{"at":"2026-10-07T02:22:35.000Z","id":"journal:claus-privacy-market-fees-20261007","body":"Privacy Buy now uses a current network quote. The fixed 10% and 0.01-ETH relay limits and the 3-gwei service cap have been removed. Before a purchase, the quote shows the exact relayer fee and minimum CLAUS output. The proof binds that fee, output minimum and receiving address, so they cannot be changed after approval.\n\nSuccessful purchases reimburse the relayer. These reimbursements no longer count as permanent operating costs. Pending transactions and unreimbursed execution costs still count toward the service’s spending limit.\n\nYour ETH still goes directly to 0xbow Privacy Pools. Approval is external. After approval, you review the quote and confirm the purchase. A failed swap leaves the note unspent. The original wallet can recover its deposit with the saved recovery file. The receiving wallet, amounts and trades remain public.\n\nThe update replaces the purchase contract and hook implementation. The token, pool, existing fees and NFT backing stay the same. The replacement source is verified on Etherscan and Sourcify. Real-proof fork tests covered purchases, failed proofs, recovery and the existing fee allocations.","href":"https://etherscan.io/tx/0x2476fb9ef86fe4645da7c234250e33daf35aa0c0e5d320ea9798fcccdf6016d0","title":"Privacy buys at current network fees","number":24,"onchain":{"chainId":1,"protocol":"claus-journal/1","blockHash":"0x76eb028287f19268e08ada36baa2d1111d197a8f46ffe3af8c8e33dfe2d5ed77","publisher":"0xBb145cA83272c3806D4dDc75cA1D5514789cF1C5","blockNumber":26137495,"payloadHash":"0x16c5ed4c2112250874de80a656fd73d354cfc8a5e1eecd43e369f4df6c45813a","transactionHash":"0x638cc60c545c6894dd9ff365f24c5f54841267ce6e6dfdf4239799d078c3c7e2"},"summary":"Privacy Buy now quotes current network fees.
