The challenge encourages the use of macroeconomic trends, fundamental data, and statistical techniques in model development. A prize pool of $20,000 is available for successful entries. The challenge is hosted on the 0xdesights platform in partnership with Numerai.

Phase 1 of the token merger between OCEAN, AGIX, and FET is set to commence on July 1st, 2024. Several major exchanges have confirmed support for this transition. Key points include the closure of OCEAN and AGIX deposits and withdrawals, continued FET operations, and the opening of a migration platform on SingularityDAO dApp. Token holders on supporting centralized exchanges need not take action, as their tokens will automatically convert to FET. Self-custody holders will receive guidance for the transition. The process emphasizes strategic onboarding and infrastructure development. Users are cautioned against potential scams during this period and advised to rely solely on official information sources.
