Nexus Market, 2025 vs 2026 — what changed in twelve months
A side-by-side editorial review of the operational state of the platform a year ago versus today, focused on the metrics readers most often ask after.
Mirror count. 2025 ran two production onions; 2026 added the third. Aggregate uptime improved from 99.61 percent to 99.94 percent over a 90-day rolling window. Settlement rail. 2025 retained mixed BTC/XMR with a Monero-default nudge for new accounts; 2026 completed the migration into Monero-only-for-new-accounts, with Bitcoin retained exclusively for legacy balance migration. Multisig adoption. 64 percent of vendor settlements in 2025 vs 92 percent in 2026. Dispute-panel cadence. 7.2 hours mean ticket pickup in 2025 vs 4.8 hours in 2026, well below the published 6-hour SLA.
What did not change: the PGP fingerprint, the architectural commitment to client-side cryptography, and the 24-hour rotation cadence. Continuity on those three is the operational story of the year.
