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 »

From Gulag to Glory

👉 Marquee Event

(Dec 11, 1918).

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, one of the 20th century’s most influential writers, was born in Kislovodsk, Russia. His life and works exposed the hidden machinery of Soviet repression and became a beacon of truth for generations.

📌 Why This Matters

Solzhenitsyn was more than just an author — he was a moral witness. After surviving nearly a decade in Stalin’s labor camps, he transformed his personal suffering into literature that could not be ignored. His masterpiece The Gulag Archipelago meticulously documented the horrors of the Soviet penal system, shaking the foundations of global perceptions of communism. By bringing hidden atrocities into the open, Solzhenitsyn helped spark broader human rights discussions and fueled the moral opposition to totalitarian regimes.

🎯 How Much Do You Know About Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?

In an age when censorship, propaganda, and narrative wars still dominate global discourse, Solzhenitsyn’s work feels urgent. He showed that the written word could pierce even the thickest walls of ideology. His legacy is a reminder that one courageous voice, armed with truth, can shift the course of history.
