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 »

Goodbye Fidel. Hello Raúl.

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

On July 31, 2006, Fidel Castro transferred provisional power to his brother Raúl due to severe illness. It was the first time in nearly five decades that Fidel, a revolutionary icon and Cold War figurehead, relinquished control of Cuba.

📌 Why This Matters

Though temporary at first, this moment marked the beginning of the end for Fidel’s direct rule. Raúl’s eventual presidency would usher in reforms, some symbolic, others substantive, and set the stage for a new chapter in Cuban history.

🎯 How Well Do You Know the Castro Transition?
