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 company will use its Information Data Exchange 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 announcement is significant because it marks a major step in the convergence of physical infrastructure and digital assets. By tokenizing edge data centers, Datavault AI is enabling investors to gain exposure to AI compute capacity through a liquid digital token. The $1 billion tokenized value underscores the scale of the project and its potential to reshape how infrastructure assets are financed and traded. For the broader industry, this could pave the way for similar tokenization of other large-scale infrastructure projects, democratizing access to investments that were previously available only to institutional players.
