Event contracts settle to a dollar or to zero. There is no third print.

Kalshi is no longer a US-only club.
The same USD order books now take members from 140+ countries. A short list is still blocked — and a VPN is still a bad idea.

Kalshi vs Polymarket in 2026: the split is the passport, not the UI.
