This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, measured by the severity of seismic activity reported by a trusted scientific source. The outcome depends on whether any tremor reaches or exceeds certain magnitude thresholds during the designated 24-hour period.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest magnitude earthquake reported worldwide by the USGS on October 14, 2026, between midnight and 23:59 UTC, meets or exceeds a specific threshold ranging from 5.2 to 7.0. The magnitude used for settlement is the USGS-reported value at expiration, with moment magnitude (Mw) preferred when available. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify. If USGS ComCat data is unavailable at expiration, settlement may be delayed under contract contingencies. Each market corresponds to a distinct magnitude threshold, with higher thresholds representing increasingly severe seismic events.
