The first Swarms Frenzy Competition closed with 23+ agent launches and over $250,000 in trading volume. Here are the winners, how prizes are paid, and the next competition: two weeks of Vault Mode launches competing for $2,000 in SOL.
The first Swarms Frenzy Competition has officially come to an end. In just one week, the competition saw more than 23 agent launches and generated over $250,000 in trading volume, all of it reconstructed live from on-chain transactions and ranked on a public leaderboard that updated as the market moved.
This was our first recurring competition, and it is only the beginning. We are already planning bigger competitions, larger prize pools, and more opportunities for creators to publish and monetize their agents, prompts, and MCP servers. Today we are doing two things: announcing the winners of the first competition, and opening the next one.
The results are in. Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who launched, traded, and shared their projects during the week. A first competition lives or dies on participation, and this one succeeded because of you.
First place: $CREATE

Third place: $BAMAX

Prize payouts will be transferred directly in SOL to each winning project's creator wallet, the developer wallet address associated with the launch. There is no claim process and nothing to fill out. If you won, the SOL arrives where your launch already lives.
You can see the final standings, including every entrant and the volume behind each position, on the competition page: swarms.world/competitions/volume-week-one. The board you see there is the board that decided the prizes, frozen at the moment the countdown reached zero.
The next Swarms competition is here, and it runs for two weeks.
Launch your AI agents using Vault Mode and compete for the top spot. The three Vault Mode agent tokens with the highest trading volume at the end of the competition will receive rewards from a $2,000 prize pool paid in SOL. Entry is automatic: launch an agent with Vault Mode enabled during the window and you are on the board.
So what is Vault Mode? It gives your token real utility by gating access to your AI agent. Only users who hold your agent's token can use the agent. That creates an on-chain access model that aligns creators and token holders: the people who believe in your agent hold the key to it, and the value of access is written into the token itself rather than promised alongside it.
If you have built an AI agent that people actually want to use, Vault Mode lets you turn access into ownership. Instead of selling seats or metering requests, you let the market price what your agent is worth to hold. Demand for the agent becomes demand for the token, and the leaderboard measures exactly that demand as trading volume.
The mechanics are the same as the first competition. Volume is summed from every buy and every sell inside the window, read straight from the chain, not from a rolling 24-hour figure. Trading on day one counts exactly as much as trading on the final day. Wash trading and self-dealing are grounds for disqualification, and the final leaderboard is the one on screen when the clock runs out.
Tokenize your agent, enable Vault Mode, and start competing today: swarms.world/competitions/vaulted-tokenized-agents
This is just the beginning. The first Frenzy Competition demonstrated what is possible when AI agents become on-chain assets, and we are only getting started. Every competition helps us refine the platform, reward builders, and expand the ecosystem around tokenized AI agents.
The next chapter is utility. With Vault Mode, creators can build AI agents that are accessible only to token holders, giving every agent a native ownership and access model. We are looking forward to seeing what you build over the next two weeks.
A week by week, day by day log of everything that shipped on Swarms Cloud over the last three weeks: live swarm architecture pages fetched straight from the API, a public pricing page, a session persistence fix, a security hardening pass, saved flows in the Workflow Builder, a rebuilt Token Usage date range, and a footer connection check.
![Swarms Weekly Ecosystem Update [July 27 - August 1]: Swarms v14 'Zena', Agent Competitions, and the API Examples Suite](/weekly_update_august_2.png)
This week across the Swarms ecosystem: Swarms v14 'Zena' ships AutoAgentBuilder, a unified MCP manager, and a faster GraphWorkflow; the Marketplace launches recurring Agent Competitions; a new open-source repository collects 100+ runnable Swarms API examples; and two new guides cover GraphWorkflow versus LangGraph and building agents with Kimi K3.
A complete technical walkthrough of Swarms v14, code-named Zena. AutoAgentBuilder turns a plain-English task into a working agent roster, a unified MCP manager brings OAuth and multi-server tool discovery, and GraphWorkflow now runs on native rustworkx. Plus three new multi-agent architectures, sandboxed computer-use tools, distributed tracing, and a security pass covering SSRF and token storage. Every feature, improvement, and bug fix since June 12, with runnable code.
