Newton Protocol: The Trustworthy and Verifiable Decentralized Automation Infrastructure

Innovative solutions to address the automation challenges of Web3

Today, Web3 users face decentralized, complex, and high-risk operations, especially in processes like cross-chain transactions, staking management, and asset rebalancing. The Newton Protocol uses exclusive trusted execution environments and zero-knowledge proof technology to provide verifiable fully automated agents, allowing complex tasks to be executed securely on-chain while ensuring that users have complete control over their operations.

Core Architecture and Design Principles

Newton is built on three core principles:

• Scoped Autonomy: Users set the boundaries of proxy operations through zkPermissions, including the scope of actions and funding limits, to prevent agents from abusing their powers.
• Verifiable Integrity: Each step of the agent’s actions generates a zero-knowledge proof, ensuring complete compliance with user authorization and no overreach.
• Earned Reputation: Agents have reputation values based on their performance. Violations will result in economic penalties to maintain system balance.

This enables Newton to establish a secure and transparent agency market that coexists with incentives and constraints.

Developer Ecosystem and Agent Market

Newton provides a comprehensive SDK toolkit to help developers create and deploy verifiable smart agents. Developers can define the agent’s inputs and outputs, execution costs, and proof mechanisms, and register the model in the protocol’s Model Registry, allowing agent operators to register and provide services, reducing market entry barriers and encouraging innovation.

NEWT Token Economics

$NEWT is the native utility token of the Newton protocol, with a total supply of 1 billion coins. The distribution structure is reasonable, with an initial circulation of approximately 21.5%. The token use cases cover:

• Staking to ensure network security and participate in Delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS).
• Gas transaction fee for payment agent operations.
• Developers register in the Model Registry and profit sharing.
• Protocol governance, including proposals, fee adjustments, and ecological fund management.
• Token design takes into account ecological stability and long-term incentives.

Summary

Newton Protocol, with its unique secure and verifiable automation technology, fills the trust gap in the current Web3 automation landscape, promoting efficient and autonomous cross-chain financial operations. In the future, as AI and blockchain become more deeply integrated, Newton is expected to become a pillar of infrastructure in the fields of Decentralization finance and intelligent agents.
