No connection. Decentralized.Host has no token, credits, payments or rewards of any kind.

How this differs from Stripe/PayPal-style payments

A traditional payment processor sits between payer and payee, holding the actual settlement authority: it debits one account and credits another in its own ledger, and the money only really moves when the processor's own bank rails clear. Blockchain-based payments settle directly between the two parties' addresses on a shared public ledger -- no intermediary custodies the funds mid-transfer, and settlement finality is defined by the chain's own consensus rules (Solana's is sub-second; Bitcoin's classically wants several confirmations) rather than a company's internal database commit.
