Summary

We saw a nearly doubling of our researcher community in 2016, with a 287% increase in researcher payouts and a 66% increase in average payout size. We launched a program to reward top-performing researchers on an annual basis, with bonuses awarded to those who meet specific criteria, including high submission acceptance rates and qualifying submissions. In 2016, our top 90 researchers earned over half of the total payouts, totaling nearly $2 million, while also receiving bonus cash, with this year's bonus pool being announced as 50% higher at $75,000. We highlight the work of all researchers who participate in our program and provide a leaderboard for tracking progress.
