BROUGHT TO YOU BY…
Throughout history, trivia has always been more than a game.
In ancient Greece, scholars tested each other’s wit in symposiums. In 12th-century Baghdad, thinkers debated questions in bustling libraries. Even in medieval Europe, monarchs used riddles and logic games to assess the sharpness of their advisors.
Today, a new chapter in that centuries-old tradition is being written — one that blends human curiosity with cutting-edge Web3 technology.
We’re proud to announce the launch of the MOT Solana Token on Raydium, the official utility token of the Masters of Trivia platform. Built on the Solana blockchain and backed by a thriving global community of over 200,000 players, MOT is the first step in transforming trivia into an economic, educational, and social engine for the 21st century.

"History Will Absolve Me"
🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day
On July 26, 1953, Fidel Castro led a small group of rebels in an armed attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de Cuba. Though the attempt failed militarily, it marked the beginning of a revolutionary movement that would change Cuban—and global—history.
📌 Why This Matters
The “26th of July Movement” became the nucleus of the Cuban Revolution. Castro’s defiant courtroom declaration—“History will absolve me”—became prophecy. By 1959, Batista’s regime had collapsed. What began as a failed mission grew into one of the most iconic revolutionary victories of the 20th century.
