This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, measured by the magnitude reported by a leading geological survey. It focuses on the intensity of seismic activity rather than location or impact. The outcome depends solely on whether any earthquake reaches or exceeds certain magnitude thresholds during the defined timeframe.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest magnitude earthquake reported worldwide by the USGS on October 10, 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 the market. If USGS ComCat data is unavailable at expiration, settlement may be delayed under contract contingencies. Each market corresponds to a different minimum magnitude requirement, ranging from 5.2 to 7.0, with higher thresholds representing increasingly rare seismic events.
