Mawari Teams Up with Caldera to Launch AI-Powered DePIN for Real-Time XR Streaming

Mawari has announced a strategic partnership with blockchain infrastructure provider Caldera to launch the Mawari Network, a decentralized infrastructure designed to enable real-time streaming of AI-powered immersive experiences, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) [1]. The integration with Caldera’s metalayer interoperability network enhances Mawari’s ability to deliver high-performance, low-latency spatial computing experiences on a global scale [1]. The Mawari Network operates as a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), leveraging a distributed network of GPU nodes to manage storage, bandwidth, and rendering [1].

A key innovation of the Mawari Network is its patented 3D streaming technology, which reduces bandwidth usage by 80% while maintaining the seamless delivery of interactive and contextually relevant spatial computing experiences [1]. This technology works in conjunction with GPU nodes that are strategically distributed across the globe, enabling the platform to offload computationally intensive rendering tasks from end-user devices [1].

The integration with Caldera’s blockchain infrastructure allows Mawari to record key performance metrics such as latency, jitter, and frame accuracy on-chain in near real time [1]. These metrics are used to generate signed quality-of-service (QoS) attestations, which inform node reputation, routing decisions, and reward calculations [1]. By anchoring these processes on Caldera’s high-throughput rollup, Mawari ensures that quality and usage data are transparent and auditable for the network ecosystem [1]. This on-chain verification enhances trust and accountability in the decentralized infrastructure [1].

Mawari’s technology is already being utilized by two of Japan’s largest virtual YouTuber (VTuber) agencies—Brave group and Virtual Avex—through Mawari’s Early Access Program [1]. These partners have participated in the showcase of Mawari’s vTubeXR product and are receiving priority access to new features, dedicated onboarding support, and customizable monetization tools [1]. Mawari plans to expand vTubeXR to a broader range of VTuber production companies and intellectual property (IP) holders, supporting the evolution of both user experience and business models [1].

The Mawari Network combines two core technologies: its patented spatial streaming solution, which is 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 offloading computationally intensive rendering tasks to remote servers [1]. As the extended reality market is expected to grow significantly over the next five years, Mawari’s DePIN model democratizes participation by allowing individuals with GPU capacity to contribute to the network and earn rewards [1].

The partnership marks a significant step in bridging the gap between extended reality (XR) and Web3 technologies [1]. Mawari’s utility-based revenue model, supported by physical infrastructure and enterprise partnerships, is positioned for long-term, sustainable growth [1]. Caldera, a modular blockchain ecosystem, has secured over $400 million in total value and has processed more than 850 million transactions across 27 million unique addresses [1]. This partnership not only highlights the potential of blockchain in decentralized infrastructure but also demonstrates how it can support the next wave of immersive computing.
