Tokyo-based spatial computing giant Mawari has announced an expansion of its existing infrastructural suite through its Decentralized Infrastructure Offering (DIO).
Designed to support the growing global demand for AI-powered 3D experiences, DIO invites compute resource owners worldwide to become โGuardian Node Operatorsโ so as to contribute to a decentralized ecosystem capable of powering immersive digital content (including lifelike AI avatar agents). On the development, Luis Oscar Ramirez, CEO of Mawari, opined:

“Our Guardian Node Operators actively support critical infrastructure powering immersive 3D and AI experiences worldwide. By aligning operator rewards with the network’s genuine demand-driven growth, we’re creating a fair and sustainable infrastructure built for longevity.”
Guardian Node Licenses are set to become available starting early June and will be priced at $333 per license. They will be issued exclusively on the Arbitrum chain for purchasers in approved jurisdictions.
Systematic Partnerships as Flag Bearers for Sustained Growth
The initiative comes in response to the skyrocketing demand for complex, real-time 3D experiences, the market for which is projected to reach $377.45 billion over the next 60 months.
Furthermore, it bears mentioning that the infrastructure for DIO is set to be bolstered by several strategic alliances, including those with KDDI, one of Japan’s largest telecommunications providers; Netflix, the worldโs largest OTT content provider; T-Mobile, an American wireless network operator; BMW, a German luxury car manufacturer, and Animoca Brands Japan, a subsidiary of the well-known blockchain gaming company.
In fact, reports suggest that Animoca Brands Japan will host a private Guardian Node license sale in order to broaden participation and further strengthen the network. Additionally, Mawari has also secured infrastructure service partnerships with Easeflow, DepinHub, Zelucash, and Bitmedia (in partnership with KDDI) to provide operational support options for its Guardian Node Operators.
The partnerships will help Mawari scale its mobile edge computing (MEC) infrastructure to support increasingly sophisticated immersive AI applications โ especially those related to tourism guidance, customer service, and enterprise support.
A Revenue Model Based on Real-world Demand
Unlike decentralized infrastructure projects that rely heavily on speculative token economics, Mawari emphasizes a model driven by market demand and revenue generation. In this regard, it bears mentioning that Mawari has completed over 50 successful projects for various major brands to date.
However, circling back to the firmโs revenue structure, one can see that Guardian Node Operators can earn via its โNetwork Monitoring Rewardsโ framework, which represents 20% of the Mawari Network’s total revenue.
The company also offers โEarly Operator Incentivesโ in the form of token allocations per node license, rewarding early operators who maintain high reliability standards during the initial network growth phase.
Lastly, it bears mentioning that Mawari’s network leverages the power of a dedicated blockchain built atop Arbitrum Orbit โ a framework that allows developers to launch customizable L2s and L3s seamlessly, thereby maximizing security and scalability.ย
Looking ahead, Mawari is looking to provide meaningful participation opportunities for those interested in contributing to the future of immersive technologies, like extended reality (XR) and AI, with their approach aimed at creating a more inclusive decentralized ecosystem as compared to most of its contemporaries.
