| For anchors, the most important SEPs are [SEP-6]: Programmatic Deposit and Withdrawal, [SEP-24]: Hosted Deposit and Withdrawal, and [SEP-31]: Cross Border Payments API. You’ll also work with [SEP-10]: Stellar Authentication, [SEP-12]: KYC API, and [SEP-38]: Anchor RFQ API. | ||

it looks like the anchor definitions you've removed weren't all used on the original page, but it's probably good to include SEPs 1 and 9 on this "also work with" list.

the original is pretty verbose, but in the sidebar on the page, bare "SEP-6 vs. SEP-24" might not give enough context for someone not-as-familiar with them. maybe we could find a middle ground like "Using Programmatic SEP-6 vs. Hosted SEP-24 Transfers"? that doesn't sound quite perfect, but gets a little closer maybe?

| An anchor is a Stellar-specific term for the on and off-ramps that connect the Stellar network to traditional financial rails, such as financial institutions or fintech companies. Anchors accept deposits of fiat currencies (such as the US dollar, Argentine peso, or Nigerian naira) via existing rails (such as bank deposits or cash-in points), then sends the user the equivalent digital tokens on the Stellar network. The equivalent digital tokens can either represent that same fiat currency or another digital token altogether. Alternatively, anchors allow token holders to redeem their tokens for the real-world assets they represent. | ||

it probably is useful to keep the wording about "on and off-ramps" since that's the more common "industry standard" language that's used. grounding the discussion of anchors in a familiar headspace for readers at least at the beginning probably serves us well.

i know we don't have many videos on the docs site currently (outside the dev meetings). i do like the idea of adding them, and this seems like as good a page as any to take that step on. just want to make sure (i don't remember at the moment), your <YouTube> component doesn't auto-play the video, does it?
This continues the work from #2446, inlining the protocol/SEP links, while adding a great vid introducing users to anchors and their role with assets such as those used in SEP6 and -2243 discussed later on in the page. It also rebuilds the routes to account for some structural changes modified in #2447. For some reason, the files around there were added previously but not pathfound, and the Actions check didn't catch it.
