The company announced a three-party joint venture with Unity Reserve Holdings and Mandela Dlamini & Manaway. The venture forms Mandela Digital, which will develop the Mandela Dollar, also called MUSD. The proposed stablecoin will carry a 1:1 U.S. dollar backing model.
Datavault AI will serve as the founding and exclusive technology partner under the signed agreement. Its platforms will support issuance, redemption, compliance systems, and on-chain transparency. The deal also links Datavault AI’s RWA tokenization tools to a payments-focused stablecoin project.
Mandela Dollar Targets Payments And Financial Access
Mandela Digital aims to support remittances, digital payments, and financial access across the Global South. The project targets users who remain outside formal banking systems. It also builds on growing stablecoin use in cross-border payments.
Unity Reserve structured the venture and brought together MDM LLC and Datavault AI. MDM LLC is linked to members of the Mandela family and supports technology-led social initiatives. The agreement also advances an initiative first introduced in February 2026.
The Mandela Dollar project includes a social impact component tied to protocol revenue. A portion of revenue will support education, skills development, and poverty reduction programs.A governance board will include representation from all three venture partners.
Datavault AI Takes Recurring Technology Role

The company will deploy its patented AI-powered platforms and scalable RWA frameworks for the venture. It will also provide access to SanQtum AI, Available Infrastructure’s zero-trust edge computing platform.
