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 Token on GeckoTerminal, 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 DEX (decentralized exchanges): secure them tokens early: See MOT Token »

France’s Fierce Saint

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

August 26, 1429 – Joan of Arc and her forces reach Paris

As part of Charles VII’s campaign to drive out the English, Joan led troops to the capital’s doorstep. Though her assault on Paris would ultimately fail, it showcased her relentless spirit and fearless leadership.

📌 Why This Matters

Joan of Arc was not just a symbol, she was a strategist, a field leader, and a political force. Her arrival at Paris shows us not only her boldness but also the tensions and divisions within French leadership that hampered her success.

🎯 Something That Makes This Day Special

Joan wasn’t from nobility. She had no formal military training. Yet kings listened, soldiers followed, and enemies feared her. August 26 reminds us that greatness often wears unfamiliar armor.
