      <description>The launch of the successor-generation market that would absorb a large share of displaced vendors and users. Europol IOCTA 2026 records the launch date as July 2025, which contradicts most "official" gateway pages claiming 2021, 2022 or Q1 2024. Confidence: high. Source: Europol IOCTA 2026.</description>

      <description>Directory maintainers removed every published Nexus mirror and published an archive warning. At least two fork sites began impersonating the brand to capture deposits from users looking for a working address. The case is the reference point for what an escrow claim is worth.
