Seems like a bit of a strange implementation: Under Payment settlement, select one or more blockchain networks for stablecoin payments. Any wallet address on the supported networks is accepted, whether self-managed or hosted by a wallet provider such as Coinbase. For each network, provide your wallet address and set a Base price per page in USDC. You can add multiple networks using Add network. AWS does not process payments or take a fee on content revenue; disbursement is self-managed or managed by your wallet provider. AWS doesn't (directly) accept crypto payments for things itself does it?
