Mawari, a Tokyo-based company, has successfully raised $10.8 million in funding to enhance its spatial computing capabilities.

Mawari's solutions consist of the Spatial Streaming SDK and the Mawari Network, designed to meet the high-bandwidth and low-latency demands of spatial computing.

Mawari plans to scale its decentralized network and improve its Spatial Streaming SDK, while also investing in research and development and entering new markets.

The node system includes three types of licenses: Spatial Streamer nodes for heavy computations, Guardian nodes for data integrity, and Pulse nodes for network testing and simulation.

A key strategy involves a 'node license sale' that allows participants to run Mawari’s node software, contributing computing power to the network.

Investors, including Sean Carey from Borderless Capital, believe Mawari is positioned to effectively address scalability challenges in spatial computing.

The company utilizes decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and split rendering technology for efficient streaming of high-quality 3D content to devices like Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3.

The funding round was led by Anfield LTD, Borderless Capital, and 1kx, with significant contributions from Animoca Brands, Blockchange Ventures, and Samsung Next.

Founded in 2017 by CEO Luis Oscar Ramirez and CTO Aleksandr Borisov, Mawari aims to overcome technical challenges in immersive content delivery.

This decentralized approach aims to provide scalable, resilient, and low-latency 3D streaming solutions for augmented and virtual reality applications.

The company plans to launch its mainnet in the fourth quarter of 2024 across three geographic regions, targeting specific use cases like engineering education and sports entertainment.
