  version: '1.89'
  description: |
    CBPay is a multi-currency payment platform: fiat payouts and collections
    across Latin America, internal transfers, on-chain funding and
    withdrawals, and KYC screening. Every account holds four independent
    virtual balances — USDT (the operating currency), USDC, BTC and GOLD
    (grams of fine gold) — that never mix or convert automatically.
    Payouts and service fees can be paid from any of the four balances:
    set a default with `PUT /v1/settlement` or override per payout with
    `settlement_asset`.

    All amounts are decimal strings in each currency's precision (6 decimals
    for USDT/USDC/GOLD, 8 for BTC). Errors always return
    `{"error": "<code>", "message": "<detail>"}`.
