01. Current Rotation Status
Nodes rotated at 00:00 UTC. The nexus documented market network infrastructure relies on aggressive endpoint rotation to mitigate sustained DDoS attacks. Old mirrors deprecated. New ones signed and broadcast.
The current primary v3 onion address is:
We saw heavy traffic spikes yesterday. The main ingress nodes saturated. This rotation distributes the load across eight new entry points. You can check the overall platform health for ping times. Latency metrics remain stable across the new cluster.
Mandatory PGP Verification
We cannot stress this enough. The nexus documented market mandates PGP for messaging and highly recommends it for link verification. With over 180k entries processed, the financial incentive for attackers to intercept your connection is massive. When a new batch of mirrors drops, the first thing you do is extract the signed message from the homepage. Verify it against the market's known public key. If you are unfamiliar with the mechanics of OpenPGP, consult the OpenPGP key server documentation or our internal user tutorial.
Do not trust links blindly. Not ours, not anyone's. The cryptographic proof is the only guarantee that you are communicating with the genuine nexus documented market servers. If verification fails, drop the connection immediately and report the anomalous URL.
Impact on Escrow and Payments
These infrastructure updates do not affect active transactions. The Monero-preferred payment channels and multisig escrow contracts reside on separate backend databases. Your funds remain secure during the rotation. If you were in the middle of a dispute or awaiting finalization, log in via one of the new verified endpoints. The state of your entry will be exactly as you left it.
Vendors should note that the rotation might cause a temporary dip in traffic as users update their bookmarks. Maintain your regular fulfilment channel schedules. Your standing in the verified sellers directory remains unchanged.

Monitoring Ongoing Status
We will keep the outages board updated as the old mirrors are deprecated and the new ones settle into their traffic patterns. Expect some initial sluggishness as Tor circuits adjust to the new routing demands. If a specific mirror returns a 502 error, cycle to the next one on the list.
Stay sharp. Use the verified links. Protect your credentials.
Rotation FAQ
Why did the nexus documented market rotate mirrors today?
Routine operational security. Rotating entry points mitigates targeted denial-of-service attacks and clears out stale connections.
Are the old links completely dead?
Most are deprecated and will drop connections. A few might linger for a few days, but you should migrate to the new addresses immediately.
Do I need to create a new account?
No. The backend database is unaffected. Your username, password, PGP key, and Monero balance carry over seamlessly.
