Nexus Market Payments: Bitcoin, Monero and Litecoin
How funding works on Nexus Market, from choosing a coin to settling an order through multisig escrow.
Nexus Market accepts three cryptocurrencies, and understanding how each behaves helps you fund an order without surprises. The platform is built around escrow, so money does not move directly to a vendor at checkout. It is held in a contract until both sides are satisfied.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the most widely available coin and the easiest to acquire. Its ledger is public, which means transactions can be traced, so many buyers add a layer of separation before depositing. Confirmations can take a little time during busy periods, so fund slightly ahead of when you plan to order.
Litecoin
Litecoin behaves much like Bitcoin but tends to confirm faster and at a lower fee, which makes it a practical choice when you want a deposit to land quickly. Its ledger is transparent in the same way Bitcoin's is, so it can be traced, and it is accepted as a first class payment method alongside the others.
Monero
Monero is the privacy focused option and the most private of the three. Ring signatures and stealth addresses hide the amounts and the parties on the ledger, so a Monero deposit does not leave the same trail as a transparent chain. If privacy is your priority, Monero is the stronger choice, while Bitcoin and Litecoin are also accepted for buyers who prefer them.
Multisig escrow
Every order settles through a two of three multisig contract. Three keys exist, held by the buyer, the vendor, and the platform, and any two can release the funds. In a normal order the buyer and vendor sign on delivery. If there is a dispute, the platform key becomes the tiebreaker through the arbitration panel. This design closes the single key exit scam that plagues lesser markets.
Practical funding tips
Deposit only what you intend to spend soon, and withdraw the rest. Always reach the deposit page through a verified onion copied from the profile or mirror list, never a retyped address, with the Tor Browser at Safest. For the wider picture see the review and is Nexus Market safe.
