AB is an advanced evolution of blockchain technology, emerging from the Newton Project, which was founded in 2018 to build decentralized infrastructure for community-driven economies. The Newton Project aimed to ensure that everyone directly benefits from economic growth, and after years of development, it has achieved partial success in this mission. In 2025, the project rebranded as AB, marking a strategic transformation toward a more sophisticated blockchain ecosystem focused on heterogeneous infrastructure, real-world asset integration, and optimized tokenomics. The AB token serves as the network’s Gas token, facilitating transactions, executing smart contracts, and supporting governance to enhance scalability and sustainability.
AB envisions a fully decentralized and interoperable blockchain ecosystem that seamlessly connects digital and real-world economies. It eliminates centralized control by empowering individuals and communities with direct access to economic opportunities while fostering liquidity through an accelerated token release. By integrating real-world assets (RWA) into the blockchain, AB bridges traditional industries with decentralized technologies, driving broader adoption. Additionally, AB enhances interoperability, enabling seamless asset transfers and communication across multiple blockchains, creating a more versatile and interconnected network.
