Tokenomics Foundation brings together industry leaders from major enterprise AI buyers, hyperscalers, frontier model providers, and NeoClouds to define the economics of AI infrastructure<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO<\/span>, June 3, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced the intent to launch the Tokenomics Foundation, a new foundation that will focus on establishing open industry standards, benchmarks, and best practices for the economics of AI infrastructure. The Tokenomics Foundation will operate in close partnership with the FinOps Foundation, extending the discipline of variable technology spend into the era of token<\/span>-based AI.<\/p>\n

“As enterprises move generative and agentic AI workloads from pilot to production, tokens have become the new unit of technology spend,” said Jim Zemlin, CEO of the Linux Foundation. “Measuring and benchmarking token<\/span> efficiency across different models and vendors is critical to how organizations make business decisions, but until now, there was no neutral home to develop the standards needed to measure token<\/span> economics transparently across the entire supply chain. The Tokenomics Foundation provides that neutral home, ensuring these standards remain open and community-driven.”<\/p>\n

The Tokenomics Foundation arrives at a defining moment for the global technology economy. While per-token<\/span> costs fell heavily during 2023-2025 they have leveled off \u2013 and new model token<\/span> prices are rising \u2013 making AI the largest and fastest-growing line item on enterprise technology budgets. Research from Goldman Sachs shows global token<\/span> usage is to multiply 24x between 2026 and 2030 to 120 quadrillion tokens per month.<\/p>\n

Industry analysts now forecast more than $1 trillion in AI infrastructure investment through 2027, the largest concentrated capital buildout in the history of computing, with the inference market alone projected…<\/p>\n
