Newton (NEWT) is the native token of the Newton Protocol, a decentralized infrastructure designed to enable secure, verifiable automation of on-chain activities. The protocol combines technologies such as Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) so users can delegate blockchain tasks to automated agents while maintaining cryptographic security and control.
Key Uses of NEWT

Gas & Fees: NEWT is used to pay protocol transaction and execution fees.
Model/Agent Registry: Developers use NEWT to register AI models and agents within the protocol ecosystem.
Governance: Staked NEWT allows holders to participate in governance decisions as the protocol decentralizes.
