Mawari Partners with Caldera to Launch Mawari Network, Enabling Real-Time Streaming of Immersive, AI-Powered Experiences Globally
Mawari Network represents a breakthrough in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), orchestrating storage, bandwidth, and rendering capabilities through a globally distributed network of GPU nodes. The platform's patented 3D streaming technology reduces bandwidth usage by 80% while ensuring seamless delivery of interactive, immersive, and contextually relevant spatial computing experiences.
'Caldera lets us persist stream-quality measurements—latency, jitter, dropped frames, and frame accuracy—on-chain in near real time,' said Luis Oscar Ramirez, Founder & CEO of Mawari. 'Guardian Nodes produce signed QoS attestations that are batched to the rollup; these records inform node reputation, routing, and reward calculations based on observed performance. Anchoring this loop on Caldera's high-throughput rollup makes our quality and usage data transparent and auditable for the Mawari Network ecosystem.'
'We're incredibly excited to have Mawari join the Caldera ecosystem,' said Matthew Katz, CEO of Caldera. 'Mawari is pioneering an entirely new application of blockchain technology for the delivery of XR content.'
Proven Market Adoption
Mawari's XR streaming technology is already being used by two of Japan's biggest VTuber agencies – Brave group and Virtual Avex. Together, they first showcased Mawari's vTubeXR product at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai Japan in late May and each are part of Mawari's Early Access Program, designed to give Early Access Partners priority access to new features, dedicated onboarding support, and customizable monetization opportunities. Mawari plans to expand vTubeXR to a broader range of VTuber production companies and IP holders, supporting the evolution of both user experience and business models.
Technical Innovation Meets Market Demand
The Mawari Network utilizes two core technologies: Mawari's patented spatial streaming technology that works with Unity and Unreal Engine, and a strategically distributed network of edge computing nodes positioned near end-users. This architecture enables smooth AR/VR experiences on everyday devices by handling computationally intensive rendering remotely.
With the extended reality market projected to exceed 100 million devices within five years, Mawari's DePIN approach democratizes participation by allowing anyone with GPU capacity to contribute to the network while earning rewards.
Looking Forward
The launch marks a significant milestone in bridging XR and Web3 technologies. Mawari Network's utility-based revenue model, backed by physical infrastructure and growing enterprise partnerships, positions the platform for sustainable growth across market cycles.

One of the Most Prolific VR Headset Makers (Not Meta) Now Has Smart Glasses (Not Ray-Bans)
XR, or extended reality, headsets are on the outs, but smart glasses are eating more and more of what was once VR's slice of the face-mounted wearables pie. HTC, one of the few lingering pioneers of VR headsets with its Vive series, couldn't stand up to Meta's Quest for cheap consumer virtual reality, but it may be able to shoulder in some room with a new pair of smart glasses that goes tit for tat with Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley HSTN smart eyewear. The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have proved popular enough that now many of the longtime staples of VR are coming out of the woodwork to offer their own version. HTC is now fashioning a pair of stylish frames called the Vive Eagle. They come in slick translucent plastic and sport the usual 12-megapixel ultrawide cameras and twin speakers on each arm. It's using a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset and comes with 32GB of onboard storage. In a video, HTC showed off a few of the unique features for the Vive Eagle, including AI noise suppression to keep ambient noise down when you're on a call. Like the Ray-Ban Meta, the Vive Eagle also connects to an AI assistant. The device can use AI image and text recognition if you need it to spell any text you're looking at. Vive is compatible with Google Gemini and ChatGPT for features like translation, though we don't have more details about what specific models users will have access to. HTC said users should also be able to ask the AI to set up calendar events. Like Meta's glasses AI, the Vive Eagle has a 'memory' feature that can recall people you've met or where you parked your car. Users would need to connect through the Vive Connect app to use any of these AI features. HTC hasn't mentioned what apps Vive Eagle will be compatible with, and since the smart glasses are currently only available in Taiwan, it's unclear what sort of compatibility we can expect if it ever makes its way to the U.S. If the AI wasn't already a big copycat scheme, the smart glasses would be practically identical to the Ray-Bans in specs. HTC promised the Vive Eagle can do a full 4.5 hours of continuous music playback, and it should last more than 36 hours on standby on its 235mAh battery. Meta promises users should get up to four hours on the Ray-Bans with moderate usage. The larger Oakley Meta glasses promise a up to five hours of audio playback at 100% charge. HTC promises the Vive Eagle will charge from 0 to 50% in less than 10 minutes with fast charging through its glasses case. VIVE Eagle 🕶️ announced! 🔊 The audio is truly amazing with very little leakage. Loud & bassy.📷 12MP super wide FOV camera🎙️ 4x mic array, with a great directional mic to capture your voice even in noisy environments🔋 Large battery for lasting the entire day. Charges 50% in… — Shen Ye (@shen) August 14, 2025Considering the specs and capabilities, HTC's biggest impediment will be price. It's currently asking for 15,600 new Taiwan dollars, or around $535. The device could cost less if HTC ever brings the Vive Eagle to the U.S., and even then it will face stiff competition. Some China-based companies are going hard into AR glasses, including ones with full screens housed in utterly massive frames. Other Ray-Ban Meta competitors, like these glasses from Xiaomi feature much longer battery life, closer to 8 hours of continuous music playback. Meta has still yet to release a rumored $1,000 pair of AR glasses codenamed 'Hypernova' featuring a small heads-up display. We're still waiting to see what comes out of Android XR and Google's partnership with glasses maker Xreal. HTC's last big product, the Vive Focus Vision, was an expensive $1,000 headset for PC VR with a dated VR-focused chipset and Fresnel lenses, an older style of lenses found on the $300 Meta Quest 3S that are considered worse than pancake lenses found on the $500 Meta Quest 3. If HTC really wants to compete with other big smart glasses makers, it needs to show us a product we truly haven't seen before—preferably at a lower price.

Caldera Launches ERA Force One to Strengthen On-Chain Tokenholder Community
San Francisco, United States, August 13th, 2025, Chainwire Caldera today announced the launch of ERA Force One, a new community platform created to provide $ERA token holders with status and direct access to the team and fellow strategists. Inspired by the "Air Force One" moniker, the program establishes a tiered community structure where members earn ranks based on the official U.S. Air Force progression. A member's rank, which is determined by their total token and staked token balance, dictates their level of access and community standing. Building a Unified Community ERA Force One represents a significant step forward in community building for Caldera's ecosystem. The platform introduces a ranking system where users progress from "Airman Basic" to "General" based on the sum of their ERA token holdings and staked positions. This merit-based structure ensures that the most committed community members receive appropriate recognition and access to premium benefits. "Our community is the backbone of Caldera, and ERA Force One is our way of recognizing their conviction," said a spokesperson for Caldera. "We're adopting the official Air Force ranks to create a structured and familiar path for advancement. We want our most dedicated holders, our 'Generals' and 'Colonels', helping us shape our strategic direction." Exclusive Access and Future Rewards Members of ERA Force One gain access to exclusive communities for networking and strategy. Top-tier members, such as those who achieve the ranks of General, Brigadier General, and Colonel, are granted entry into private Telegram groups for direct communication with the team and fellow strategists. This platform serves as a direct channel between the project and its most committed stakeholders, ensuring community voices are central to future governance and development initiatives. Beyond immediate community access, ERA Force One members may be eligible for future initiatives and potential rewards. Specific details of upcoming programs remain under development. Seamless Registration Process Community members can register for ERA Force One through the dedicated platform at The registration process automatically calculates users' combined token holdings and staked positions to assign appropriate ranks within the community hierarchy. Supporting Caldera's Growing Ecosystem The launch of ERA Force One comes as Caldera continues to expand its influence in the blockchain infrastructure space after a successful launch of the $ERA token, which is listed on top-tier exchange venues such as Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Upbit, Bitget, and Bithumb. The community platform aligns with Caldera's broader mission of building sustainable, engaged ecosystems around its technology offerings. By creating structured incentives for token holders, ERA Force One strengthens the project's relationship with its community while establishing a framework for future governance and participation initiatives.
