Newton Protocol ($NEWT ) is the authorization layer for onchain finance, built by Magic Labs. Its role: verify transactions meet compliance rules—KYC, jurisdiction, spending limits—before execution, replacing centralized gatekeepers.
The whitepaper (v1.0, Feb 2026) details a Visa-like authorization model using Rego/OPA policies, EigenLayer-secured operators, and cross-chain design.
System: developers write policies; decentralized operators evaluate transactions in TEEs, producing cryptographic attestations.
Uses: stablecoins, RWAs, cross-border payments, institutional DeFi, and AI agent commerce. NEWT pays protocol fees.
