The Tokenomics Foundation builds neutral, vendor independent practice for the full economics of AI: how energy and capital become AI capacity, how that capacity gets consumed efficiently, and how the output turns into value.
Working group participation requires Tokenomics Foundation membership. If your company is not a member yet, request membership details.
Turning energy and capital into AI capacity.
Working group
The supply side. Energy, capital resources, and the economics of building and running token production capacity. How capacity gets planned, costed, and brought online.
Using that capacity well, and knowing what it costs.
Working group
Model selection, prompt routing, caching, and cost to serve: the whole bill of materials for an AI workload, expressed at cost per call rather than cost per token.
What the output is worth, and to whom.
Working group
How AI spend shows up in the books, and how the return gets stated. Deflection rate, cost per event, and a defensible labor baseline that a CFO will accept.
Substrate layers, shared by all three domains
The vocabulary problem first. What tokenomics is, who practices it, and what a token actually is once you separate input, output, reasoning, and cache. Everything in the three domains above depends on this group landing it.
FOCUS task forces meet weekly and carry the billing data specification work that makes the cost picture comparable across providers. Separate cadence, separate charter, and the place to go if your interest is the data format itself.
Tell us what you are working on and we will point you at the right one. Participation is open to member organizations, so if you are not a member yet, that is the first step.
