1. Project Overview

Newton Protocol is a decentralized infrastructure layer built for verifiable onchain automation and secure agent authorization. It enables users, DAOs, and protocols to execute complex actions through programmable agents — without relying on centralized bots or offchain coordination.

By integrating trusted execution environments (TEEs), zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), and a modular agent architecture, Newton provides a fully onchain alternative to offchain automation. It empowers developers to encode conditional logic directly into smart agents, bringing “if-this-then-that” logic natively onchain and making finance truly autonomous.

Mission:
The Magic Newton Foundation aims to make crypto-native automation trustless, secure, and composable, enhancing protocol operations, user experience, and capital efficiency in DeFi and beyond.

2. Token Information

  • Token Name: Newton Protocol ($NEWT )

  • Token Type: ERC-20

  • Initial Supply: 215,000,000 (21.5% of total)

  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000

3. Project Highlights

Core Architecture

  • Newton Model Registry – Onchain repository for agent models (trigger-action contracts)

  • Newton Keystore – A zkRollup storing user-defined permission keys (e.g. zkPermissions)

  • Automation Intents – Verifiable user-submitted triggers for automated execution

Key Features

  • Verifiable Agents: Trust-minimized automation with cryptographic proof of execution

  • Programmable Permissions: Fine-grained access control (session keys, zkPermissions)

  • TEE + ZK Integration: Trusted compute meets zero-knowledge validation

  • Open Marketplace: Agents are composable and discoverable through the Model Registry

Ecosystem Stats (at launch)

  • 1.1M+ users signed up

  • 600K+ agent transactions processed

  • 350K+ activated agents on Newton test environment

Milestones Achieved

  • Launch of v1 Protocol and agent execution proof mechanism

  • Recurring Buy Agent released for automated DCA

  • Live staking support for NEWT token

  • Governance framework and foundation setup complete

4. Token Utility

  • Staking for Protocol Security
    Validators and participants can stake NEWT for rewards and protocol uptime assurance.

  • Gas Token
    NEWT is used for executing permission-related operations and automations.

  • Agent Collateral
    Agent model operators post NEWT tokens as collateral for running models on the network.

  • Governance
    Staked NEWT tokens grant governance rights over protocol upgrades and economic parameters.

5. Token Distribution

  • Initial Circulating Supply : 21.5% (215M)

  • Day 1 Public Float : 17.1%

  • Airdrop Allocation : 12.5M (1.25%)

  • Day 1 Airdrop Cluster : 10.0%

  • Institutional + Ecosystem : 7.1% (CEX) + 1.0% (DEX) + 3.0% (Growth) + 3.1% (Dev Fund)

6. Roadmap

Upcoming:

  • Verifiable Agent Marketplace
    A public zkRegistry of composable agents, allowing anyone to publish and use automation strategies.

  • Multichain zkPermissions Keystore
    A privacy-preserving permission layer for multichain automation using zero-knowledge rollups.

  • Protocol Decentralization
    Onboarding of 3rd-party validators to secure the Keystore rollup and remove reliance on centralized operators.

  • Scalability Enhancements
    Aggregated proof verification to support low-cost, high-frequency automations.
