This market will resolve according to the total number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.5 or higher that occur anywhere on Earth between April 27, 2026, 12:00 AM ET, and May 3, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. The resolution source for this market is the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program, with the minimum magnitude set to 5.5 and the date parameters set to the relevant dates for this market's timeframe (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/). If an earthquake of substantial size has occurred within this market's timeframe but not yet appeared on the resolution source, this market may remain open until May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or until the earthquake in question otherwise appears on the resolution source. If such an earthquake has not appeared on the resolution source by that date, another credible resolution source will be used. This market may not resolve until the timeframe of this market has concluded. If a qualifying earthquake has been recorded on the final day, this market may remain open for 24 hours to allow for revisions to the recorded magnitude. After 24 hours, this market will resolve according to the latest provided data.USGS data records just one earthquake of magnitude 5.5 or greater worldwide since April 27—a 5.7 off Papua New Guinea on April 30—with the period ending May 3 and roughly one day remaining. Trader consensus clusters around 4 (23.5% implied probability) and 5 (22%), reflecting historical baseline rates of approximately 12-13 M5.5+ events per week under the Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude relation, modeled as a Poisson process with high week-to-week variability. Absent aftershock sequences, swarms, or tectonic triggers like slab subduction surges, the close odds highlight uncertainty in late-period occurrences, with final USGS catalog revisions potentially adjusting counts. Monitor real-time feeds for May 3 updates.
