Mawari Network, a spatial computing DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), has announced a limited node license sale. Already a pioneer in immersive content, the node sale will make Mawari’s 3D streaming technology more scalable and accessible for content creators and developers. This node sale will help create a global, decentralized spatial computing infrastructure as the market for extended reality devices like the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Vision Pro, Meta (NASDAQ:META) Orion, and Meta Quest 3 is projected to reach more than 100 million units in the next five years. As demand for immersive experiences grows, Mawari is building a network that can grow with it. Mawari’s infrastructure is optimized for the demanding needs of immersive experiences, positioning Mawari as a key actor in the emerging multibillion-dollar spatial computing market. Called “a sleeping lion” by Samsung (KS:005930) Next, Mawari is redefining and building the future of spatial computing. Its solution comprises the Spatial Streaming SDK and the Mawari Network. The SDK, supporting the Unity and Unreal engines, empowers developers to create seamless, immersive experiences. The Mawari Network, working in parallel, leverages a globally distributed network of GPU nodes to ensure low latency and optimal performance. The node license sale’s objective is to help scale the network, optimize its global performance, and ensure its resiliency.Node Sale DetailsThe node sale is scheduled for Q4 2024, building out the Mawari Network’s ability to perform compute-intensive tasks and efficiently deliver immersive 3D content on a global scale. The Mawari Network will be leveraging specialized GPUs around the world for advanced computation and streaming tasks, but a set of Guardian Nodes are needed to verify their work and the performance of the network overall as it serves multiple simultaneous immersive experiences. The node sale is for licenses to operate these critical Guardian Nodes.More specifically, Guardian Nodes’ responsibilities include assessing critical performance indicators like latency, bandwidth, and content quality to maintain the high standards necessary for immersive, real-time experiences. By monitoring the Mawari network, the community-run Guardian Nodes will make it more performant and more resilient, ensuring it can scale securely as it grows.Details of the node license sale will be announced soon.About MawariMawari is setting the standard for decentralized spatial computing and immersive content delivery.

On Oct. 31, 2008, Nakamoto released the nine-page whitepaper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” which introduced a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash that would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without the use of a financial institution. This document would go on to outline the framework for a decentralized, digital currency powered by blockchain technology, marking a pivotal moment in the history of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo spotlighted the 16th anniversary of the Bitcoin white paper in a recent tweet, referring to it as “the perfect day to start the next bull run,” a sentiment that coincides with Bitcoin’s recent rise beyond $73,000. Since its publication, the whitepaper has not only aided Bitcoin’s prominence but has also laid the groundwork for an entire ecosystem of cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications. The paper continues to inspire innovation in a variety of domains, including decentralized banking and digital identity verification.The Bitcoin white paper proposed a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. Building on ideas like Adam Back’s “Hashcash,” Satoshi adapted the preexisting proof-of-work concept in order to address the double-spending problem.At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price fell by 0.15% in the last 24 hours to around $72,302, according to CoinMarketCap. Bitcoin reached $73,624 on Tuesday, its highest level since March 14, when it set a record.Bitcoin has been trading in a restricted range of $55,000 to $70,000, so the price climb remains significant. It has flirted with the $70,000 mark numerous times this year, and previous attempts over that level have proven to be only blips.Bitcoin has benefited from the market’s larger risk-on sentiment, with stocks reaching record highs this month amid rising interest rates, the return of demand for Bitcoin ETFs and another Federal Reserve rate policy announcement on Nov. 7.Bitcoin’s price has grown by over 9% in the last week. The digital asset is on track to close October up 14%, its biggest month since March.This article was originally published on U.Today More

Tony Vejseli, Figure Markets Holdings Inc., and GXD Labs, LLC (collectively “the Group”) today issued a statement to address recent developments following a meeting held on October 28 at White & Case’s Midtown Manhattan offices, where the Group met with the board of directors (the “Board”) and management team of Ionic Digital, Inc. (the “Company” or “Ionic”). The Group thanked White & Case for hosting the discussion but noted a need for clarification following the Company’s summary of the meeting in a press release, which they believe misrepresented several key points.In response to Ionic’s statement regarding its affirmation of “strong momentum” and its “laser-focus” on implementing its strategic initiatives, the Group raised concerns over the Board’s apparent lack of knowledge of core operating metrics. They highlighted that the Board appeared unprepared to discuss any aspects of its financial or operational performance, including by answering any of Mr. Vejseli’s questions as described in his post on X, leading to questions about the Company’s competitive position and valuation. The Group also expressed skepticism about Ionic’s ability to complete its audit, initially expected in early 2024 and now anticipated by Q1 2025 according to the Company, within the announced timeframe due to the apparent lack of available financial information, including the Company’s EBITDA and expenses.The Group indicated that alternative liquidity options for shareholders were discussed, yet they felt these options had not been fully explored or evaluated by the Board. The Group also raised concerns over Ionic’s contract with Hut 8, noting that, although it had presented a proposed solution, no alternative path forward was discussed by the Board or management.During the meeting, the Group outlined a proposed plan for refreshment of the Board, specifically suggesting the resignation of three current board members—Scott Duffy, Tom DiFiore, and Emmanuel Aidoo – to be replaced by three new, independent directors with the requisite experience and skill sets. The proposal, supported by a detailed presentation, emphasized the need for strategic and experienced leadership to better align the company’s actions with shareholder interests.Shareholders are encouraged to review the proposal and consider supporting a special meeting to vote on board changes.About Figure MarketsFigure Markets is democratizing finance through blockchain.
