Swarms API Documentation - Build AI Agents & Multi-Agent Systems

The Swarms Marketplace supports multiple business models for publishing agents and prompts. Every listing picks its model at launch time on swarms.world/launch, from simple one-time purchases in fiat or crypto, to fully tokenized products with tradeable tokens, boosted fees, and holder-gated access.

Choosing a model

The models in depth

Free

Open access for every visitor. No fees for creators or users. The fastest way to build reputation, reviews, and reach on the marketplace, and the required pricing for Vault Mode listings, since the token itself is the gate.

Crypto Paid (SOL)

A fixed USD price paid in SOL. Buyers connect a Phantom wallet and pay in one transaction; the seller’s share (90%) lands directly in their Solana wallet and the platform retains a 10% commission. Requires a Solana wallet address on the listing.

Fiat Paid (Stripe)

The same fixed-price model, powered by Stripe. Buyers in 100+ countries check out with cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay, crypto, and more, in 100+ currencies, with no wallet required. Sellers onboard once via the Seller tab and receive automatic bank payouts of 90% per sale; the platform fee is the same 10% as crypto. See the Fiat Payments Overview.

Tokenization

Instead of a fixed price, the product launches its own token on a bonding curve (SOL- or USDC-denominated) for a one-time 0.04 SOL mint fee. Anyone can trade the token; the creator earns trading fees on every buy and sell, claimable from the Creator Fees dashboard. Tokenization can also be combined with paid pricing: the product carries a token and a USD access price. See Tokenization.

Frenzy Tokens

A tokenization upgrade: the token launches on a 2× fee configuration, doubling the bonding curve fees collected on every trade, and earns a spot on the high-visibility Frenzy leaderboard with an animated FRENZY badge. Launch cost is unchanged (0.04 SOL). See Frenzy Mode.

Vault Mode

Token-gated distribution: the full listing (system prompt, code, metadata) is blurred for anyone who doesn’t hold the product’s token, with a built-in Buy $TICKER widget to unlock it. Any non-zero balance unlocks the page; the creator always has access. Requires tokenization, and pricing stays Free; the token is the price. See Vault Mode.

Combining models

Some models stack; others are exclusive:

Combination	Supported?	Notes
Paid + choice of Crypto or Fiat	✅	Every paid listing picks exactly one payment rail
Paid + Tokenization	✅	USD access price and a tradeable token
Tokenization + Frenzy	✅	Frenzy is a launch-time fee upgrade
Tokenization + Vault Mode	✅	Vault requires a token to gate with
Frenzy + Vault Mode	✅	Who can access (Vault) × how much trades earn (Frenzy)
Paid + Vault Mode	❌	Vault already gates access via holdings; pricing must be Free
Fiat + Tokenization	❌	Tokenized payouts are on-chain; paid+tokenized uses the crypto rail
