Newton Protocol is the verifiable automation layer for onchain finance that lets users delegate complex, cross-chain actions to AI agents while retaining cryptographic guarantees that each step respects user guardrails. It combines ERC-4337/EIP-7702 smart accounts for granular delegation, trusted-execution-environment (TEE) attestations, and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to prove correctness of every off-chain decision. The goal is to turn automation itself into a trust-minimized primitive and unlock agentic finance across multiple blockchains.
NEWT is the native utility token and is used for:
*Fees to operators and validators for executing and verifying automation tasks.
*Staking for delegated proof of stake consensus and the agent automation registry.
*Governance votes that shape the protocol.
How Many NEWT Coins Are There in Circulation?
There are 1 billion NEWT tokens created at genesis with no inflationary mechanisms. Full tokenomic disclosures can be found at newt.foundation.
Who Are the Founders of Newton Protocol?
Newton Protocol is the vision of Magic Labs and its founders Sean Li and Jaemin Jin. Magic Labs created the first embedded wallet in the crypto industry helping 200K+ developers create 50M+ wallets to get on-chain with trailblazing customers such as Polymarket, Helium, WalletConnect, Forbes, and Naver. The Magic Newton Foundation is responsible for driving adoption, enabling open development and supporting decentralization of the Newton Protocol. Management of the Magic Newton Foundation is led by an independent board of directors. For more information, please see the transparency report published on newt.foundation.
What Makes Newton Protocol Unique?
While many protocols offer agent automation, such automation is often unsecured and without verification. Newton Protocol is purpose-built to authenticate, authorize, and verify every agent-driven transaction, serving as the trust layer critical for enabling autonomous onchain financial transactions. At its core, Newton Protocol features a keystore rollup: a multi-chain validity rollup optimized for storing cross-chain session keys. Powered by a zkVM proving layer, TEEs, and ZKPs, it guarantees full control over assets, whether interacting with AI agents, dapps, or other users.
