The Linux Foundation's flagship open source event in India. AI Tokenomics, Digital Public Infrastructure, decentralized trust, and the India Stack — where sovereign tech meets open standards.

Open Source Summit India 2026

Open Source Summit India 2026 opened with a focus on India's digital public infrastructure — and the Linux Foundation projects making it happen.

## AI Tokenomics Foundation

A new Linux Foundation project tackling the economics of AI. Building reference implementations and layers for two audiences: Practitioner Minds (buyers/consumers) and Supplier Minds (builders/providers).

This matters because token pricing is the unsolved problem of the AI economy. How do you price a token? How do you make token economics transparent? The foundation is building the standards.

## OCUDU — Global Open Source RAN Ecosystem

The National Spectrum Consortium is backing OCUDU, an open source Radio Access Network foundation. India is leading the development with a philosophy of "Minimum Development, Maximum Upstream Dependence" — leveraging O-RAN-SC, ONAP, Nephio, and CNCF.

LF interns and local open-source community are driving glue code, automation scripts, and test frameworks. This is how India builds telecom infrastructure without vendor lock-in.

## LF Decentralized Trust

Hyperledger Fabric is powering India's digital public infrastructure across multiple government agencies:
- **RBI** — Central bank blockchain initiatives
- **MeitY** — Ministry of Electronics and IT
- **CBSE** — Education board records
- **Supply Chain** — Government procurement

The India Stack (UPI, Aadhaar, DigiLocker) is going open source. The implications for AI agent identity and verification are massive — if every citizen has a verifiable digital identity, every agent acting on their behalf can inherit that trust chain.
