Datavault AI has announced an agreement with Sports Illustrated to explore a potential collaboration on a digital asset exchange focused on athlete name, image, and likeness monetization. The initiative aims to develop a platform powered by Datavault AI’s proprietary, quantum-secure technology stack, including its patented Data Vault, DataScore, and DataValue AI agents, smart contracts, and the Nasdaq Financial Framework-compatible Information Data Exchange. The goal is a potential commercial launch in the second half of 2026.
