Validators refer to entities that supply computing power to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network to process on-chain data and confirm transactions.
Worldpay settlement of the USDC stablecoin for clients will be enabled by BCW Group, which will host and operate a validator node to ensure the processing and validation of transactions.
"By enabling USDC settlements, Worldpay from FIS is expanding Web3 settlement capabilities to a hungry market of clients across the globe,” explained Hamzah Khan, head of DeFi and labs at Polygon, in a statement.
Earlier this year, Worldpay announced its partnership with Circle to enable crypto-native and traditional businesses to build a fit-for-purpose settlement and treasury strategy that caters to their preferred currency.
