Mawari, a platform positioning itself as the world’s first Immersive Compute Network, has announced a strategic partnership with Caldera to launch the Mawari Network, aiming to deliver real-time, AI-powered immersive experiences across the globe [1]. The initiative focuses on streaming extended reality (XR) applications with near-zero latency, creating a seamless integration of digital and physical environments. This collaboration is expected to enhance user engagement in virtual and augmented reality experiences by leveraging advanced AI capabilities and distributed compute infrastructure [1].
The Mawari Network represents a breakthrough in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), orchestrating storage, bandwidth, and rendering capabilities through a globally distributed network of GPU nodes [1]. The platform’s patented 3D streaming technology reduces bandwidth usage by 80% while ensuring seamless delivery of interactive, immersive, and contextually relevant spatial computing experiences. The integration with Caldera’s metalayer interoperability network further enhances the platform’s ability to deliver high-performance, low-latency AR/VR experiences worldwide [1].
Mawari’s XR streaming technology is already being used by two of Japan’s biggest VTuber agencies—Brave Group and Virtual Avex. These partners have participated in the Early Access Program, which provides priority access to new features, dedicated onboarding support, and customizable monetization opportunities [1]. Mawari plans to expand vTubeXR to a broader range of VTuber production companies and IP holders, supporting the evolution of both user experience and business models [1].
Technically, the Mawari Network utilizes two core technologies: Mawari’s patented spatial streaming technology compatible with Unity and Unreal Engine, and a strategically distributed network of edge computing nodes positioned near end-users [1]. This architecture enables smooth AR/VR experiences on everyday devices by handling computationally intensive rendering remotely. With the extended reality market projected to exceed 100 million devices within five years, Mawari’s DePIN approach democratizes participation by allowing anyone with GPU capacity to contribute to the network while earning rewards [1].
The launch marks a significant milestone in bridging XR and Web3 technologies. Mawari Network’s utility-based revenue model, backed by physical infrastructure and growing enterprise partnerships, positions the platform for sustainable growth across market cycles [1].
Caldera, a modular blockchain ecosystem, enables blockchain companies to launch their own scalable blockchains and interoperate with assets across hundreds of other ecosystems. It secures $400M+ in total value and has processed 850M+ transactions across 27M+ unique addresses [1]. The partnership with Mawari underscores Caldera’s role in supporting innovative use cases for blockchain technology in emerging digital markets.
The timing of the partnership appears well-aligned with broader trends in AI adoption and the expansion of metaverse-related technologies. As companies continue to explore ways to deliver high-quality, real-time experiences to global audiences, the Mawari Network’s ability to reduce latency and improve accessibility could position it as a key infrastructure layer in the evolving digital ecosystem [1].
Analysts have noted that the convergence of AI and immersive computing is likely to drive substantial innovation in the coming years, particularly as hardware capabilities improve and 5G networks expand. However, the success of the Mawari Network will depend on its ability to attract developers and content creators, as well as its capacity to manage the computational demands of real-time, AI-driven experiences on a global scale [1].
The initiative also highlights the importance of infrastructure in supporting emerging technologies. As more companies look to offer immersive, interactive experiences, the availability of robust, scalable platforms will become a critical factor in determining market adoption and user satisfaction [1].
