Convert Hydranet HDN to Newton NEWT

What is the project about? Hydranet is the first fully decentralized trading network that combines the speed and cost-efficiency of centralized exchanges, while preserving the self-custody and security of DeFi. Leveraging off-chain protocols such as the Lightning Network for Bitcoin and Hydranet’s Lithium Network for EVM and smart contract-based blockchains, Hydranet offers trustless, peer-to-peer trading with instant trade confirmations and zero network fees, even when trading between different blockchains. Using Hydranet, traders no longer need to compromise on security, scalability, and decentralization - they get it all! Hydranet is designed for everyone, offering multiple trading interfaces. Casual traders can use recognizable interfaces similar to popular DEXs for a simplified one-click trading experience, while experienced traders can opt for an order book interface or API, providing greater flexibility for advanced trading strategies. Beyond its key features - instant trades, zero network fees, and cross-chain trading - Hydranet introduces several innovations: the Lithium protocol (a state channel protocol for smart contract-based blockchains akin to the Lightning Network), the first-ever Lightning (and Lithium) off-chain nodes running directly in a browser environment, and an external off-chain signer for secure signatures of off-chain transactions. Read more about Hydranet on their documentation page: What makes your project unique? Hydranet offers an entirely new approach to solving the blockchain trilemma of security, scalability, and decentralization. While other decentralized projects turn to sidechains to address scalability, Hydranet takes a different route by using off-chain protocols that run on top of established blockchains. Sidechains often lead to issues in DeFi, such as liquidity fragmentation and increased ecosystem complexity. By focusing on off-chain protocols, Hydranet allows original blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum to scale without sacrificing liquidity, decentralization, or security. Hydranet doesn’t just enhance the scalability of these blockchains, it also connects them, enabling seamless cross-chain trading with full control, instant confirmations, and zero network fees! What can your coin/token be used for? HDN is the native token of the Hydranet Network and plays a central role in the network’s operation and governance. It enables community members to actively participate in maintaining and securing the decentralized infrastructure that powers Hydranet’s off-chain DEX. By locking HDN as collateral, token holders can operate Titans or Guardians - two key node roles in the Hydranet Network. Titans facilitate the trading process by hosting the off-chain order book and matching trades, while Guardians ensure network integrity by monitoring behavior and enforcing protocol rules. Both roles are essential to the trustless, decentralized operation of the network, and are rewarded for their contributions.

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.
