Newton Protocol (NEWT) is a decentralised infrastructure platform that brings on-chain AI automation to DeFi. It enables autonomous agents to execute financial operations — such as trading, staking, and payments — directly on-chain without relying on centralised servers or off-chain bots. By combining Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Newton delivers a verifiable framework for secure and transparent AI-driven automation.
The NEWT token powers the network’s economy, facilitating transaction fees, staking, validator delegation, agent registration, and governance. With a fixed supply and incentive-based distribution model, NEWT aligns rewards among developers, users, and AI agents that participate in the protocol’s autonomous ecosystem.
Newton Protocol is built on Ethereum and operates using a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus model. Token holders can delegate NEWT to validators, who verify AI agent performance, validate transactions, and finalise network actions. This structure ensures decentralisation while maintaining the speed and efficiency needed for autonomous DeFi execution.
Developers deploy AI agents as smart contracts to Newton’s Model Registry, a permissionless repository where each agent defines a specific trigger-action strategy — for example, automatically rebalancing a portfolio, executing trades, or performing yield optimisations.
To guarantee secure and verifiable automation, Newton integrates several key technologies:
These components allow Newton agents to function fully on-chain, creating a decentralised, self-operating environment where smart contracts can make autonomous, data-driven decisions without human intervention.
Newton Protocol serves as a foundation for autonomous DeFi and AI-powered infrastructure, supporting a wide range of use cases:
By merging artificial intelligence and decentralised infrastructure, Newton creates a scalable and trustless system for both individual and institutional DeFi automation.
