Convert Exactly Protocol EXA to Newton NEWT

What is the project about? Exactly is a decentralized and open-source DeFi protocol that allows users to exchange the value of their crypto assets through deposits easily and borrows with variable and fixed interest rates. What makes your project unique? Unlike other fixed rate protocols that determine fixed rates based on the price of various maturity tokens, Exactly Protocol is the first to determine fixed rates based on the utilization rate of pools with different maturity dates. This means the protocol does not need a custom AMM to trade maturity tokens; it only needs a variable rate pool that consistently provides liquidity to the different fixed rate pools. History of your project: Exactly Protocol was started in July 2021, launched to Ethereum Mainnet in November 2022, and to Optimism in March 2023 by a team of stakeholders with software, economics, finance, and math expertise. Exactly was funded by long-term capital partners with a track record of alignment with Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. Some of our current investors are Kazsek, BairesDAO, NXTP, Newtopia, Kain Warwick (Co-Founder of Synthetix), Esteban Ordano (Co-Founder of Decentraland), Matias Woloski (Co-Founder of Auth0), Daedalus among others. What’s next for your project? Continue growing following Optimism’s Superchain approach and partner with web3 projects and web2 fintech in the long term to bring the benefits of Defi to the end-user. What can your token be used for? (Utility, NOT tokenomics) The EXA token serves as the governance token of Exactly Protocol, granting holders the right to vote on proposals for changes and upgrades in the protocol. EXA holders will wield power over the Exactly Protocol’s treasury, risk management, and smart contract upgrades.

What Is Newton Protocol (NEWT)? Newton Protocol is the decentralized policy layer that makes onchain compliance verifiable, programmable, and automatic. Builders define how digital assets can move by setting rules that check every transaction for things like sanctions, identity, or risk before it goes through. By turning compliance into code, Newton Protocol replaces manual reviews with real-time, upgradeable enforcement. Financial institutions, stablecoin issuers, RWA platforms, and AI agents can now meet evolving regulatory requirements directly at the point of transaction without giving up transparency, privacy, or decentralization. Builder defined rules, called policies, use both onchain and offchain data to decide whether a transaction should be approved or blocked. A decentralized network of operators, secured through Ethereum restaking and NEWT, evaluates each policy inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and generates proofs to show the checks were done correctly. The results can be verified by anyone through the Newton Explorer. NEWT is the native utility token and is used for: *Fees for compliance compute. *Rewards for network operators and delegated staking. *Governance votes that shape the protocol. Who Are the Founders of Newton Protocol? Newton Protocol is the vision of Magic Labs and its co-founders Sean Li and Jaemin Jin. Magic Labs created the first embedded wallet in the crypto industry, helping 200K+ developers create 50M+ wallets to get onchain with trailblazing customers such as Polymarket, Forbes, Helium, WalletConnect, Mattel, and Naver. The Magic Newton Foundation is responsible for driving adoption, enabling open development and supporting decentralization of the Newton Protocol. Management of the Magic Newton Foundation is led by an independent board of directors. What Makes Newton Protocol Unique? Newton Protocol introduces compliance-as-code, a way to make rules verifiable and enforceable directly onchain. Just as smart contracts made execution programmable and oracles made data composable, Newton Protocol makes compliance itself part of the transaction process. Its policy layer, operator network, and oracle adapters work together to check every transaction against defined rules, producing cryptographic proofs that confirm those checks were done correctly. Builders can write and update policies in familiar languages like Rego, while decentralized operators evaluate them and verify results in real time. Because Newton Protocol is fully composable, any dapp, stablecoin, or AI wallet can integrate its policy client to enforce business or regulatory rules automatically, creating a neutral, decentralized compliance layer that connects institutions, regulators, and autonomous agents through verifiable trust.
