Mawari Raises $10.8 Million To Launch Tokenized Spatial Streaming Network
Mawari’s plan is to build a network of servers to enable real time spatial content at scale, without apps.
Mawari, the Tokyo-based pioneer in decentralized content delivery, has raised $10.8 million in strategic funding to scale its spatial computing capabilities. Mawari’s plan is to build a network of servers to enable real time spatial content at scale, without apps. The decentralized network will be tokenized to support the network of nodes through the globe. Anfield LTD, Borderless Capital, and 1kx led the round, with notable contributions from investors such as Animoca Brands, Blockchange Ventures, and Samsung Next.

Founded in 2017 by CEO Luis Oscar Ramirez and CTO Aleksandr Borisov, Mawari has focused on overcoming the technical bottlenecks that plague immersive content delivery. Their solution leverages decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and split rendering technology to efficiently stream high-quality 3D content to devices like the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3. As the company has grown, its client list has expanded to include KDDI, Netflix, BMW, and many others.
Mawari’s recent funding round will fuel the next phase of their ambitious plans: scaling their decentralized network. In addition, Mawari will continue improving its Spatial Streaming SDK, and invest in R&D, and opening new markets. The next step for Mawari is a “node license sale.” Mawari is turning to community-run nodes to expand its compute power. "We realized that centralized cloud providers, such as AWS, couldn’t scale our technology to handle the immense compute demands for 3D streaming at the level we need,” said Ramirez in an interview.
The node license sale is a central component of this strategy. Participants, ranging from individuals to enterprise data centers, can purchase licenses to run Mawari’s node software. These nodes will contribute computing power to the Mawari Network, which is optimized for spatial computing tasks such as rendering and streaming complex 3D content in real time. “This decentralized approach allows us to bypass the limitations of traditional cloud networks while offering resilient, scalable, real-time 3D streaming solutions for AR, VR, and other spatial computing applications,” Ramirez said.
