An EVM-compatible blockchain for decentralized commerce, Newton delivers low-fee transactions and tooling for retail loyalty, payments, and supply-chain applications.
Newton (NEW) is a public mainnet called NewChain built by the Newton Project to power a community/commerce economy. It supports low-cost payments, loyalty and rewards distribution, and retail/supply-chain use cases, and NEW is the native gas token for transactions and on-chain operations. Via cross-chain bridges, NEW can be moved to other ecosystems for payments or DeFi interoperability.
Newton is differentiated by a commerce-first design and incentive model aimed at consumer transactions and community governance, prioritizing ultra-low fees and fast confirmations. Compared with larger L1s, public trackers typically show sub-cent average gas costs, block times on the order of seconds, and low current activity/TPS utilization—cheaper than Ethereum L1 but with a smaller ecosystem. For the most current metrics (avg gas, block speed, TPS, activity), consult the official resources and explorer linked at newtonproject.org, as figures vary by source and over time.
Newton uses NEW as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain NEW by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge NEW to Newton, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Newton as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Newton you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Newton to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send NEW on Newton, ensure your wallet is connected to the Newton network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of NEW to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
