Cryptonian🩺 (Swarms)

Swarms Marketplace is now 70% faster. The improvement brings a more responsive browsing experience, making it easier to explore listings, discover AI agents and navigate the platform. From browsing available products to accessing creator listings, the Marketplace is becoming significantly more efficient. Speed matters when navigating an ecosystem with thousands of products and growing activity. With this improvement, Swarms continues to strengthen the performance and usability of its Marketplace. A faster experience. Smoother discovery. A better Marketplace.

Swarms Skills brings Marketplace capabilities directly into the AI development environments developers already use. Through dedicated MCP and API skills, compatible agents can discover marketplace listings, retrieve product information, examine pricing, publish products and manage existing listings. The integration supports environments including Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop. By making these capabilities accessible within existing development workflows, Swarms Skills reduces the friction between discovering, accessing and deploying resources from the Marketplace. It brings the Swarms Marketplace closer to where developers build and work.

Swarms Launchpad now gives creators the option to launch their tokenized agents and prompts using $SWARMS as the quote token. With the integration of Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC), creators can choose between SOL, USDC and $SWARMS when establishing their token's liquidity pair. Choosing $SWARMS means the newly launched token trades against $SWARMS, while creator trading fees are also earned in $SWARMS. The update also brings approximately 80% faster launches through direct integration with Meteora DBC. Beyond the initial launch, creators retain an earning opportunity after graduation, with liquidity moving into Meteora DAMM v2. This expands the utility of $SWARMS within the launchpad while giving creators another way to participate in the token economy.

Upgrading to Swarms v17 requires more than changing the framework version. Several existing parameters, methods and workflows must be adjusted to remain compatible. The migration removes over 40 legacy parameters, methods, modules and classes, replacing them with updated alternatives. For example, "SwarmRearrange" is replaced by "AgentRearrange", "bulk_run" by "run_batched()", and agent system prompts are no longer supplied automatically. Workflow autosaving is also disabled by default, while failed swarm executions now raise exceptions instead of returning error strings. The migration guide provides replacement methods, updated configurations and an upgrade checklist to help developers transition smoothly. Understanding these changes is essential to maintaining compatibility with Swarms v17.

Tipping on Swarms Marketplace introduces an additional earning channel for creators who make their resources freely available. Unlike paid listings, creators can receive direct financial support without placing their agents, prompts or tools behind a paywall. The payment structure allocates 90% of every tip to the publisher, with the remaining 10% retained by the platform. Card payments are processed through Stripe, while cryptocurrency tips are settled directly through Solana transactions using USDC or SOL. This creates room for creators to maintain free access to useful resources while still having a direct financial incentive for the value they contribute. Free distribution and creator earnings can therefore coexist within the same marketplace.

The Swarms Marketplace Screener brings the entire tokenized agent ecosystem into one view. Track trending agent and prompt tokens, monitor market caps, price movements and 24-hour trading volume, all backed by on-chain data. The Latest Launches feed makes new tokenized products visible as they enter the marketplace, with updates arriving in near real-time. Users can also filter listings by All Tokens, Frenzy Mode, Vault Mode or Frenzy + Vault to explore different launch categories. From market activity and token discovery to emerging launches, the Screener provides a unified view of what's happening across the Swarms ecosystem.
