Access Protocol — Step by Step

01

download_tor_browser()

Navigate to torproject.org. Download Tor Browser for your operating system. Download the corresponding .asc signature file. Import the Tor Project signing key. Run gpg --verify on the downloaded file. Never install Tor Browser from any other source.

02

configure_security()

Open Tor Browser. Click the shield icon. Set Security Level to Safest. This disables JavaScript, WebGL and other attack vectors. Do not resize the browser window. Do not install any extensions or plugins.

03

verify_and_connect()

Copy the Nexus Market onion address from our verified links. Verify it against PGP-signed sources. Paste it manually into Tor Browser address bar. Complete the anti-DDoS CAPTCHA if prompted. This is normal Nexus Market security behaviour.

First-Time Account Setup

When creating a Nexus Market account, use a username that has no connection to your real identity. Use a strong randomly-generated password stored in a local password manager — never in a cloud service. Do not reuse usernames or passwords from any other platform.

Enabling PGP Two-Factor Authentication

PGP 2FA is the most important security step on Nexus Market. Generate a PGP key pair using GPG on your local machine. Upload your public key to your Nexus Market account settings. Enable 2FA in the security settings. Test that you can decrypt the PGP challenge before logging out. Store your private key and passphrase offline.

Funding Your Nexus Market Account

Nexus Market uses Monero for all transactions. Acquire XMR through a non-KYC peer-to-peer exchange or by converting from Bitcoin purchased with cash. Set up a non-custodial Monero wallet such as Feather Wallet or the official Monero GUI wallet. Never send XMR directly from an exchange to a Nexus Market order address — always send through your own wallet first.

Navigating the Nexus Market Interface

Nexus Market is designed to function fully with JavaScript disabled in Tor Browser Safest mode. All navigation, search, ordering and communication features work without JS. If a feature appears broken, check that you are on a verified Nexus Market onion address and not a phishing clone.
