Nexus Market mirrors. All three, no ranking
Every address that opens the market right now, in one place. They are equal. There is no main mirror, no standby, no tier. The one that connects on your circuit is the right one.
The three .onion addresses

nexusma2idee6cndveqpty2oahxvjkzfbfz4qhmo4z5aljxntx3ngvqd.onion
nexusabcdyk5mrsghxmprelubxkkjvcv4vdvhg4zterhhyj7biyzb7ad.onion
Copy, do not retype. A 56 character string copied by hand is where most "wrong site" stories start. The button puts the full address, including .onion, on your clipboard.
How to use them
Open the Tor Browser
If you do not have it yet, the Tor Browser page covers Windows, macOS, Linux and Android in a few minutes. New identity first: Ctrl+Shift+I on desktop.
Paste one of the three
Click in the address bar, paste, press Enter. Tor builds a circuit and starts talking to the market. On a good connection this takes 10 to 30 seconds. On a slow one, longer. Do not refresh during the build.
Pass the market's own checks
First the browser check screen, then the DDoS captcha with the red circle. That sequence is described on the first visit page. A page that skips it is not the real one.
Check before you log in
When the login page finally appears, compare the last six characters of the address bar with what you copied. Then, and only then, type your password.
Why there are exactly three
The market runs its entry points in different regions and spreads load across them. Each address is a separate onion identity, which means a different entry path for your traffic, but they all land on the same market, the same vendor list, the same account system. Your balance does not care which of the three you came through.
Three also gives you a built-in fallback. If one address keeps timing out from where you sit, that is usually your path to that particular entry point, not the market. Open the next one. If all three fail from the same Tor Browser, the problem is between you and Tor, and the not loading page sorts that out.
What a fake usually looks like
- Too short. A real v3 address is 56 characters long before the
.onion. Anything shorter is a different address format and, for this market, a different story. - No nexus prefix. All three real addresses begin with the five letters
nexus. Variants start with other letters and lean hard on "official" in the title. - Impossible symbols. v3 onions only use the letters a to z and the digits 2 to 7. A zero, one, eight or nine anywhere in the string is a knockoff.
- A password field too early. The market's first page is a browser check, not a login form. If the very first thing you see asks for a password, that is the page making money, and you are the transaction.
The full checklist, including how the market announces address changes, is on the verify an address page.
When one of these stops working
Onion addresses do change, but not often, and never quietly. A change is announced inside the market with a PGP signed message, and the new set keeps the nexus prefix. If your address suddenly lands on a page that looks almost right but not quite, do not log in. Check the address changed page for how to read the announcement, and come back here for the current set.
In the meantime, nothing here is a link you should trust by clicking. Copy, paste, compare the last six characters. That is the whole discipline.
