This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, measured by the magnitude reported by a leading geological survey. It assesses seismic activity levels against various strength thresholds to determine outcomes. The focus is on the peak earthquake magnitude recorded during a defined 24-hour period.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest magnitude earthquake reported worldwide by the USGS during September 12, 2026, between midnight and 23:59:59 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) taking precedence when available. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify as resolving the market "Yes." If USGS ComCat data is unavailable at expiration, settlement may be delayed according to contract contingencies. Each market corresponds to a distinct magnitude threshold, with higher thresholds representing increasingly rare seismic events.
