## What Hodle Does

- **Pay Pix from a stablecoin balance**: `POST /api/wallet/payout` settles a Pix payment funded by the user's USDT (Polygon, Tron) or USDC (Base) balance. Gas is sponsored. One POST plus one GET.
- **Lightning to Pix**: `POST /api/lightning/invoice` issues a BOLT11 invoice; once it is paid, a Pix payout is triggered automatically. Payer anywhere in the world, recipient in Brazil.
- **On-ramp and off-ramp**: convert BRL to Lightning, USDT, USDC, or USDCE and deliver to an address.
- **Self-custodial wallets**: read addresses per network and balances; fetch the `protectedSymmetricKey` needed to sign payouts and transfers. Private keys stay under the end user's control.
- **Multi-network transfers**: move USDT to any address on Polygon, Base, or Tron. Gas sponsored on EVM networks.
- **KYC**: submit and inspect KYC for end users. Required for on-ramp and off-ramp.
- **Account statement**: balances per asset and a paginated list of operations over a window.
- **Webhooks**: signed payloads with HMAC verification for deposits, payouts, and KYC state changes.

## Key Use Cases

### For SaaS platforms and marketplaces
Embed Pix payouts funded by stablecoin balances. Accept Pix, settle in USDT or USDC, reconcile through signed webhooks.

Programmatic access to Brazilian payment rails. An agent can issue an invoice, pay a Pix, move stablecoins across networks, and read balances through the REST API.

### For companies paying or receiving across borders
Issue a Lightning invoice to a payer abroad and settle BRL in Brazil, or hold dollar-denominated balances and pay out in Pix.

### For fintechs and PSPs
Multi-network stablecoin wallets and Pix rails via API, without building the integration in-house.
