Something I underestimated about Newton at first: the policy layer isn't meant to stay on one chain. The upcoming Keystore rollup is built specifically so permissions can travel across multiple chains instead of being redefined every time an agent crosses one.
That sounds like a small engineering choice. I don't think it is.
Most permission systems today are local. A spending limit set on one chain means nothing the moment an asset or agent moves somewhere else. Rebuilding that logic on every new chain is exactly the kind of friction that quietly limits how far automation can actually go.
If a policy can be verified once and recognized everywhere, that changes what "crossing chains" means for an agent. It's no longer just moving an asset. It's carrying judgment along with it.
I'm withholding a real opinion until the rollup is live and I can see how policies behave under actual cross-chain conditions, not just the litepaper version. Design intentions and working systems are rarely identical in this industry.
