In the first week of 2025, the AI Agent track continues to soar, with the market capitalizations of the two major ecosystems ai16z and Virtual exceeding $2 billion and $5 billion respectively, setting historical highs.

AI innovation continues to emerge. Just when people thought the 'factional struggle' of AI Agent infrastructure was settled and all AI agents needed to 'dock' in these two major ecosystems, a dark horse – Swarms, emerged. In the past week, Swarms token surged over 768%, with a peak market capitalization reaching $440 million; currently, Swarms has over 2,800 stars on GitHub.

Swarms is a multi-agent collaboration framework, centered around providing the core component of a 'framework' along with long-term memory, task decomposition, and other functions, helping multiple AI agents to collaborate seamlessly within the same network to decompose and handle complex tasks. Currently, Swarms is also vigorously promoting the development of ecological projects, and as the multi-agent collaborative ecosystem enriches, the still nascent Swarms ecosystem may harbor Alpha opportunities. Odaily Planet Daily will briefly introduce the Swarms ecological projects and the progress of Swarms itself.

Introduction to ecological projects

MCS

Market capitalization: $25 million

Number of holding addresses: 3889

Token Contract: ALHFgnXSenUv17GMdf3dL9gtFW2KKQTz9avpM2Wypump

mcs was created by Kye Gomez, the founder of Swarms, and has linked the official mcs Twitter account in his profile, gaining official endorsement. mcs is a production-level multi-agent system built on Swarms for medical diagnosis and coding, allowing users to diagnose and analyze healthcare-related issues for free through conversations with mcs. According to data disclosed by Kye Gomez, mcs's daily active users exceeded 6,000 in the past two days, and its API is about to go into production for one of the largest medical suppliers in the United States.

SPORES

Market capitalization: $9.4 million

Holding address: 5347

Token Contract: H1koD28XAHg2vuGp7XggehBCR4zP6r6k6EQ3MR6j3kU2

Spores is the token issued by Autonomous Spores, which has transferred 10% of the tokens to the Swarms DAO. Autonomous Spores plans to develop four AI agents based on the Swarms framework:

  • The first agent is Saya, an AI agent fund manager built on Swarms Intelligence, which will manage a series of AI agent risk funds, refining its decision-making ability through a large amount of trading data in the trading system, with the first fund about to be launched;

  • The second agent is Oozeborn, inspired by Clanker on Base, which simplifies the process for users to launch tokens and create AI agents on Twitter by commenting or tagging #Oozeborn in posts;

  • The third agent is Grassian, a data analysis AI agent built on the Swarms algorithm, primarily focused on identifying early Alpha bloggers on Twitter and scoring these individuals to provide insights into the ecosystem. Grassian is also an important source of information for Saya's trading decisions.

  • The fourth agent is Jaguarundi, a risk assessment AI agent that assesses risks in the trading system, providing safety for Saya while also running an insurance fund aimed at mitigating overall trading system losses.

Autonomous Spores leverages the collective intelligence of AI agents through the collaboration of these four AI agents. Currently, Autonomous Spores plans to share a portion of the management fees generated by Saya and the transaction taxes generated by Oozeborn with the community. However, Grassian and Jaguarundi have not yet been launched.

CREATE

Market capitalization: $8.8 million

Number of holding addresses: 4528

Token Contract: 92crE7qiX5T7VtiXhCeagfo1E81UtyguiXM7qCi7pump

create claims to be the ultimate creative engine, essentially an AI platform built on Swarms that generates images or audio based on text prompts.

IFSCI

Market capitalization: $3.5 million

Holding address: 1177

Token Contract: RqGHXg2eh3zPjyzNM7kUyrrSmhb9M9q4mCKFH1mpump

IFSCI claims to be the first vertical AI x DeSci Agent project built using Swarms, aiming to help users personalize their fasting and dietary plans. Users can participate in AI as food data contributors, health indicator providers, or researchers. As data providers, users only need to post their meal photos and corresponding descriptions on the X platform and tag @adesciagent, and they will also receive rewards based on their contributions.

According to the roadmap published by the official, IFSCI will launch a fully functional application in Q3 2025 and expand scientific research globally.

Progress in Swarms ecological construction

The currently prosperous AI Agent framework project resembles the booming period of early Ethereum L2. Although the technologies and models vary, the most intuitive way for users to judge the pros and cons is to look at the ecological prosperity. As a multi-agent collaboration framework, Swarms, to some extent, needs a thriving agent ecosystem to 'validate' its own value. Compared to ecosystems like ai16z and Virtuals, Swarms may have started later, but it is currently making efforts to build its ecosystem.

Today, Swarms' official Twitter account posted on the X platform seeking ecological project cooperation, offering support such as technology, marketing, and agent infrastructure, while allocating 10 million Swarms tokens (worth $3.38 million) as an ecological fund. Swarms founder Kye Gomez also stated he will 'personally meet and support all our partner projects, providing technical assistance, marketing guidance, and more.'

Kye Gomez also announced today that the swarms Marketplace will soon launch new features, including:

  • Automatic generation and uploading: Seamlessly create agents, tools, and groups, then upload them directly to the market;

  • Paid wall integration: Monetize by listing agents at a certain price, allowing others to purchase the developer's creations;

  • Swarms token integration: Use Phantom to buy and sell agents with Swarms tokens, simplifying transactions;

  • Swarms Auto-Cloud: Launch the Swarm API in the cloud with just one prompt;

  • Agent quality rewards: Publish high-quality agents to earn Swarms tokens, evaluated using advanced frameworks;

  • Real-time chat and API: Provide real-time interaction and API functions for each agent, group, tool, and prompt;

  • Usage tracking: Monitor real-time usage of agents with detailed tracking tools.

While there are still controversies regarding the originality of Swarms, unwavering construction is the best response to disputes. Earlier, ai16z was also accused of being a token conspiracy group, but today's market capitalization has proven its value is recognized by the market. 'Either continue to take off or decline from now on,' whether Swarms can 'wrestle' with ai16z in ecological construction still needs time to test.
