This market will resolve to “Yes” if Discord experiences any incident classified as a 'Major Outage' (red) as of the time it is marked as “Resolved” between market creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Only incidents affecting Discord services or components will be considered. A 'Partial Outage' (orange) does not qualify. Classifications of an incident while it is ongoing will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. Only classifications of events that are resolved will be considered. Qualifying incidents include outages and other issues classified as a 'Major Outage' (red) when they are resolved, during this market's above-specified timeframe. An incident resolved outside this market’s timeframe will only qualify if ongoing at this market’s resolution time, in which case the market will remain open until that incident is marked as “Resolved,” and resolution will be based on the first outage classification thereafter, regardless of subsequent revisions or corrections. Revisions that upgrade an incident’s outage classification to 'Major Outage' (red) will qualify if the incident was resolved and the revision is published within this market’s timeframe. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Discord (for example, on discordstatus.com or https://discordstatus.com/history); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Note: Discord’s “Partial Outage” classification is orange, while “Major Outage” is red. A Partial Outage does not qualify.Discord's history of third-party vendor compromises, including the October 2025 Zendesk incident exposing age-verification data for tens of thousands of users, continues to shape trader views on the likelihood of another critical security or service event by late September. Recent minor API errors, call connectivity issues, and a January 2026 information disclosure vulnerability highlight persistent platform risks, while the delayed global rollout of mandatory age verification adds potential new attack surfaces. Competitive pressures from rival chat platforms and broader cybersecurity threats to messaging services further influence sentiment, with upcoming regulatory scrutiny or unpatched exploits as key swing factors for market resolution.
