Due to minimal donations, I have decided to discontinue active development of Kabus as an open-source project. Maintaining and enhancing this marketplace script requires significant time and resources, and without adequate community backing, it is no longer sustainable to continue development using my personal time while managing other financial obligations.
The Kabus repository will remain open-source and available for use. You are free to fork, modify, and use the existing codebase according to the project's license terms.
Moving forward, I am developing Kabus-X, which will be a premium, paid Monero marketplace script featuring:
- Advanced security implementations
- Enhanced performance optimizations
- Exclusive features not available in the open-source version
- Regular updates and improvements
For more information about Kabus-X, including services, custom development, and portfolio showcase, please visit: https://github.com/sukunetsiz/kabus-x-studio
The purpose of creating Kabus was to contribute to the Monero ecosystem and ensure its growth. It was never created for any illegal purpose, nor does it encourage such activities. The aim of this marketplace script is to facilitate the sale of legal products online as anonymously as possible.
Built with PHP 8.3 and Laravel 11.

While active development of Kabus has concluded, the open-source codebase remains available for community use. If you're using the existing code:
- Monero Donations: Direct support through Monero payments
- Code Contributions: Community pull requests and improvements are still welcome
- Bug Reports: Issues can be reported for community visibility and potential fixes

Privacy is a human right, and it can never be taken away from anyone, nor should it even be suggested.
