Allegedly, Facebook is specifically targeting the developing nations like India, where the user base is strong enough to experiment and where the government-backed fiat currencies are more volatile like Venezuela.
As per The Information, in order to solve the crucial mathematical problems, which are required in the transaction validation process, Facebook is collaborating with famous and well established third-party firms who would perform the action of nodes to justify the transactions and contribute in the decentralized cross border payment project. The privilege to get associated with the project would not come in free. The third-party has to pay a sum of $10 million if they want to empower the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
