NEWTNewton Protocol (NEWT) Price

1.Project introduction

Newton Protocol provides a decentralized infrastructure layer enabling verifiable onchain automation and secure agent authorization. It allows protocols, DAOs, and users to automate complex actions via programmable agents without relying on centralized bots or offchain processes. Utilizing trusted execution environments, zero-knowledge proofs, and modular agent architecture, it ensures transparency, composability, and trust in automated transactions on blockchain networks.

2.Token application and distribution

Token application

The NEWT token is used for staking to secure the Newton network, paying gas fees for executing automated tasks, participating in governance votes to shape the protocol, and compensating operators and validators for running and verifying automation tasks.

Token distribution

Community Rewards (Community Allocation)

10% of NEWT token supply has been allocated to early Protocol adopters and participants in Newton Protocol ecosystem growth programs, including Portal, agent usage on newton.xyz, and ecosystem initiatives. A portion of this allocation—0.90% of the total NEWT token supply—has been designated for Kaito to support a Newton Protocol rewards campaign. These tokens are fully unlocked at launch. Any unclaimed or unused NEWT from this allocation will remain unlocked and be transferred to the Onchain Ecosystem Growth Fund.

Network Rewards (Community Allocation)

8.5% of NEWT token supply has been reserved for validator incentives. The rewards will be deposited into the Newton Protocol staking contract and the Newton Protocol will distribute these rewards programatically to encourage network security and broader participation in staking. The final size and timing of distributions will depend in part on ongoing staking engagement.

Liquidity Support (Community Allocation)

4% of NEWT supply has been allocated to support liquidity on centralized exchanges and/or decentralized onchain liquidity pools, available concurrently with or after launch. These tokens are fully unlocked and held in a Foundation-controlled multisig. This allocation is intended to improve early access to the community across supported centralized and/or decentralized exchanges. 

Onchain Ecosystem Growth Fund (Community Allocation)

15.5% of NEWT token supply has been allocated for any campaigns, partners, or programs that support the growth of the Newton Protocol ecosystem. 20% of this allocation is unlocked upfront (3.1% of the total NEWT supply), with the remainder unlocking over 48 months. Tokens are held in a multisig wallet controlled by the Foundation subject to Newton Protocol governance, and disbursements will be disclosed through quarterly transparency reports.

Onchain Ecosystem Development Fund (Community Allocation)

12.5% of NEWT token supply has been allocated to support technical and infrastructure development of the Newton Protocol, including developer rewards, hackathons, and core protocol enhancements. Like the growth fund, 20% is unlocked upfront (2.5% of the total NEWT supply), with the remaining tokens unlocking over 48 months and held in a multisig wallet controlled by the Foundation subject to Newton Protocol governance.

Onchain Foundation Treasury (Community Allocation)

9.5% of NEWT token supply has been allocated to the Foundation’s onchain treasury for its operational purposes and initiatives in support of the Newton Protocol, including hiring employees, unaffiliated vendors, or paying for services.

These tokens are held in a Foundation-controlled multisig wallet. 

Core Contributors (Internal Allocation)

18.5% of NEWT token supply has been allocated to core contributors at Magic Labs who have played a foundational role in contributing to the development of the Newton Protocol. These tokens are subject to a 12-month cliff, with 33.3% unlocked at the cliff, and a 36-month linear vesting schedule.  

Early Backers (Internal Allocation)
