In the first week of 2025, the AI Agent track continues to soar, with the market capitalizations of the two ecosystems ai16z and Virtual tokens breaking through 2 billion USD and 5 billion USD respectively, setting historical highs.
AI innovations continue to emerge. When people thought that 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 broke through. In the past week, Swarms tokens surged over 768%, with the market capitalization reaching a peak of 440 million USD; currently, Swarms has over 2800 stars on GitHub.
Swarms is a multi-agent collaborative framework, centered on providing the core component of 'framework' and features like long-term memory and task decomposition, helping multiple AI agents seamlessly collaborate in the same network to decompose and handle complex tasks. Currently, Swarms is also actively promoting the development of ecological projects. As the multi-agent collaborative ecosystem enriches, the still-early Swarms ecosystem may hold 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 USD
Number of holding addresses: 3889
Token contract: ALHFgnXSenUv17GMdf3dL9gtFW2KKQTz9avpM2Wypump
mcs was created by Swarms founder Kye Gomez, who has also linked the official mcs Twitter account in his profile, providing official endorsement. mcs is a production-level multi-agent system built on Swarms for medical diagnosis and coding, allowing users to diagnose and analyze medical and healthcare-related issues for free by chatting with mcs. According to data disclosed by Kye Gomez, mcs had over 6000 daily active users in the past two days, and its API is about to be deployed for one of the largest healthcare providers in the United States.
SPORES
Market capitalization: 9.4 million USD
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 that have honed their decision-making abilities through a large amount of trading data in the trading system. The first fund is about to be launched;
· The second agent is Oozeborn, which is inspired by Clanker on Base, simplifying 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, which is a data analysis AI agent built on Swarms algorithms. Its main focus is to identify early Alpha bloggers on Twitter and rate these individuals to provide insights into the ecosystem, while Grassian is also an important information source for Saya's trading decisions.
· The fourth agent is Jaguarundi, which is a risk assessment AI agent that evaluates risks in the trading system, provides security for Saya, and also operates an insurance fund aimed at mitigating overall trading system losses.
Autonomous Spores leverage the collective intelligence of AI agents through cooperation among these four AI agents. Currently, Autonomous Spores plans to share part 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 USD
Holding address: 4528
Token contract: 92crE7qiX5T7VtiXhCeagfo1E81UtyguiXM7qCi7pump
create claims to be the ultimate creation engine, but in reality, it is an AI platform based on swarm technology that generates images or audio based on text prompts.
IFSCI
Market capitalization: 3.5 million USD
Holding address: 1177
Token contract: RqGHXg2eh3zPjyzNM7kUyrrSmhb9M9q4mCKFH1mpump
IFSCI claims to be the first vertical AI x DeSci Agent project built using Swarms, aimed at helping users personalize their fasting and dietary plans. Users can participate in AI as food data contributors, health indicator providers, or researchers by posting their meal photos and corresponding descriptions on the X platform and @adesciagent. Users 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 thriving AI Agent framework project is reminiscent of the early booming period of Ethereum L2. Although the technology and models differ, the most intuitive way for users to judge the quality is to look at the ecological prosperity. As a multi-agent collaborative framework, Swarms somewhat needs a prosperous agent ecosystem to 'validate' its own value. Compared to ecosystems like ai16z and Virtuals, Swarms started later but is currently making efforts in ecosystem construction.
Today, Swarms' official Twitter account posted a recruitment for ecological project collaboration on the X platform, offering support such as technology, marketing, and agency infrastructure, while also putting forth 10 million swarms tokens (worth 3.38 million USD) as an ecological fund. Swarms founder Kye Gomez also stated that he will 'personally meet and support all our partner projects, providing technical assistance, marketing guidance, etc.'
Kye Gomez also announced today that the swarms Marketplace is about to launch new features, including:
· Auto generation and upload: Seamlessly create agents, tools, and groups, then upload them directly to the market;
· Paid wall integration: Monetize agents by listing them at a certain price, allowing others to purchase developers' 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: High-quality agents can earn swarms tokens for publication, evaluated using advanced frameworks;
· Real-time chat and API: Provide real-time interaction and API functionality for each agent, group, tool, and prompt;
· Usage tracking: Use detailed tracking tools to monitor real-time usage of agents.
Although there are still controversies regarding the originality of Swarms, steadfast construction is the best response to the controversy. ai16z was also accused of being a token conspiracy group in its early days, but its current market capitalization has proven that its value has been recognized by the market. 'Either continue to take off or fall from grace', whether Swarms can 'wrestle' with ai16z in ecological construction still needs time to test.
