Operational Philosophy
Nexus Market was deployed on November 22, 2023, in response to the volatility plaguing the darknet ecosystem. While other markets prioritize aggressive expansion at the cost of stability, Nexus focuses on infrastructure resilience and user sovereignty. We have architected a platform that minimizes third-party reliance and maximizes transactional privacy.
Our core differentiator is the removal of entry barriers without compromising quality. By eliminating the vendor bond requirement, we allow established vendors from other markets to migrate instantly, fostering a diverse and competitive marketplace. Simultaneously, our "Walletless Pay" system reduces the on-chain footprint for buyers, streamlining the purchase process while mitigating the risks associated with centralized market wallets.
Nexus operates on a strict zero-logging policy for search queries and message metadata, ensuring that your digital footprint remains non-existent within our servers.

Escrow Logic & Dispute Center SYS_PROTECT
Standard Escrow: Funds are held in a secure multisig environment until the buyer confirms receipt. The standard auto-finalization timer is dynamic, ranging from 7 to 21 days based on the vendor's settings and shipping origin.
Dispute Resolution: Buyers maintain a 3-day window post-delivery (or post-escrow expiry) to initiate a dispute. Our moderation team utilizes a ticket-based evidence system to mediate conflicts.
Finalize Early (FE): Available only to vendors with >500 sales and <1% dispute rate. FE status releases funds upon dispatch. Nexus Market advises using FE only with highly trusted, verified vendors.
