Numerai first encrypts its transaction data and then shares the encrypted data with data scientists - thus giving scientists no chance of copying the fund's trading strategy. However, the company will finely design encrypted data to enable scientists to model data based on data and thereby gain more from the transaction. Numerai will issue a total of one million Numeraire tokens to 12,000 scientists starting February 21. The higher the scientist's points, the more tokens available. Numerai can not be used as a currency to buy goods in the market, it is only used to motivate scientists to establish a successful machine learning model, and then profitable trading through the real market. If the scientists profit from the deal, they can get the Numeraire tokens and win bitcoin "bonuses." If the deal is a loss, they can not claim "wages," and the company "destroys" the ones that belong to them. Numeraire tokens.
