## UX Changes

Numerai has released a few upgrades to the user experience including passkey, so users can login faster and recover MFA without having to contact Numerai support teams. NMR value displays have also been updated to better distinguish decimals and commas. Stake values should display in a more human-readable way now.

## Earlier Rounds

Starting April 8, 2026, Numerai rounds can start 1 hour earlier. This means our rounds will start no earlier than 12 UTC. This is a permanent change that guarantees we stay on schedule regardless of daylight savings time. 

Starting April 11, 2026, our weekend rounds will end 1 day earlier on Sunday at 16 UTC. This means weekend rounds will only be open for 28 hours instead of 48 hours. This is a permanent change that guarantees better trading reliability on Monday mornings.

## Other Updates
