What domain rotation looks like in practice

NexusDomains tracks the three currently-published Nexus Market v3 hidden-service domains. The operator does not rotate on a schedule — rotations happen when a domain has taken sustained DDoS pressure or when the pool drops below the operator's target of three concurrent domains. Each rotation is announced as a detached-PGP-signed Dread post; we re-sync the tracker every time a new signed post appears. The cycle is roughly every few weeks per operator, sometimes faster during heavy attack waves.

How to use the domain tracker correctly

The tracker is a real-time snapshot of the operator's currently-published rotation. To use it: import the operator's PGP public key once from their pinned Dread profile. When you want to verify a domain you have in hand, compare it against the tracker. If it's listed, the signature has been verified on our end and the domain is authentic. If it isn't listed, either we haven't synced the latest signed post yet (rare, never more than a few hours of lag) or the domain is not in the operator's rotation — in which case it's almost certainly a phishing clone.

Domains versus mirrors — the terminology

NexusDomains and similar trackers use "domain" interchangeably with "mirror," "link," "URL" and "onion address." The terms describe the same thing: a v3 hidden-service endpoint the operator publishes for the marketplace. Different trackers use different names for the same data — the underlying onion strings are what matters. Always compare strings, never compare names.
