Mawari, which focuses on real-time delivery of AI-powered immersive 3D experiences, has launched its public Guardian Node Offering under the Decentralised Infrastructure Offering (DIO) model.
The rollout comes after months of groundwork that began in January 2025, backed by early investor interest, strategic community participation, and private support from Japanese firms, including GFA Co. Ltd.
The initiative has so far secured $45 million worth of node license commitments to the network.
“Nearly 140,000 Guardian Node licenses are already committed; proof that the community values nodes that do real work,” said Luis Oscar Ramirez, Founder & CEO of Mawari.
“Guardian Nodes validate every render, audit every metric, and keep latency, jitter, and quality in check across Mawari’s Immersive Compute Network. By prioritizing measurable utility over hype, we’re laying the infrastructure that will power the future of the immersive internet.”
Details of the DIO
Mawari will open the public sale of its remaining 160,508 Guardian Nodes on July 30 via nodes.mawari.net, offering them exclusively to non-US participants under Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933.
This follows the reservation of over 139,492 nodes—nearly half of the total 300,000-node supply—during earlier phases.
Participants can purchase nodes using USDT or USDC on the Arbitrum network, with credit card payments expected to be added later.
All transactions will be processed on-chain and are fully auditable. Bridging instructions will be provided to facilitate participation.
Buyers may also receive unique referral codes that offer promotional incentives for each invited participant who completes a purchase.
These referral rewards—such as network credits, non-transferable badges, or other non-cash benefits—are strictly promotional and do not represent compensation for investment solicitation.
Unlike typical hype-driven launches, the DIO model takes a utility-first approach, focusing on active participation and tangible contributions to the network.
The company has recently brought on Japanese telecom giant KDDI as an infrastructure provider and entered into collaborations with Brave and Virtual Avex for VtuberXR.
Its XR Chip initiative has seen strong engagement, with over 490,000 wallets claiming the chip and more than 2 million participants interacting with the platform in the past month, as the Mawari Portal subscription base steadily expands.
