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 »

Georgia on Our Mind?

On September 23, 1930, Ray Charles Robinson was born in Albany, Georgia. He would go on to become one of the most influential musicians in history—pioneering soul music by fusing gospel, R&B, jazz, and blues like no one before him. Blinded by age 7 and orphaned by 15, Ray Charles overcame unimaginable odds to become an American icon.

📌 Why This Matters

Ray Charles was more than a musician. He was a cultural force.

He broke genre boundaries, challenged racial segregation by refusing to play segregated venues, and helped lay the foundation for the civil rights era of music. From Georgia On My Mind to Hit the Road Jack, his music carried both joy and justice.

🎯 How Well Do You Know Ray Charles?

Few artists have ever had the nickname “The Genius” and actually lived up to it. Ray Charles did, winning 17 Grammys, inspiring artists across genres, and leaving a timeless legacy etched in both American music and social history.
