Three independent v3 onion endpoints. Each runs its own Tor instance, descriptor publishing, and rate limiting. The bars above are sampled every 15 minutes from a probe network that touches each mirror through a fresh circuit. Operational means a load below 80 percent and latency under 800 ms. Degraded means latency between 800 ms and 2 s, or transient circuit failures. Outage means descriptor unreachability for the full sample window.
Probes are run from inside Tor, not the clearnet, so what you see here matches what your own Tor Browser will see when you load a mirror. We do not measure clearnet reachability because there is no legitimate clearnet path to Nexus Market.
The PGP fingerprint 0A9D is the master key. Every announcement, key ceremony, and mirror retirement is signed under it. If a status notice arrives without a valid signature against this fingerprint, treat the notice as untrusted, even if it appears on a familiar surface.
Most darknet markets do not run a public status page because the surface invites attackers and competitors. Nexus runs one anyway because the alternative is worse. Without a public surface, every minor exit consensus failure becomes a panic on Reddit, which becomes an opportunity for phishing operators to push fake replacement URLs into search results. Visible health metrics shut that loop down.
The probes are autonomous and do not require buyer or vendor sessions. They sign their results against a separate observer key, witnessed quarterly by independent custodians. The signature on this page is the master 0A9D, the underlying probe data is its own chain. If you care, the historical raw data is available signed on each mirror under /announcements/probes.
If the page itself goes dark for more than an hour, that is the cue to escalate. Reach out through the incidents archive or via the security channel on a verified mirror.
