Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) announced plans to tokenize and monetize Available Infrastructure’s Project Qestrel, a nationwide network of cybersecure edge data centers, using its Information Data Exchange platform and patented tokenization technology. 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.
The tokenization of physical infrastructure marks a significant step in bridging traditional asset classes with digital finance. By converting rights to AI compute capacity into tokens, Datavault AI aims to provide liquidity and broader access to what is typically a capital-intensive sector. The move could set a precedent for how large-scale technology infrastructure projects are financed and traded.
Datavault AI’s platform leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing to provide solutions for experiential data perception, valuation and secure monetization. The Information Data Exchange enables Digital Twins and the licensing of name, image and likeness by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata. The company’s technology suite is fully customizable and offers AI- and machine-learning-based automation, third-party integration, detailed analytics and data, marketing automation and advertising monitoring.
