An event contract is a financial contract whose payout depends on the outcome of a specific event, such as an election, a data release or a game. Most pay a fixed amount, usually $1, if a stated outcome happens.
On Polymarket every outcome is an event contract; in the US, exchanges that list event contracts, such as Kalshi and Polymarket US, are regulated by the CFTC [1][2].
