Encrypted cUSDC payments are sent through the X402PaymentVerifier relay using the pay command. You need a valid RPC URL, wallet setup, correct recipient address, 6-decimal USDC precision, and secure nonce handling to execute the transaction.

Wrapping plain USDC into confidential cUSDC on Zama uses the wrap command and requires two on-chain transactions. This process converts standard tokens into Zama-encrypted assets, enabling subsequent encrypted balance queries and private payments.

You can decrypt an encrypted cUSDC balance using OpenClaw. The balance command supports decrypt options, allowing you to query and read both public and encrypted wallet state directly from your Zama-encrypted assets.

Yes, managing cUSDC requires an RPC URL and proper wallet setup. This environment configuration is necessary to interact with Zama-encrypted assets, read network and wallet info, and execute encrypted payments through the relay.

Limitations of confidential cUSDC payments include the strict requirement for 6-decimal USDC precision and the necessity of completing two on-chain transactions for wrapping. Additionally, secure nonce handling is mandatory to prevent payment replay issues.
