Republic and Mawari Debut First U.S.-Compliant Node License Sale for Immersive Tech Infrastructure

By Aaron Watts

Key highlights:

  • Republic and Mawari are launching the first-ever node license sale for U.S. users via a regulated broker-dealer framework.
  • Participants can run or delegate Guardian Nodes supporting Mawari’s real-time XR streaming network.
  • The DIO model ties node rewards to actual network utility, moving away from speculation-driven models.

A new model for node sales comes to the U.S. through Republic and Mawari

Republic is introducing a new chapter in decentralized infrastructure offerings by partnering with Mawari to launch a regulated node license sale aimed at U.S.-based participants. The offering, which begins July 23 for Republic users, is the first of its kind to be structured through a registered broker-dealer under Regulation D.

This collaboration brings Mawari’s Decentralized Infrastructure Offering (DIO) to Republic Launchpad, offering individuals a chance to support immersive content delivery through Guardian Nodes. It’s also the first node sale executed through Republic’s broker-dealer affiliate, OpenDeal Broker LLC, and facilitated using Republic Runtime’s automated infrastructure tools.

“Node offerings never reached U.S. soil—until now. By teaming up with Republic, we’ve turned regulatory hurdles into an open gateway: anyone can run a Guardian Node, fuel real‑time XR, and share in the value they create. We’re also rewriting the economics of node sales—cutting out the hype and tying rewards directly to real‑world network utility. This isn’t just a license sale; it’s the first step toward an immersive internet built & powered by its users.”
—Luis Oscar Ramirez, founder and CEO of Mawari

Focus on utility, not hype

Unlike conventional token or node sales that rely on market speculation, Mawari’s DIO is built around measurable performance. Participants contribute by either running their own node or delegating the role to verified operators. Guardian Node Operators receive both a share of the network’s revenue—20% allocated to monitoring rewards—and fixed early participant incentives.

Nodes require modest hardware (1GHz CPU, 8GB RAM), making them accessible to a broad base of users. Alternatively, those who prefer a hands-off role can delegate their licenses to vetted operators using Republic’s staking infrastructure. Republic Runtime currently manages more than $1.5 billion in delegated assets and operates over 100 validator nodes across its platform.

Meeting demand for AI-powered immersive experiences

Mawari’s Immersive Compute Network, which reduces data transmission needs by up to 80%, is built to support the expanding global appetite for real-time 3D and spatial computing. With partnerships spanning brands like Netflix, BMW, and T-Mobile, and backing from Samsung Next and other major investors, Mawari has already demonstrated use cases across entertainment and enterprise applications.

This initiative aims to distribute infrastructure for high-performance XR computing through community-operated nodes. The spatial computing market is forecast to reach over $377 billion by 2030, and Mawari’s approach—streaming lifelike 3D content via decentralized systems—positions it to tap into that demand while reducing centralization risks.

The bottom line

Republic and Mawari’s launch of a U.S.-compliant node sale represents a meaningful step toward making decentralized infrastructure more accessible and transparent. By tying rewards directly to actual contributions and eliminating speculative pricing models, the DIO structure may offer a more sustainable path forward for decentralized networks aiming to support next-gen digital experiences.
