Anubis Market vs Nexus Market — the directory comparison

Anubis Market and Nexus Market are the two markets indexed in this directory. They share the structural traits buyers look for — a Monero-default rail, 2-of-3 multisignature escrow, and a multi-mirror rotation that survives DDoS — and differ on tenure and scale.

Tenure: Nexus has the longer track record, which translates into a deeper vendor-feedback corpus and a published dispute-throughput report. Anubis closes the gap on dispute-panel UX, which the directory rates marginally cleaner.

Escrow: both run 2-of-3 multisig with buyer/vendor/platform keys. The implementations are functionally equivalent; the difference is operational. Anubis routes new vendor accounts into multisig by default and gates non-multisig listings to vetted veterans; Nexus offers single-sig as a fallback for vendors who opt in.

Currency: XMR-default on both. Bitcoin is supported on both for legacy migration but actively de-emphasised through UI nudges and slower confirmation thresholds.

Verdict: directly comparable. Use whichever you have established history on; if new, the Nexus depth-of-data and Anubis dispute-panel UX cleanliness are the two tiebreakers most users find decisive.
