Promote with Leviathan NewsStellar offers zero validator rewards, so MoneyGram is eating the cost of three geographically dispersed full validators and a 99.9%+ uptime target to protect a rail it uses ([SCP](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/learn/fundamentals/stellar-consensus-protocol), [Tier 1](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/validators/tier-1-orgs)). MGUSD is native to Stellar and targets MoneyGram’s 60 million active customers across nearly 500,000 retail locations, tying validator uptime directly to its payment product ([MoneyGram](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/moneygram-launches-mgusd-a-stablecoin-to-power-its-own-global-network-302787799.html)).
