YES if the USGS earthquake catalog records at least one earthquake with reported magnitude greater than or equal to 5.7, with an epicenter in Indonesia and an origin time at or after 00:00 UTC on September 1, 2026 and strictly before 00:00 UTC on September 4, 2026. A reported magnitude exactly equal to 5.7 counts, and equivalent records from other authoritative seismic agencies or major independent news outlets that confirm the event's time, location and magnitude are acceptable. Records that explicitly show the event's origin time is outside the specified window do not count. Otherwise NO.
How markets are built and settledPredictions close on Sep 1, 2026, and the market is expected to resolve on Sep 4, 2026. The outcome will be settled against earthquake.usgs.gov. For now, the crowd puts YES at 29%, based on 54 predictions.
