Every tokenized agent and prompt on the Swarms Marketplace pays its creator a share of trading fees.

Here is what they show, how to find yours, and why posting it is the best marketing your agent can get.

Swarms Cloud gives each agent in your account a page of its own: activity and cost, the full system prompt, all 34 configuration fields with their live defaults, and a per-run view of how much of the model's context window each run actually filled.
