The Newton Project is focused on building a community-based economy by providing services for governance, collaboration, and incentives. This includes an underlying public chain, distributed storage service, and various sensors. The main net was launched in December 2018 and features a “Main chain and Sub chain” structure with a POA consensus mechanism. Newton also has a Hyper Exchange Protocol for DApps in areas such as digital identity, credit, supply chain, and digital marketing. The first dApp, New Mall, is an online retailer, and the project aims to support applications in areas like agriculture, supply chain, payment, public welfare, and games.
