Secure Access Protocol
A comprehensive technical guide to the Nexus Market Link infrastructure. This manual outlines the necessary steps for network configuration, PGP verification, and operational security within the decentralized ecosystem.
Operational Security Warning
The following guide is for educational research purposes. Accessing hidden services on the Tor network requires strict adherence to security protocols to prevent identity leaks. Never use a standard browser. Never enable JavaScript on unverified onions.
Environment Setup
Before attempting connection, ensure your workstation is configured for anonymity. The standard internet (clearnet) exposes your IP address. You must utilize onion routing.
- ✓ Install Tor Browser (Official Only)
- ✓ Set Security Level to "Safer"
- ✓ Close all other applications
Configuration Check
Navigate to about:preferences#privacy in Tor Browser.
Security Level: Standard -> Safer
Verified Entry Nodes
Access & Verification
Phishing is the primary threat vector. Nexus Market Link signs all official mirrors with a PGP key. Always verify the link before entering credentials.
TIP: Bookmark the V3 onion address immediately after successful verification. Do not rely on "Hidden Wikis" or clear-net search engines.
Account Protocol
Nexus operates on a strict "No Logs" policy. There is no email recovery. Account security is entirely the user's responsibility.
Mnemonic Phrase
During registration, you are given a mnemonic. Write this down on paper. It is the ONLY way to recover a lost password.
Two-Factor Auth (2FA)
Enable PGP 2FA immediately. This requires decrypting a message to log in, preventing credential stuffing attacks.
Ring Signatures & Stealth Addresses
Requires Mixing / CoinJoin
Wallet & Escrow
Nexus employs a walletless pay system or a traditional deposit system depending on configuration. Monero (XMR) is strongly advised for blockchain privacy.
Escrow Protocol
NEVER Finalize Early (FE). Funds are held in escrow by the market until the order is marked complete. Finalizing early releases funds to the vendor immediately, removing all protection. Only FE for highly trusted vendors with established reputation.
