Republic, a private investing platform for alternative assets, has partnered with Mawari, an Extended Reality (XR) and DePIN project, to launch the first node license sale for U.S. participants via Reg D, as per information shared with Finbold on July 22.
The launch operates through Republic’s managed infrastructure platform Republic Runtime, and marks the first node sale on Republic Launchpad through OpenDeal Broker LLC.
Mawari operates an Immersive Compute Network that delivers high-quality, real-time 3D content through community-operated machines. The company’s patented 3D streaming engine reduces data usage by up to 80% for complex 3D content delivery.
The company has deployed technology for T-Mobile, Netflix, BMW, and KDDI, and has partnerships with Qualcomm and Niantic. Mawari has raised over $17 million from Web2 and Web3 investors, including Samsung Next.
First node license sale for U.S. investors
“Republic Launchpad has established a foundation in utility token offerings for U.S. investors and is proud to evolve our offerings with Mawari as the first node sale under the DIO model,” said Caitlin Szikszai from Republic.
The collaboration introduces Mawari’s Decentralized Infrastructure Offering (DIO), allowing US-based participants to join a legally compliant node license sale. Republic users will have exclusive access to the offering starting July 23, one week before the public launch.
“Node offerings never reached U.S. soil—until now,” added Luis Oscar Ramirez, Founder & CEO of Mawari. “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.”
Utility-based model
Unlike traditional node sales that rely on speculation, Mawari’s DIO uses a utility-based model that compensates actual participation and measurable network contributions. The offering features transparent pricing and performance-based rewards, allowing community members to support network growth by purchasing Guardian Node licenses.
Guardian Node Operators monitor network health and uptime in exchange for Network Monitoring Rewards, which represent 20% of Mawari Network’s total revenue, plus additional incentives for early participants. Users can either run nodes directly using standard hardware with minimum 1GHz CPU and 8GB RAM, or delegate operations to verified node operators for fully managed services.
Republic is developing an option for Mawari offering participants to delegate their nodes through Republic Runtime, the company’s institutional staking division that manages over $1.5 billion in delegated assets across 100+ validator nodes.
