Mawari Builds Multi-Layer Security With Hacken

4 min read

Japan-based Mawari Network is working with Hacken as a comprehensive security partner across multiple layers of its decentralized infrastructure. The collaboration reflects Hacken’s continued engagement with the Japanese digital ecosystem.

Our latest client, Mawari Network is building the world’s first Immersive Compute Network — a decentralized infrastructure that orchestrates rendering, AI inference, and storage across edge and cloud to deliver AI-powered immersive experiences at ultra-low latency.

As the network scales its on-chain coordination mechanisms and global node infrastructure, Mawari partnered with Hacken as a comprehensive security and assurance provider.

Through a combination of smart contract audits, continuous threat monitoring with Extractor, and DualDefense crowdsourced security reviews, Hacken supports Mawari’s security, observability, and operational readiness across multiple layers of its decentralized infrastructure.


About Mawari Network

Positioned as the Immersive Compute Network, Mawari powers real-time streaming of AI-powered immersive content at ultra-low latency on a global scale. The network enables highly interactive, context-aware digital experiences by orchestrating compute, storage, and bandwidth resources close to end users—bridging physical and digital worlds in real time.

Operating at the intersection of immersive media, AI, and Web3 infrastructure, Mawari is building a decentralized network built on patented 3D streaming technology, where rewards, licensing, and governance are managed fully on-chain.

The Challenge

Mawari’s network is designed to support real-time, AI-powered immersive experiences, where performance, correctness, and availability are tightly interconnected. In this environment, smart contracts act as core control logic, coordinating incentives, licensing, governance, and node participation across a globally distributed infrastructure.

Because smart contracts execute immutably and autonomously, any unintended behavior, vulnerability, or misconfiguration can directly impact network incentives, governance decisions, and operational stability. In an industry where over $512 million was lost to smart contract vulnerabilities in 2025, the correctness and resilience of on-chain logic are critical, particularly for decentralized infrastructures operating at scale.

The challenge is amplified by Mawari’s architecture, where:

  • The Mawari Engine dynamically orchestrates compute, storage, and bandwidth across distributed nodes.
  • Reward distribution and licensing must operate predictably under real-time conditions.
  • Continuous visibility into token flows and reward-related contract behavior is required to ensure incentives operate as intended.
  • Real-time detection of privileged administrative and governance actions is critical.
  • Additional post-audit assurance is needed to confirm that smart contracts contain no hidden or previously undetected vulnerabilities

As Mawari continued to develop its architecture, the security surface area grew alongside development velocity. Working with Hacken, Mawari adopted an approach to continuous monitoring that could scale with development and minimize operational overhead.

The Solution: A Multi-Layer Security Engagement With Hacken

Smart Contract Audits

In December 2025, Hacken conducted multiple smart contract audits for Mawari, covering vesting contracts, on-chain licensing, and guardian staking mechanisms. These audits strengthened the security of Mawari’s token distribution, licensing, and staking logic, establishing a robust foundation for production deployment. As the protocol continues to evolve, additional contracts are undergoing audit to extend this security coverage.

Continuous Monitoring With Extractor by Hacken

To maintain visibility beyond audits, Mawari integrated Extractor by Hacken as its real-time monitoring layer. Extractor provides continuous monitoring of on-chain fund flows, detection of privileged administrative and governance actions. When it detects anything suspicious (i.e, configuration changes, abnormal mints, and other integrity-impacting events), it automatically pushes notifications routed to Mawari’s internal response channels. This enables real-time awareness and faster response as the network evolves and scales.

DualDefense: Community-Powered Security Validation

In addition to audits and monitoring, Mawari further strengthened its security posture through DualDefense on HackenProof, combining a traditional Hacken audit with a crowdsourced review by independent security researchers. By engaging the broader security community, DualDefense helps surface critical vulnerabilities before they can impact users, reinforcing Mawari’s commitment to proactive risk management.

Our Shared Commitment to Cybersecurity

Mawari as a Co-Sponsor at the Hacken Trust Summit

Mawari’s collaboration with Hacken extends beyond technical security. Mawari Network was a co-sponsor of the Hacken Trust Summit 2025, held at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York. This participation reflects Mawari’s commitment to security, trust, and responsible infrastructure development within the decentralized economy.

At the summit, Luis Oscar Ramirez, CEO and Co-Founder of Mawari, participated in the AI Security at the Frontier panel, sharing perspectives on securing AI-powered and immersive infrastructure — reinforcing Mawari’s position as a builder focused not only on performance, but also on trust and resilience.


The Hacken Approach Securing Mawari

Rather than allocating internal resources to complex configuration during active development, Mawari worked with Hacken to establish a production-ready cybersecurity foundation through smart contract audits, post-audit DualDefense coverage on HackenProof, and real-time monitoring with Extractor.

Smart contract audits gave Hacken deep visibility into Mawari’s protocol design and risk profile, enabling a seamless transition from point-in-time assurance to continuous protection. Monitoring could then be aligned with audited logic and real-world behavior, while DualDefense added an additional layer of crowdsourced validation.

As a result, Mawari uses Hacken as a comprehensive security solution, combining assessment, Extractor-based monitoring, and ongoing technical support to ensure long-term observability as the network evolves.  Together, these measures support system integrity, resilience, and trust as Mawari advances real-time, AI-powered immersive experiences.
