Mawari Teams Up with Caldera to Launch XR Streaming Network with 80% Bandwidth Reduction

Mawari has announced a strategic partnership with Caldera to launch the Mawari Network, a decentralized infrastructure designed to support real-time streaming of immersive, AI-powered extended reality (XR) experiences globally. This collaboration marks a significant development in the convergence of blockchain technology and spatial computing, aiming to reduce latency and enhance the delivery of AR/VR content through a distributed network of GPU nodes [1].

The Mawari Network operates as a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), leveraging patented 3D streaming technology to reduce bandwidth consumption by 80%. This efficiency allows for seamless, interactive, and contextually relevant spatial experiences. By integrating with Caldera’s interoperable blockchain infrastructure, Mawari can persist real-time quality-of-service (QoS) metrics—such as latency, jitter, and frame accuracy—on-chain. Guardian Nodes within the network generate signed QoS attestations, which are batched to the Caldera rollup, enabling transparent and auditable performance tracking that informs node reputation and reward distribution [1].

“This partnership with Caldera allows us to anchor critical data such as latency, jitter, and frame accuracy on-chain, creating a transparent and auditable system for the Mawari ecosystem,” said Luis Oscar Ramirez, CEO of Mawari. Matthew Katz, CEO of Caldera, added that Mawari is “pioneering an entirely new application of blockchain technology for the delivery of XR content” [1].

Mawari’s technology is already in use by two major VTuber agencies in Japan—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. The vTubeXR product, first showcased at the Expo 2025 Osaka in May, represents a key step in the commercialization of Mawari’s platform [1].

Technically, the Mawari Network combines two core innovations: spatial streaming technology compatible with Unity and Unreal Engine, and a distributed edge computing architecture that positions GPU nodes near end-users. This design enables high-quality AR/VR experiences on standard devices by offloading rendering tasks to the cloud. As the extended reality market expands, Mawari’s DePIN model allows for broader participation, enabling users with GPU resources to contribute to the network and earn rewards [1].

The integration of XR and Web3 technologies is seen as a transformative milestone for both industries. Mawari’s utility-based revenue model, supported by growing enterprise partnerships and physical infrastructure, positions the platform for sustainable growth. Caldera, which secures over $400 million in total value and has processed more than 850 million transactions, offers a scalable and interoperable blockchain environment that supports Mawari’s global ambitions [1].
