Newton Protocol is an open and verifiable infrastructure layer designed to bring secure, programmable automation to onchain finance. In today’s decentralized ecosystem, users and protocols still rely heavily on offchain services and manual actions to execute key financial tasks—from recurring investments to token distribution and treasury operations. These dependencies introduce unnecessary risk, friction, and centralization.

Newton Protocol will address this gap by enabling developers and protocols to create autonomous onchain agents that monitor conditions, execute predefined actions, and coordinate complex financial behavior—without relying on offchain bots or intermediaries. It offers a standardized way to encode “if-this-then-that” logic directly into the blockchain ecosystem, allowing finance to become not just decentralized, but self-operating.

​
Mission and Vision

The mission of the Magic Newton Foundation is to steward the development of the Newton Protocol as a trustless automation layer for crypto-native finance—enhancing security, scalability, and user experience across the ecosystem. The Foundation seeks to empower protocols and DAOs to operate more efficiently, while enabling users to participate more confidently in onchain markets.

​
Ecosystem and Use Cases

Newton Protocol is designed to be broadly composable, with use cases spanning DeFi, DAOs, and onchain treasuries. The initial agent built on the Protocol is a Recurring Buy Agent—enabling users to automate recurring crypto purchases directly onchain in a verifiable manner.

Future ecosystem applications may include:

  • Staking agents that allow automatic claiming and staking of rewards
  • DeFi asset optimization for efficient allocation of users’ crypto assets 
  • DAO governance automation (e.g., automated governance proposals based on different on-chain & off-chain conditions)
  • Verifiable machine-learning for pricing heuristics, funding rates, etc. for high frequency onchain perpetual protocols
  • Treasury automation (e.g., asset rebalancing, liquidity mining)
  • Secure strategy bots for lending, staking, or cross-chain transactions
  • Advanced coordination agents for structured financial products

The Protocol is designed to allow any developer or DAO to publish and register new automation agents through an open framework, expanding the network’s functionality over time.
