  title: MW Payouts API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The MW Payouts API lets you programmatically retrieve exchange-rate quotes,
    calculate platform fees, and submit USDC-to-fiat payout transfers on behalf
    of your account.


    All requests must be authenticated with an API key obtained from the
    **Developers** section of the dashboard. API keys are for **server-side use
    only** — never embed them in client-side code.
