Numerai Tournament

Numerai

Tournament flow revolves around rounds (timing, datasets, pipeline health), models you register and tune, prediction files uploaded each round, and staking in NMR tied to payouts. Leaderboards and performance surfaces show how submissions rank.

Data Model

• Rounds — active tournament window, metadata, and associated dataset drops.
• Models — registry entries with bios, webhooks, and historical performance.
• Submissions — two-step upload: obtain a short-lived upload target, push bytes, then register the submission for scoring.
• Staking — lock, release, or reallocate NMR; pending payouts and transaction history explain balances.
• Markets — reference NMR and ETH spot data for context.

Gotchas

• Ephemeral uploads: The signed upload target expires—finish the handshake immediately.
• Deadlines: Submission windows close ahead of round resolution; watch round state.
• NMR: Stake weights tournament economics; treat it as part of risk, not just a metric.
