Payout Updates for the 2026 Season
Several payout changes took effect January 1st, 2026.
Numerai: Ender20 is the new scoring, payout, and leaderboard target, marking Numerai’s first payout target change since 2023 and setting the stage for the 2026 season. The CORR Multiplier is increasing 0.5 → 0.75 and the MMC Multiplier is increasing 2.0 → 2.25.
Signals: The payout clip is increasing 1.7% → 3.5% to improve the profitability of the best users. Also, MPC is being updated to use an L2 Norm rather than an L1 Norm. This is a subtle change that may be unnoticeable for most.
Crypto: CORR Multiplier is increasing 0 → 0.05 and MMC Multiplier is decreasing 1 → 0.5 to keep a balance of profitability between tournaments.

Numerai paid out $254,137 worth of NMR in December.
