This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, determined by measurements from a trusted geological authority. The focus is on the peak seismic activity recorded during a defined 24-hour period, with outcomes based on varying strength thresholds.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest earthquake magnitude reported by the USGS anywhere in the world on September 7, 2026, between midnight and 23:59:59 UTC, meets or exceeds the specified threshold. The magnitude used for settlement is the value displayed by USGS at expiration, prioritizing moment magnitude (Mw) when available, and falling back to the primary magnitude type reported if necessary. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify as resolving triggers. Should the USGS ComCat database be unavailable at the expiration time, settlement may be delayed according to the contract’s contingency provisions. Thresholds range from 5.2 to 7.0, with each market corresponding to a distinct magnitude requirement.
