About NEWT

Newton Protocol is a decentralized infrastructure layer for verifiable onchain automation and secure agent authorization. Built by Magic Newton Foundation with key contributions from Magic Labs, it uses trusted execution environments (TEEs) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to enable automated onchain finance that you can trust. Learn more about the agentic future in our litepaper.

Newton Protocol is designed with verifiability, transparency, and security at its core. The NEWT token serves as the backbone of this design by powering staking, permissions, and incentives that protect users and discourage malicious behavior.

Because agent-based automation involves sensitive actions like moving assets, we’ve prioritized security at the base layer. NEWT is deployed as an ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet, where the protocol’s staking contracts also reside.

Magic Newton Foundation is proud to set a new standard for transparency with NEWT. From validator economics to governance and distribution, every aspect of NEWT is disclosed and verifiable. Explore the full tokenomics and disclosures here.

Holding NEWT means being aligned with the core purpose of Newton Protocol: to bring programmable, and verifiable automation onchain. With NEWT, users, developers, and validators will be able to participate in the Newton Protocol ecosystem, whether it’s through securing the protocol, coordinating agent behavior, or governing its evolution. NEWT aligns network participation with protocol integrity, ensuring those who benefit from Newton’s infrastructure are also stewards of its future.

​
Community Rewards

We’ve allocated 10% of total NEWT supply for Community Rewards which are comprised by this initial community airdrop and Kaito rewards campaigns. Tokens from the Community Rewards allocation were not used for any centralized exchange campaigns. These Community programs are designed to accomplish two goals:

  1. Reward community: reward the Newton Protocol community for helping grow mindshare, providing valuable feedback, and testing alpha/beta products
  2. Encourage exploration: seed the community with NEWT to first experience and continue supporting the protocol whether that’s through security via staking or using the tokens to create session keys and transact on Newton Protocol

​

We focused on rewarding those who have demonstrated authentic and genuine interest in what Newton Protocol represents and strives to be: the automated hub for on-chain transactions. To determine allocation amounts, we evaluated data points from multiple sources including, but not limited to:

  • Newton Protocol engagement on Newton.xyz
  • Community engagement through several channels including Magic Newton Portal, Discord and Kaito
  • On-chain wallet behavior, activity on Portal and Newton.xyz, and behavioral and engagement signals were analyzed to detect and filter out bots and farming accounts, with the goal of offering a fair and equitable distribution for genuine community members

Check Your Eligibility

If you are eligible for NEWT airdrop claim through (1) activity on Newton.xyz or (2) community engagement in Newton Portal and Discord, sign up or log in to Newton.xyz to check and claim within the window of June 24 to July 24, 2025.

Depending on when you created your Newton.xyz account, you will see one of two experiences:

Before June 23, 2025 2:40pm ET:

There are two wallet addresses linked to your Newton.xyz account: 

  1. A smart contract wallet that is built for seamless automation through features like chain abstraction and session keys
  2. A Newton Reward Wallet that is a non-custodial externally owned account (EOA) used to claim airdrop and staking rewards

Twowalletsupdated Jp

After June 23, 2025 2:40pm ET:

You only have one wallet address associated with your Newton.xyz account. This is the address to fund with ETH on Ethereum mainnet to cover airdrop claim gas fees.

Because staking plays a vital role in securing the network, we’re offering a one-time 25% bonus reward for users who stake their claimed NEWT immediately and keep it staked for 30 consecutive days. 

Bonus staking rewards will be distributed directly to participating Newton.xyz accounts around the end of August 2025. Stay tuned to Magic Newton Foundation’s official channels for specific timing and updates.

FAQs

  • What is Magic Newton Foundation?

    The Magic Newton Foundation is a nonprofit entity based in the Cayman Islands focused on driving adoption, enabling open development, and supporting the decentralization of Newton Protocol—the verifiable automation layer for onchain finance.

  • What happens to the unclaimed airdrop tokens?

    Any unclaimed airdrop tokens will be returned to the Onchain Ecosystem Growth Fund. The tokens will be used for ecosystem growth across various initiatives including, but not limited to, staking reward incentives, any future airdrops, and developer grants.

  • Why do I have 2 wallets?

    Prior to June 23, 2025 2:40pm ET, Newton.xyz primarily used ERC-4337 smart contract wallets and custom automation modules which must be deployed onchain to enable the vision of automated, verifiable and secure onchain crypto UX. The Newton Reward Wallet is a EOA wallet secured in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) that allows you to claim NEWT rewards and is needed to deploy your smart contract wallet. You can export this private key at any time. However, keep in mind that assets are not shared across the 2 wallets. You can think of the smart contract wallet as your automation wallet and the EOA as your non-custodial admin wallet.

  • Why is the airdrop claim through my Newton Reward Wallet?

    To minimize cost while still allowing users the flexibility to explore all of Newton Protocol’s automation agents in the present and future, users will claim through their Newton Reward Wallet (EOA). Smart contract wallets on Ethereum mainnet are expensive and claiming the airdrop would require a wallet activation fee that we felt would be cost prohibitive for the community.

    Only those who have created a Newton.xyz account prior to June 23, 2025 2:40pm ET have a Newton Reward Wallet. For those who created a Newton.xyz account after that time, they will be able to claim their airdrop with the one wallet address associated with the Newton.xyz account

  • Can I claim my airdrop with a 3rd party self custodial wallet like MetaMask or Coinbase wallet?

    The airdrop for users with activity on Newton.xyz and/or community engagement in Newton Portal and Discord can only be claimed through Newton.xyz. If you’re a Kaito user, there is a separate claim process. Please sign into your Kaito account on their platform to view claim instructions specific to you.

  • What if I linked the wrong Newton Portal account?

    Linking a Newton Portal account to your Newton.xyz account is a 1-time, irreversible action. However, if you want to check airdrop claim eligibility on another Portal account, create a new Newton.xyz account and link the Portal account there. You can claim your airdrop and staking rewards through the newly created Newton.xyz account.

  • Which jurisdictions are ineligible for NEWT airdrop claim?

    The airdrop is not available to individuals or organizations in countries or regions subject to international sanctions. This includes (but is not limited to) anyone who is:

    • On a sanctions list maintained by the United Nations, U.S. Government, European Union, or other relevant authorities.
    • Located in or a resident/citizen of the following countries or regions:
      • Cuba
      • North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea)
      • Iran
      • Syria
      • Russia
      • Belarus
      • Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine

    If you are subject to economic sanctions or arms embargoes, or located in a restricted country, you are not eligible to participate in the airdrop.

  • Will there be more NEWT airdrop campaigns in the future?

    The Magic Newton Foundation has reserved 15.5% of the total $NEWT supply for ecosystem growth, some of which will be used for future airdrop campaigns.
