Datavault AI to Tokenize $1 Billion Project Qestrel Edge AI Infrastructure Program

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 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 announcement is significant for Texas and the broader U.S. economy as it represents a major investment in edge AI infrastructure, which is critical for enabling low-latency AI applications across industries such as healthcare, energy, fintech, and more. The tokenization of physical infrastructure could democratize access to AI compute resources, allowing smaller businesses and investors to participate in the AI revolution. For Texas, where Datavault AI is not headquartered but where many edge data centers are likely to be deployed given the state’s business-friendly environment, this could spur job creation and technological advancement.

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.

The tokenization of Project Qestrel could set a precedent for how large-scale infrastructure projects are funded and accessed, potentially transforming the investment landscape for AI and edge computing. By creating a token tied to actual compute capacity, Datavault AI is enabling a new asset class that could attract a broader range of investors, from institutional to retail. For the industry, this move could accelerate the deployment of edge AI infrastructure, which is essential for real-time AI applications like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and industrial IoT.
