Binance users recently received the Newton Protocol token ($NEWT) for free, and it was the 24th project distributed through Binance airdrops for users subscribed to BNB Simple Earn products.
Let's talk about what the project is about.
** What is the Newton Protocol?**
The Newton Protocol is a decentralized infrastructure layer for verifiable on-chain automation and secure authorization of agents. It allows protocols, DAOs, and users to execute complex actions through verifiable agents without relying on centralized bots or off-chain coordination.
** Use cases of the token**
🔸Staking for Protocol Security
The dPoS staking of NEWT will be available to allow network participants to contribute to the security and uptime of the Newton Warehouse rollup.
🔸Token for Gas / Fees
NEWT will be the native gas token of the Newton Protocol required to issue, update, or revoke permissions on-chain for a given account (for example, when delegating to an autonomous agent).
🔸Token for the Newton Models Registry
Agent operators provide NEWT tokens as collateral for their automated services that use registered agent models operating on the Newton Protocol.
🔸Governance
The Newton Protocol and its ecosystem will be decentralized over time, and users who stake their NEWT will have the right to vote in the governance process.
** Three main components**
🔸Newton Models Registry
A canonical on-chain registry where agent models (activation action contracts) are published and referenced.
🔸Newton Warehouse
A specialized rollup responsible for storing and updating user permissions (e.g., session keys, zkPermissions) that define which agents can act on behalf of a user.
