Open Token & Digital Public Goods
Examining how agentic open-source foundations can function as global public infrastructure through value-driven projects and sustainable funding models.
Key Topics
Open Token as public utility: metering, pricing, and settlement for AI compute
Strategic pairing: AI Factories (production) + Claw Stack (execution)
From open-source code → governing autonomous systems
Funding models for sustainable open-source AI
Community-driven AI development in the agentic era
Open standards and interoperability for agent ecosystems
AI compute as public good: accessibility, sustainability, growth
Panel 4 · At a glance
Visual summary of Open Token & Digital Public Goods: Foundations & Sustainability.
What the discussion produced
Tokens are infrastructure. Three pillars of resourcing: cash + in-kind compute + human capacity. The DPGA's nine indicators — and how few AI systems meet them. The four-point Paris Initiative on Open Token.
Recommendations
Concrete actions surfaced by the panel — distributable as a standalone card.
Foundations for an Agentic Commons
The future of AI infrastructure rests on AI Factories for production and the Claw Stack for execution. Open Token provides the metering and settlement mechanism — not cryptocurrency, but a public utility for AI compute, analogous to how kilowatt-hours measure electricity.
