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 possibility of seismic activity reaching certain strength thresholds during a defined 24-hour period. Outcomes depend on the highest recorded earthquake magnitude worldwide on that day.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest earthquake magnitude reported by the USGS worldwide on October 13, 2026, between midnight and 23:59 UTC, meets or exceeds a specified threshold. The magnitude used for settlement is the USGS-reported value displayed 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 according to 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.
