This site does not probe an onion, so nothing here is a claim that a given address opens for you right now.
The footer on the real nexus market is a short strip at the bottom of every framed page. It carries a small number of links, no trust badges, no awards and no third party logos. A footer that stitches those on is a different footer.
What it is
The footer is the last strip on every framed page. On the real page it holds a handful of links and one line of copy. The links point at pages inside the same frame. There are no third party logos. There are no coloured trust badges. There is no small print asking the reader to enter an email address to hear about updates. The footer is quiet by design because the page is not selling the reader anything more than what the reader came for.
Lifeline
- The reader is above the fold
- The reader is at the bottom of the frame
- The reader clicks a link and the frame reloads
What the strip carries
- Links
- A small handful pointing at pages inside the same frame. Nothing pointing off the site.
- Copy
- One line, sometimes two. Descriptive. Not a slogan. Not a mission statement.
- Colour
- The same background as the rest of the frame, or one shade different. Not a contrasting hero band.
- Extras
- None. No badges. No award logos. No email capture. No social icons.
What a lookalike stitches on
- A row of trust badges, sometimes carrying the names of well known payment brands. The real footer does not carry these.
- A row of social icons pointing at accounts on other sites. The real footer does not link off the frame at all.
- An email capture field with a promotional line beside it. The real page does not collect an email at the footer.
- A copyright notice with a year that does not match the year the reader is in. Year mismatches are a small signal on top of the larger one.
Why the footer is thin
A thin footer lets the top of the page carry the weight. On the real page the reader has already been served what they came for by the time they reach the bottom of the frame. On a page put up to imitate the real one, the imitator often stitches badges and slogans onto the footer because the footer is the easiest strip on which to look like an established site. The stitching is what carries the signal.
How a reader checks this
The reader scrolls to the bottom of the framed page and reads the strip once. If the strip is a handful of quiet links and one line of descriptive copy, that matches. If the strip carries a row of coloured badges, a row of social icons, an email capture or a copyright year that does not match the reader has, that is worth another beat.
What this pairs with
The footer wording pairs with the wordmark position and with the currency picker position. All three are framing signals at the edge of the page, and all three drift together on a page built by an imitator working from screenshots. A reader who reads the top of the frame, the corner of the header and the bottom of the frame in one pass has taken a fair sample of the framing signals of the site.
Engagement
What this card does not claim
- It does not name the pages the footer links point at. Those pages can move on a rebuild and this card is about the strip.
- It does not treat a footer with a social icon as proof of a fake, because a rebuild can add one and the site does not know a rebuild has not happened.
- It does not say the footer has always looked this way. It reports the current shape and moves with the page.
