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 »

The Day Greenland Took the Lead.

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

Greenland Becomes Self-Governing – June 21, 2009
On this day, the Government of Denmark transferred expanded powers to Greenland, making it self-governing for the first time in modern history.

The new arrangement gave Greenlanders control over internal affairs, such as policing, judicial matters, and natural resource development. Symbolically and politically, it was a decisive step toward independence.

📌 Why This Matters

Greenland is often overlooked on the world stage—but that’s rapidly changing.

Its strategic Arctic location has drawn the attention of world powers like the U.S., China, and Russia. Its mineral resources are increasingly valuable in the green tech race. And its Indigenous Inuit population is reclaiming its language, culture, and political autonomy.

The 2009 home-rule agreement followed decades of internal mobilization and an overwhelming vote of public support.

It also marked a broader global shift toward Indigenous self-determination and post-colonial governance.
