Every agent needs a wallet. Every wallet settles in tokens. Build

Token economy in the AI era. Every AI product runs on tokens. Every token has a price. The teams that master the economics ship the agents that actually scale.

Building a demo is easy. Running it in production without going broke is the actual work. Tokens are the P&L - compute is the market, models are the suppliers, & the enterprise buyer is asking one question: is this worth what it costs?

Snowflake sits at the exact intersection: the world's data cloud + Cortex Agents + inference next to your data. Agent workflows next to the tables you already have. Token spend visible in the same warehouse you already use for BI.

This weekend we build the economy behind agent intelligence.
