Mawari is a technology company focused on building infrastructure for the 3D internet and spatial computing. It primary work is in developing a decentralized network to power the real-time streaming of immersive, AI-driven 3D experiences with near-zero latency.
The core of Mawari's offering is its Decentralized Content Delivery Network (CDN), a globally distributed network of GPU-powered nodes. This network, combined with Mawari's patented 3D streaming codec and a spatial rendering and streaming SDK, allows for the efficient cloud rendering and delivery of complex 3D content to a wide range of devices, including smartphones and XR glasses. This technology is designed to break the bottlenecks of traditional infrastructure, making high-quality, interactive AR and VR experiences scalable and accessible. The network is built on a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) model, which incentivizes individuals to contribute their unused compute resources.
As a participant in the Hedera ecosystem, Mawari is exploring how Hedera's fast, secure, and sustainable distributed ledger technology can be integrated into its decentralized infrastructure to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of its network, particularly as it expands its reach in the burgeoning spatial computing and 3D internet markets.

HLiquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built and deployed on the Hedera blockchain network. It offers users a method to take out loans against their HBAR collateral and enables HBAR holders to access liquidity in the form of a USD-pegged stablecoin without selling held HBAR assets.
The core mechanism allows users to deposit HBAR into a smart contract to mint the protocol's stablecoin to obtain interest-free loans with a one-time borrowing fee. HLiquity operates on a system of over-collateralization, requiring borrowers to maintain a collateral ratio above a specified minimum to secure their debt.
A key component of the protocol is the Stability Pool, where users can deposit the HLiquity-issued stablecoin. These deposits are used to absorb debt from liquidated positions, and Stability Pool providers are compensated with a share of the liquidated HBAR collateral. HLiquity aims to provide a capital-efficient and censorship-resistant borrowing solution within the Hedera DeFi ecosystem.
