Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced it will tokenize and monetize Available Infrastructure's Project Qestrel, a nationwide network of cybersecure edge data centers deploying across the United States. The company will use its Information Data Exchange(R) platform and patented tokenization technology for the initiative. The companies expect the Project Qestrel token ($QEST) program to represent more than $1 billion in tokenized value upon full deployment, providing access and usage rights across the edge AI infrastructure network while supporting secondary market trading. Initial token offerings are targeted for the third quarter of 2026.
Project Qestrel is expected to deploy 1,000 cybersecure edge data centers across 100 U.S. cities and more than 30 states as part of an approximately $5 billion buildout. Datavault AI said the initiative expands its existing relationship with Available Infrastructure and will generate revenue through an equal-sharing arrangement, with Datavault AI providing tokenization, clearing, valuation and exchange services. The companies believe the program represents the industry's first large-scale tokenization of a live-deploying nationwide edge AI infrastructure network, creating a new digital asset class tied to AI compute capacity.
This move signals a significant shift in how large-scale infrastructure projects can be financed and accessed. By tokenizing the infrastructure, Datavault AI is enabling fractional ownership and trading of rights to AI compute capacity, which could democratize access to high-performance computing resources. The tokenization model allows investors and users to gain exposure to the growing demand for edge AI without needing to invest in physical infrastructure directly. As more industries rely on real-time data processing and AI at the edge, such tokenized assets could become a new investment vehicle.
Datavault AI is leading the way in AI-driven data experiences, valuation and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment. The company's cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions with a collaborative focus in its Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences divisions. The Data Science division leverages the power of Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization. The Information Data Exchange(R) enables Digital Twins and the licensing of name, image and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata, fostering responsible AI with integrity.
