Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to YES if, at any point before January 1, 2028, the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) officially announces that one of the six remaining Millennium Prize Problems has been solved, or officially awards the Millennium Prize for its solution.
The remaining six eligible problems are:
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
Hodge conjecture
Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
P versus NP problem
Riemann hypothesis
Yang–Mills existence and mass gap
If no such official announcement of a solution or award of a prize is made by the CMI before January 1, 2028, this market will resolve to NO.
Note: Preprints, peer-reviewed publications, or claims of solutions that have not been officially recognized or awarded a prize by the CMI before the deadline will not qualify for a YES resolution.
Background
The Millennium Prize Problems are a set of seven mathematical problems established by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000, each carrying a $1 million reward. Only one problem has been successfully resolved to date: the Poincaré Conjecture, solved by Grigori Perelman in 2003, with the CMI officially awarding the prize in 2010 (which Perelman subsequently declined).
Under the official CMI rules, a proposed solution must be published in a qualifying peer-reviewed outlet, followed by at least a two-year waiting period to allow for community scrutiny and general acceptance before the CMI Scientific Advisory Board formally considers it for the prize.

Question on the resolution criteria before I size a position:
The criteria require an OFFICIAL announcement by CMI before Jan 1 2028, and explicitly exclude preprints/publications not yet recognized by CMI. Per CMI's own rules, a solution requires ~2 years of community scrutiny before the Scientific Advisory Board even considers it.
So: if a Millennium Problem is convincingly solved and peer-reviewed/published before the deadline — but CMI has NOT yet made an official announcement (because of its own 2-year waiting rule) — does this market resolve NO?
Asking to clarify before betting, since the market price seems to be trading on the "solved = YES" interpretation rather than the "CMI crowns it = YES" interpretation.
