Snowflake X Beta Fund Agent & Token Economy Hackathon
- This hackathon focuses on building token economies for AI-driven agents, exploring cost efficiency and product value in the AI era.
- Participants develop demos that demonstrate token-based financial models and scalable AI workflows adjacent to Snowflake's data cloud.
- The event targets developers and builders interested in AI tokens and agent intelligence economics.
About this event
🛑 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, and 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.

Focus Tracks
💰 Track 1 · Cost of Intelligence
Build anything that makes AI cheaper to run. Prompt caching, model routing, batch inference, context compression, spend dashboards. Show a real % cost reduction in the demo.
🏗️ Track 2 · Value of Intelligence
Build an AI product with real willingness-to-pay. Consumer app, prosumer tool, or B2B feature. Show one paying user (or a clear path to $10 ARR per user).
🃏 Wildcard (Open Category)
Anything else in the AI-token economy: agent budgeting, inference amortization, compute marketplaces, chargeback, model brokerage. Bring conviction.
