Convert Newton NEWT to Stride STRD

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.

STRD is the governance token of the Stride blockchain, functioning as a pivotal component of its decision-making structure. Holders of STRD have the ability to stake their tokens, earning rewards composed of both STRD and rewards derived from liquid staked tokens. This token lets users to participate actively in on-chain governance processes, including voting on matters such as validator selection and chain upgrades. Its core functions remain intact as Stride adopts Interchain Security (ICS). STRD holders can continue staking their tokens to receive rewards, a combination of both STRD and rewards derived from liquid staked tokens. This allows them to actively engage in on-chain decisions and voting processes, influencing choices like validator selection and upgrades. To ensure sustainability, the emission of STRD as staking rewards was decreased in half from the original tokenomics. A portion of staking rewards, 15%, is shared with the Cosmos Hub, fostering collaboration between the two ecosystems. The STRD token remains essential, serving as a pillar of governance influence and staking opportunities within Stride's evolving landscape.
