In this episode of the DePINed Podcast, Tom Trowbridge sits down with Luis Oscar Ramirez, Founder of Mawari, the Immersive Compute Network powering the future of XR and AI.

Mawari started as a Web2 company trying to solve the hard problem of streaming 3D content for AR/VR — and found DePIN as the only viable way to scale.

Today, they’re running over 5,000 GPUs across APAC, powering real-time edge rendering, AI inference, and even virtual YouTubers — with a modular 4-node architecture and a mission to make immersive content truly global.

Topics covered:

– Why AR/VR needs real-time compute at the edge

– How Mawari evolved from XR studio to DePIN infra

– The use case explosion: from AI agents to K-pop avatars

– DePIN in Asia: Japan, Korea, and the coming wave

– Their upcoming Guardian Node launch & token model
