Mandatory 2-of-3

Every order on Nexus Market is locked into a 2-of-3 multisignature escrow contract. The mandate is the structural feature that makes the platform's exit-scam-resistance claim meaningful; if escrow were opt-in, the resistance claim would be opt-in too.

Settlement flow

Buyer pays into the contract on order placement; the contract holds the funds until two of the three keys sign for release. Normal-path: buyer releases on receipt, the contract co-signs to vendor wallet within 30–90 minutes. Dispute-path: the platform-side panel co-signs after ruling. Refund-path: vendor and platform co-sign for return-to-buyer.

Dispute branch

The three-panel arbitration handles disputes with signed rulings logged on the vendor profile. SLA: 6 hours mean ticket pickup; current quarterly average is 4.8 hours.
