-## Payer-Authority Pattern
-
-The Payer-Authority pattern is an elegant way to handle situations where the
-account’s funder (payer) differs from the account’s owner or manager
-(authority). By requiring separate signers and validating them in your onchain
-logic, you can maintain clear, robust, and flexible ownership semantics in your
-program.
-
-### Shank Example
-
-```rust
-// Create a new account.
-#[account(0, writable, signer, name="account", desc = "The address of the new account")]
-#[account(1, writable, signer, name="payer", desc = "The account paying for the storage fees")]
-#[account(2, optional, signer, name="authority", desc = "The authority signing for the account creation")]
-#[account(3, name="system_program", desc = "The system program")]
-CreateAccountV1(CreateAccountV1Args),
-```
-
-### Anchor Example
-
-```rust
-#[derive(Accounts)]
-pub struct CreateAccount<'info> {
-    /// The address of the new account
-    #[account(init, payer = payer_one, space = 8 + NewAccount::MAXIMUM_SIZE)]
-    pub account: Account<'info, NewAccount>,
-
-    /// The account paying for the storage fees
-    #[account(mut)]
-    pub payer: Signer<'info>,
-
-    /// The authority signing for the account creation
-    pub authority: Option<Signer<'info>>,
-
-    // The system program
-    pub system_program: Program<'info, System>
-}
-```
