Republic and Mawari Launch First U.S. Compliant Node License Sale for XR/DePIN Project

Republic, a leading platform for alternative asset investments, has partnered with Mawari, a project in the Extended Reality (XR) and DePIN sectors, to launch the first-ever node license sale for U.S. participants. This initiative, facilitated through Republic’s Reg D framework and its managed infrastructure platform Republic Runtime, marks a significant step in expanding access to decentralized infrastructure projects under regulatory compliance. The offering is structured as a Decentralized Infrastructure Offering (DIO) and will be hosted via OpenDeal Broker LLC, a subsidiary of Republic.

The collaboration aims to establish a precedent for compliant node sales by leveraging Republic’s expertise in utility token offerings and Mawari’s technology in spatial computing. Luis Oscar Ramirez, Mawari’s CEO, emphasized that the offering transforms regulatory challenges into opportunities, enabling U.S. participants to operate Guardian Nodes, contribute to real-time XR infrastructure, and earn rewards tied to network utility. Republic’s Caitlin Szikszai highlighted the evolution of their platform to include node sales under the DIO model, underscoring the partnership’s role in advancing infrastructure-as-a-service in the Web3 ecosystem.

Republic users will gain exclusive early access to the DIO starting July 23rd, a week ahead of the public launch. The offering allows U.S. participants to purchase Guardian Node licenses through a Reg D-compliant process, marking a first in the sector. Mawari’s technology, including its Immersive Compute Network and patented 3D streaming engine, reduces data usage by 80% while delivering high-quality 3D content. The network has already been deployed in projects for major clients such as T-Mobile, Netflix, and BMW, and has secured $17 million in funding from Web2 and Web3 investors, including Samsung Next.

The DIO model distinguishes itself by prioritizing utility over speculation. Participants can either operate nodes using standard hardware or delegate licenses to verified operators. Guardian Node Operators earn 20% of the Mawari Network’s revenue through Network Monitoring Rewards, alongside fixed incentives for early adopters. Republic’s Republic Runtime platform, which manages $1.5 billion in delegated assets, will further support investors by offering institutional-grade staking services for Mawari nodes.

Mawari’s mission to enable mass adoption of AI-driven spatial computing aligns with its vision of an “immersive internet” powered by user-generated infrastructure. The company’s fusion of AI and XR technologies aims to deliver low-latency, real-time experiences, positioning it as a leader in the DePIN space. Republic, meanwhile, continues to expand its role in supporting Web3 innovation, having previously contributed to projects like Avalanche and Supra through its research and advisory arm. The partnership underscores the growing convergence of regulated finance and decentralized infrastructure, addressing scalability challenges in the Web3 ecosystem.

Eligible participants must be U.S. accredited investors, with the offering structured as a speculative investment in Mawari’s digital assets. The collaboration highlights the potential for regulated platforms to bridge gaps in accessibility and compliance for decentralized infrastructure projects. As the spatial computing market projects to reach $377.45 billion by 2030, the DIO model positions Mawari to capitalize on emerging demand for AI-driven immersive content while providing investors with a transparent, performance-based return structure.

Disclosures emphasize the risks inherent in the offering, including illiquidity and market volatility. Investors are advised to conduct due diligence and consult financial advisors. The launch represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of node-based infrastructure models, demonstrating how regulatory alignment can unlock new opportunities in decentralized networks.
