Mawari Secures $10.8M to Build the Future of Decentralized 3D Content Streaming

We’re thrilled to announce that Mawari just raised $10.8 million to accelerate our mission of bringing the 3D internet to everyone! This round was led by, Anfield LTD, Borderless Capital, 1k(x) alongside heavy-hitters like Samsung Next, Animoca Brands Japan, and other institutional backers.

The round also brings in a cohort of notable angels like Ivan Brightly, Joshua Frank, Pete Townsend, and Helium co-founder Sean Carey. 

Bringing the 3D Internet to Everyone

Mawari is uniquely positioned to address one of the core challenges in the spatial computing industry, formerly known as XR (eXtended Reality): delivering scalable infrastructure for real-time 3D applications.

One of the biggest reasons why immersive 3D experiences are not ubiquitous today is because they require lightning-fast, high-fidelity content rendering and delivery at a scale, which is unattainable with today’s centralized systems. Think about the devices that are vying to be part of this future: the Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3/3S and Meta Orion AR glasses.

hardware marvels, but they need an infrastructure that doesn’t buckle under the weight of delivering instantaneous, interactive 3D experiences.

Mawari solves this through the newly launched Mawari Network, which leverages a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN). The Mawari network is the only full-stack spatial computing platform offering decentralized compute and storage resources optimized for AR/VR experiences. In other words, this isn’t just decentralization for decentralization’s sake—it’s about speed, scalability, and lowering costs to unlock a new generation of locally delivered, fully immersive experiences.

Building on Mawari’s Record of Success

This recent raise is a continuation of Mawari’s successful track record within the web2 space, which now extends into new web3-enabled applications and sectors. Mawari was founded in 2017, and has since established a significant lead in the 3D content streaming space, securing three patents with 12 more in the pipeline. To date, Mawari’s impressive client lineup includes name brands like T-Mobile, Netflix, BMW, KDDI, and Sapporo—a clear signal that Mawari’s tech isn’t a hypothetical experiment; it’s been redefining immersive experiences for nearly a decade.

So what’s next? The funds raised will primarily go toward maintaining Mawari’s technological edge and scaling its spatial streaming SDK, which supports platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine. This will make it even easier for developers to build seamless 3D experiences that work across everyday devices cost-effectively at scale. 

Accelerating into the Mawari Node Sale

This funding round also sets the stage for Mawari’s upcoming node license sale, which will take place later this year. Having initially bootstrapped—averaging $1.5 million in revenue per year—Mawari plans to conduct a node license sale in Q4 of 2024 to decentralize and scale its spatial computing network.

Node sale participation will be capped, so be sure to pre-register your interest in Mawari nodes you’re interested in running and receiving rewards from. You can learn more about the upcoming Mawari node sale.

Building the Future of Spatial Computing, Together

With the support of industry heavyweights spanning web3 and traditional tech, and strategic guidance from top-tier backers like Sean Carey, Mawari is poised to lead the charge in building the infrastructure for the 3D Internet.

This funding isn’t just about scaling 3D streaming tech—it’s about defining the next era of the internet. With our institutional and community backers, Mawari is now setting the stage for decentralized, real-time 3D content delivery, ensuring that immersive experiences—spanning entertainment, gaming, and beyond—are accessible and scalable on a global level.
