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.

👉 The Token is now live on Raydium — secure your tokens early: See MOT Token »

Why Is This Historic?

Because, for the first time, a trivia platform is:

✅ Giving players real utility and influence through token-based governance
✅ Offering access to exclusive challenges, tournaments, and community rewards
✅ Introducing a knowledge economy rooted in participation, merit, and fair play

And it’s all live now, with real users, a working platform, and a global roadmap.

It’s worth noting that throughout history, the pursuit of knowledge has always evolved alongside the tools that power it. The MOT token isn’t just a token — it’s a natural continuation of the world’s oldest pastime: testing what we know, together.
