 The SDP is a set of services that enable organizations to disburse funds to recipients using the Stellar network. The SDP consists of the following services:
 - Stellar Disbursement Platform (SDP) Core Service: the core backend service that performs several functions.
-- Anchor Platform: the API server that the wallet uses to authenticate and initiate the recipient’s registration process through the SEP-24 deposit flow.
+- Anchor Platform (optional): the API server that the wallet uses to authenticate and initiate the recipient's registration process through the SEP-24 deposit flow. **Note**: Anchor Platform can be disabled via `global.enableAnchorPlatform` (default: `false`).
 - Transaction Submission Service (TSS): the service that submits all payment transactions to the Stellar network.
 - Dashboard: the user interface administrators use to initiate and track the progress of disbursements.
