Let’s talk about the Newton Protocol that I’ve been paying attention to recently. I think it’s one of the few projects in the AI + blockchain space that truly “gets safety right” first.
When many people first come into contact with on-chain automation, their first concern is security: handing your private key to a robot makes you afraid of theft; trusting a centralized service makes you worry about wrongdoing; and executing strategies through a black box feels opaque. What Newton Protocol focuses on at its core is building a security Rollup specifically designed for AI-driven strategies—by using Keystore Rollup to manage permissions and combining it with zkPermissions (a programmable permissions framework). Users can grant precise operation permissions to their AI agents and revoke them at any time, without ever surrendering final control of assets. Every execution step is verified on-chain using zero-knowledge proofs and trusted execution environments. Whether it was done, and what exactly was done, is fully traceable and verifiable.
With this Newton Mainnet Beta launch, it’s essentially bringing this security foundation to live deployment and proving it works in practice. The roles in the ecosystem are also well defined: developers can list their AI agent models on the Model Registry; node operators stake $NEWT to provide automation services and earn transaction fees; regular users pay Gas with NEWT, participate in staking to earn rewards. Meanwhile, $NEWT is also the governance token of the entire protocol. From network security to ecosystem operation, the token’s value scenarios form a real, closed-loop use case.
DeFi has long moved beyond the stage where it relies purely on manual operations. AI automation is an inevitable trend, but the prerequisite is always safety. Newton’s approach—first laying a solid foundation with a security Rollup, and then growing the AI strategy ecosystem on top—actually has longer-term value than many projects that just pile on buzzwords. Looking forward to seeing more interesting AI strategies running after the mainnet Beta, and also optimistic about $NEWT gradually realizing value as the ecosystem takes shape.
