Today I thought of a down-to-earth scenario: if one day an AI agent really helps me handle on-chain transactions, I wouldn’t hand over my main wallet right away. Instead, I’d treat it like giving the kids in the house their living allowance—first a “budget wallet.” 😄
For example, at most 300 USDT per week: it can only pay for servers, subscriptions, gas, and a few whitelisted protocols. It can’t touch the main position, can’t transfer to unknown addresses, and if a single payment exceeds 80 USDT, it must stop and wait for confirmation.
That’s what I understand to be the value of @NewtonProtocol : not letting the AI do whatever it wants, but writing transaction-before rules for “how much it can spend, where it can spend it, and what situations require stopping.” Only through rules does it get to execute—don’t cross the boundaries.
We used to talk about wallet security and always say not to grant approvals randomly. In the future, with more AI agents, the problem will become: once approvals are granted, how do you control them? If an approval layer like $NEWT can run smoothly, then the AI won’t be wandering around with a bank card—it will operate within a clearly defined budget. #newt
