Tokenomics, for the uninitiated, is a practice designed to analyse the economic design, supply and distribution mechanisms governing an AI agent\u2019s utility token use and wider ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following last week\u2019s announcement of the intent to launch the Tokenomics Foundation, the Linux Foundation has now unveiled <\/span>Tokenomicon<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tricky to say out loud (it doesn\u2019t rhyme with much apart from <\/span>Necronomicon<\/span>), Tokenomicon evolves from what has the stand-alone FinOps X conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

When is Tokenomicon?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The event will take place in San Diego,June 7-10, 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside the San Diego flagship, the Tokenomics community will gather at regional events, including: <\/span>Amsterdam, September 22-23, 2026<\/span>, and London, February 8-9,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference arrives as tokens become the new unit of technology spend. As enterprises move generative and agentic AI workloads from pilot to production, AI has become one of the largest and fastest-growing lines on the enterprise technology budget, yet the discipline to measure and govern that spend has not kept pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs research projects global token usage will multiply roughly 24 times between 2026 and 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tokenomicon is built to close the gap, giving technology practitioners a neutral, community venue to compare cost and efficiency across models and providers and to turn AI spend into measurable business value.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNaming the AI cost problem was the easy part. Tokenomicon is where the people actually solving it get in a room together. Practitioners, the companies buying AI at scale, the providers selling it, all working from the same facts. That is how a discipline gets built, and it is how the industry turns token spend into real business value,\u201d said J.R. Storment, executive director of the FinOps Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Linux Foundation also announced general availability of FOCUS v1.4, the open specification that normalizes billing data across cloud, SaaS, data center, and other technology vendors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
