As AI agents and automated DeFi systems increasingly manage capital onchain, one challenge stands out: ensuring these agents act safely and within defined parameters before executing a transaction.

Today, we’re introducing the Vaults.fyi Data Oracle, an open-source integration built for Newton Protocol that integrates real-time vault performance data to enforce programmable guardrails for AI and DeFi automation.

Bringing Vaults.fyi Data into Newton Protocol

The Vaults.fyi Data Oracle enables developers to incorporate historical vault APY data into a Newton Protocol policy to create programmable guardrails for agentic systems and DeFi automation.

Developers can also integrate additional Vaults.fyi performance and transaction APIs to create policies that:

  • Allocate funds only to vaults with a 30-day APY above a defined threshold.
  • Restrict interactions to vaults with a specified number of holders and instant withdrawal support.
  • Block reallocations to vaults with low liquidity or poor reputation scores.
  • Enforce diversification caps to prevent overexposure to a single protocol or asset.

By routing Vaults.fyi data through Newton Protocol, developers can ensure that AI trading agents and DeFi automations make decisions only when the policy conditions are met, enabling real-time, trust-minimized compliance before execution.

Together, Vaults.fyi and Newton Protocol enable AI-safe DeFi automation where every agent action is preceded by a verifiable policy check.

Example Use Cases

Integrating Vaults.fyi data through Newton Protocol enables real-time, data-driven decision controls for:

  • AI trading agents: Evaluate vault performance and risk before executing deposits or swaps, ensuring actions stay within defined yield and risk tolerances.
  • Automated yield optimizers: Use Vaults.fyi data as a signal layer for rebalancing decisions, with Newton Protocol enforcing minimum APY or liquidity requirements.
  • Treasury management bots: Guarantee that automated treasury deposits only occur in vaults with verified assets or sufficient depth.
  • Cross-protocol allocators: Apply consistent policy checks across chains and vault providers without custom integrations.
  • Institutional DeFi platforms: Create pre-trade controls that satisfy internal risk and compliance mandates for AI-driven execution.

Together, Vaults.fyi and Newton Protocol bring programmable safety to AI finance, transforming automation from reactive to verifiably risk-aware.

Why Newton Protocol Is Different

Most automation frameworks operate offchain or embed rigid logic in smart contracts, making them opaque and difficult to update. Newton Protocol separates policy enforcement from execution, creating a programmable layer that is:

  • Modular: Define once, apply across vaults, chains and agents.
  • Composable: Combine onchain and offchain data for richer logic.
  • Updatable: Adjust thresholds and rules without redeploying contracts.
  • Verifiable: Every evaluation generates an attestation visible on Newton Explorer.
  • Credibly Neutral: Enforcement runs through a decentralized operator network secured by EigenLayer restaking.

Newton Protocol turns automation and compliance controls into code, giving lean teams the efficiency and oversight typically reserved for organizations with full compliance and risk teams.

Get Started

Developers can now use the Vaults.fyi Data Oracle to build programmable guardrails for AI agents, DeFi strategies, or treasury systems.

👉 Head to the Developer Docs to learn how to integrate Vaults.fyi data, as well as other oracles like Magic Labs, Persona or Chainalysis, into Newton Protocol policies.

With Newton Protocol, developers can compose policies with live data that meet any business or regulatory requirement.
