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

Datavault AI (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.

The tokenization will be powered by Datavault AI’s Information Data Exchange(R) platform and patented tokenization technology. This platform 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 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.

For Texas, the deployment of edge data centers across multiple states, including likely Texas cities, could enhance local AI compute capacity and attract businesses reliant on low-latency processing. The tokenization model may also open new investment opportunities for Texas-based investors and companies looking to participate in AI infrastructure growth. As the program unfolds, Texas could see economic benefits from data center construction and operation jobs, as well as increased demand for high-performance computing services.

Datavault AI is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, and its platform serves multiple industries, including high-performance computing software licensing for sports & entertainment, events & venues, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, energy and more.
