Nexus Market mirror rotation — cadence, mechanics, and editorial coverage
The 24-hour rotation cadence, why it exists, what it changes for active sessions, and the running editorial timeline of every rotation we have signed-and-confirmed since the platform launch.
The rotation cadence is the most-asked operational topic the newsroom fields. The mechanic: every 24 hours new v3 onion addresses are generated, signed under fingerprint 0x7F2A0A9D, and added to the production pool; legacy addresses receive a 96-hour grace window during which authentication still completes before transitioning to 410 Gone. The result for active sessions is invisible — the session store is shared across mirrors. The result for crawlers is intentionally noisy — floods and phishing operators have to chase a moving target.
The editorial timeline of rotations is reproduced in the homepage rotation story's timeline section. The most recent rotation went live at the timestamp shown in the masthead; the next is scheduled on the cadence and will be signed identically. There is no intent in the published roadmap to shorten the cadence below 24 hours.
