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 whether any earthquake meets or exceeds these thresholds.
The event determines whether the largest earthquake on October 22, 2026, anywhere in the world, reaches or exceeds specified magnitude thresholds, ranging from 5.2 to 7.0 on the Richter scale. Settlement relies on data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), using the moment magnitude scale (Mw) as the primary metric, or the main magnitude type reported if Mw is unavailable. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify. If USGS data is inaccessible at the time of settlement, resolution may be postponed under contractual contingencies. Each market corresponds to a distinct magnitude threshold, with 'Yes' resolving if any earthquake during the specified UTC timeframe matches or exceeds that threshold.
