Two of the three new mirrors are on a fresh guard pool. The third is still on the old pool intentionally so we have a comparison baseline. Glad it's feeling snappier — that was the goal.
Reminder for newcomers: only v3 onions. Anything labelled “Nexus” that's a 16-character v2 address is dead and gone, every single one of those is a phishing trap now. v3 = 56 characters before
.onion. Count the characters before pasting credentials.For anyone confused about the “Checking your browser” page: that's the layer-7 anti-DDoS in front of Mirror 2/3. Wait the 5 seconds, the page reloads itself, you go through. It is not a phishing screen, it's the same Cloudflare-style challenge most large markets run now.
If the page hangs more than 30 seconds, refresh once. Still hangs → circuit is slow, switch to Mirror 1.
Thanks, I literally thought I had landed on a phish. Working now.
Vendor PoV: balance and dispute state migrated cleanly across the rotation. No support tickets opened from my side. Multisig payouts cleared in normal time. Nothing to report, which is the best report.
If your Tor Browser starts behaving weird after this rotation, check that you're on the latest stable release. There was a guard rotation behaviour fix in the last point release. Old Tor Browser versions sometimes hang on the new mirrors, the fix is to update, not to retry the onion.
