Newton Protocol (NEWT) | The 24th Project On Binance HODLer Airdrop
its a new day and new opportunity for Binance users Binance has officially launched Newton protocol ( $NEWT ) as the 24th project in its BNB HODLer Airdrops. Users who subscribed their BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible and/or Locked) and/or On-Chain Yields products got the Airdrop for free.
As NEWT is now live on Binance, Lets explore the project and see what its all about. We will also discuss how you can participate in future Hodler Airdrops.
What is Newton Protocol?
Newton Protocol powers a new economy where users can discover, select, and delegate onchain actions to agents through an automation marketplace. These agents, built by Magic or third-party developers, securely automate financial activity across multiple blockchains. Similar to how Farcaster users interact with the protocol through Warpcast.
Newton is paired with a client interface where users can browse available agents, interact through intuitive UIs and natural language prompts, and manage their assets seamlessly across apps, protocols, and chains, much like engaging with an OpenAI operator, but for onchain finance.
Core Principles of Newton Protocol
Newton Protocol enforces trust through verifiable automation, grounded in three core principles:
Scoped Autonomy: Users define the boundaries of agent behavior with zkPermissions, encoding expressive rules that are enforced by design.Verifiable Integrity: Agents generate cryptographic proofs to prove every action faithfully aligns with the user’s declared intent and constraints.Earned Reputation: Agents build reputation through proven performance, while economic penalties deter misaligned behavior and protect user interests.
Newt Usecases
The NEWT token is the native utility token of the Newton Protocol and serves four core functions within the ecosystem:
Staking for Protocol SecurityNEWT staking will be available to enable network participants to contribute to the security and uptime of the Newton Keystore rollup. Holders will be able to delegate their NEWT tokens via proof-of-stake (dPoS) consensus to help secure the network and earn staking rewards in exchange.
The current APY on NEWT is 8.5%
Token for Gas / Fees
NEWT will be the native gas token of the Newton Protocol. NEWT is also required to issue, update, or revoke onchain permissions for a given account (e.g., when delegated to an autonomous agent). It is intended that the Protocol will implement a fee market similar to EIP-1559 to determine transaction ordering within each block.
Token for Newton Model Registry
As part of the Newton Protocol, agent developers will be able to register the agent models via the Newton Model Registry. Agent operators provide NEWT tokens as collateral for their automated services utilizing the registered agent models running on the Newton Protocol. In exchange for posting this collateral, they will earn fees from the usage of their services—a portion of which is shared with the agent developers—paid in NEWT tokens.
Governance
The Newton Protocol and its ecosystem will decentralize over time, including establishing a DAO and enabling the community to act and decide on the deployment of ecosystem funds, fees, and project priorities. Once the Newton Protocol has sufficiently developed, users who stake their NEWT will be entitled to vote in the governance process to help guide the growth and development of the Newton Protocol.
Newt Token Utility
NEWT is a multifunctional utility token used throughout the Newton Protocol for the following purposes:
1. Staking for Protocol Security
Newt staking enables participants to help secure the Newton Keystore rollup via delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS). Token holders can delegate their newt validators and earn staking rewards in return.
2. Transaction Fees and Permission Management
Newt is the native gas token of the Newton Protocol. It will be required to pay for transaction execution—including agent-triggered automation—and to issue, update, or revoke onchain permissions, such as zkPermissions and session keys. Initially, transaction fees may be subsidized by the Foundation while validator infrastructure comes online. Over time, the Protocol intends to adopt a fee market mechanism similar to Ethereum’s EIP-1559 to support scalable, fair transaction ordering.
3. Agent Model Registry and Service Collateral
Agent developers can register agent models via the Newton Model Registry. Agent operators must provide newt collateral to offer services using these models. In return, they earn Newt-denominated fees from users, and a portion of those fees is distributed to the agent developers. Slashing conditions apply if the agents behave incorrectly, helping enforce safety and service guarantees. The Model Registry also supports an onchain marketplace, making it easy to discover and deploy autonomous agents.
