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 »

Building the Presidency

👉 Marquee Event

George Washington—Revolutionary War commander and first U.S. president—dies at Mount Vernon.

📌 Why This Matters

Washington didn’t just lead; he limited himself. From resigning his military command to stepping down after two terms, he made peaceful civilian rule the norm.

Beyond the Headline

Early pillars under his watch: the Cabinet system, federal courts (Judiciary Act of 1789), fiscal foundations (assumption, federal credit, Bank of the U.S.), and diplomatic prudence (Proclamation of Neutrality, Jay Treaty).

🎯 How Much Do You Know About George Washington?

His Farewell Address warns against hyper-partisanship and permanent alliances. The two-term tradition stood until the 22nd Amendment made it law. Washington’s model remains the template for executive restraint.
