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.

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

Normandy, 1944: They didn’t know if they’d come home

Marquee Event of the Day

June 6, 1944: D-Day: Allied forces land in Normandy.
The largest seaborne invasion in military history began on this day, launching the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.

Why this matters:

D-Day wasn’t just a military operation—it was a turning point for civilization.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, over 150,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy in a carefully coordinated assault. Codenamed Operation Overlord, it marked the beginning of the end for Hitler’s Third Reich.

The scale was immense: 5,000 ships, 11,000 aircraft, and five brutal beachheads—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.

But beyond strategy and logistics, D-Day was a gamble paid for in courage and blood. Young men, many barely 20, ran into gunfire for a future they would never live to see.

Their sacrifice opened the way for the liberation of France and, eventually, victory in Europe.

How much do you know about the day that changed history?
