Unlock Schedule
Newton (NEW) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The chart shows gross modeled releases of every allocation: vesting unlocks, new issuance and reserve distributions, each allocation counted once. These have different meanings; a scheduled release is not evidence that tokens entered circulation or were sold. Review the coverage, sources and assumptions below.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
NEWT has a stated fixed supply of one billion tokens. The foundation assigned 60% of that supply to categories it calls community allocations and 40% to internal allocations. The community categories cover rewards, network incentives, ecosystem growth, development, foundation operations, and support for token access. Internal allocations go to core contributors, early backers, and Magic Labs. (newt.foundation)
The largest individual allocations are 18.5% for core contributors, 16.5% for early backers, 15.5% for ecosystem growth, and 12.5% for ecosystem development. Ten percent was assigned to initial community rewards, and 8.5% was reserved for network rewards. Contributor, backer, and Magic Labs allocations have an initial 12-month lock-up and a 36-month vesting schedule. The growth, development, and foundation treasury allocations unlock over 48 months, with a portion available at launch. (assets.newt.foundation)
The token has four main roles in the foundation’s design:
- Network participation: Holders can stake NEWT to support network security and receive staking rewards under the protocol’s rules.
- Fees and permissions: The design calls for NEWT to pay protocol fees and for actions such as creating or changing onchain permissions.
- Agent services: Planned model-registry functions use NEWT for registration, operator collateral, and payments tied to agent services.
- Governance: The project plans to give eligible stakers a vote on protocol decisions as governance develops. (docs.newt.foundation)
Staking is available through the project’s published interface. Fee payments, the model registry, and community voting are described as parts of the protocol’s developing design; the foundation’s EU white paper ties some of these functions to later stages of maturity. (newt.foundation)
Assumptions
Newton’s token is NEWT, not NEW. Its one billion tokens were allocated at launch; community and liquidity budgets unlocked immediately, three foundation funds unlock over four years, and contributor, backer and Magic Labs tokens follow a one-year cliff and longer vesting. Validator rewards, claims and treasury spending have budgets or described programs but no complete dated payment record. The dated chart can show the genesis mint and published unlock curves, with derived continuous timing labeled as estimated; it cannot treat undated distributions as new issuance.
- Initial airdrop and community rewards: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Kaito rewards campaign: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Network validator and staking rewards: New issuance depends on network activity, such as staking, so it cannot be dated in advance.
- Liquidity support: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- Amber liquidity-partner loan: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Flow Traders liquidity-partner loan: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- Onchain Ecosystem Growth Fund: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Onchain Ecosystem Development Fund: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Onchain Foundation Treasury: Releases depend on future governance or treasury decisions.
- Additional Binance-announced marketing campaigns: The sources give the amount but no release dates.
- D’CENT Year-End Gala NEWT reward pool: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
- One-time airdrop staking bonus: Releases depend on recipients claiming tokens or on grants being awarded.
