Nexus About

Methodology

Nexus Market Intelligence was founded in 2024 by a group of former cybersecurity professionals and OSINT analysts. We evaluate markets across five dimensions: liquidity depth, security model (multisig/MPC), privacy (KYC, cryptocurrency support), Tor Safest compatibility, and track record (uptime, dispute resolution, exit scam history). Data from automated uptime monitoring (5 Tor nodes), test purchases, forum scraping (Dread, Recon), and cross‑verification with Dark.fail. No ads, no affiliate payments.
