MagicNewton officially launches the 'Newton Protocol'…developer SDK registration begins

The MagicNewton Foundation announced on the 19th that it has officially launched the Newton Protocol (NEWT) and has begun registering developers for the developer SDK (software development kit).

The development of the Newton Protocol is being led by Magic Labs. Magic Labs is a developer that raised $90 million from well-known industry investors such as PayPal Ventures, Digital Currency Group, and Placeholder.

The Newton Protocol is a "decentralized policy protocol" applicable to assets such as stablecoins and real-world assets (RWA), as well as AI agents and automated DeFi vaults. A policy protocol is a layer that creates programmable rules for each asset or project, designed to automatically execute conditions for asset issuance, movement, and trading by linking on- and off-chain data. Its purpose is to ensure token regulatory compliance and market soundness.

The Newton Protocol's architecture combines cross-chain policy application, dynamic off-chain data integration, and minimum-trust guarantees. Through this, it introduces cryptographic proofs, collateral requirements, and even sanction mechanisms such as slashing to deter malicious behavior and secure potential fund recovery options.

Protocol security is maintained by the governance token "NEWT." This token is listed on major exchanges worldwide and can also be traded domestically on platforms such as Upbit and Bithumb.

The Newton Protocol's SDK and developer tools are being provided in early access, and a currently accessible developer waitlist has been published. The foundation plans to sequentially release proofs of concept (PoCs) demonstrating protocol use cases, including verifiable agent trading, stablecoins, and RWAs.

The developer waitlist and PoC updates can be found on the official MagicNewton website.

Sean Lee, CEO of Magic Labs, said, "Policy protocols are an essential element for large-scale invested assets to be put on-chain," adding, "We will ensure that AI agents, stablecoins, and institutions operate safely and transparently at a global level."

Mohammad Akabanik, Managing Director of the Magic Foundation, said, "The Newton Protocol is a policy framework that can be applied to various assets and systems, not limited to virtual assets," adding, "We will expand support to institutional stablecoins and autonomous AI agents and develop it into a public good."
