This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, measured by the magnitude reported by a leading geological survey. It examines the possibility of seismic activity reaching certain strength thresholds during a defined 24-hour period. Outcomes depend on whether any quake meets or exceeds these benchmarks.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest magnitude earthquake reported worldwide by the USGS during October 1, 2026, between midnight and 23:59:59 UTC, meets or exceeds the specified threshold. The magnitude used for settlement is the USGS-reported value at expiration, with moment magnitude (Mw) taking precedence when available. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify as resolving events. Should the USGS ComCat database be unavailable at the expiration time, settlement may be delayed according to the contract contingencies. Each market corresponds to a different magnitude threshold, ranging from 5.2 to 7.0, with higher thresholds representing increasingly rare seismic events.
