Torzon
High-volume English market. Escrow by default, BTC + XMR, rotating mirrors after DDoS weeks.
DarkScan
Is Nexus down?
Short status for researchers: Nexus is not a live deposit destination on this desk.
Admin provided evidence shows they're targeting their own users with phishing attacks. October 7, 2026. The private keys for Onion addresses have been leaked. The Market Exit scam had already occurred, but the leaked keys could also be used by phishers and scammers.
Direct answer
Yes — Nexus is offline / exit scam (October 2026).
DarkScan marks Nexus as an exit-scam archive: the market exit had already occurred, and on 7 October 2026 private keys for onion addresses were reported leaked — which means historical mirrors can be weaponized by phishers. Do not deposit. Status page: /nexus-market-links/.
Canonical archive: /nexus-market-links/. Migration map: /nexus-alternatives/.
Do not deposit
Exit-scam archives are offline for deposits. Historical onion strings may still resolve to phishing kits because private keys leaked. Treat any “Nexus is back” ad as hostile until independently verified — which this desk has not done for a live reopen.
