Nexus Market is an educational research project. We study how darknet marketplaces work from a defensive perspective: how vendor verification fails, how phishing clones spread, and how anonymity tools like Tor, PGP and Monero are used in practice.
Research Timeline
2025: Started as notes on escrow models and mandatory verification. Focus on why custodial gateways fail and how mirror phishing works.
2026: Shift to privacy-coin analysis and Tor hardening guides. Published first OpSec checklists for researchers, mirror verification tables, and threat-intel summaries.
Editorial Principles
We cite primary sources: Tor Project, Monero documentation, and peer-reviewed overviews of darknets. We do not promote or facilitate illegal activity.
Trust is enforced by verifiable sources, not promises.
