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 »

One of History’s Greatest Leaders

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

On July 18, 1918, Nelson Mandela was born in Mvezo, South Africa. From rural roots to the presidency, his life became a defining symbol of resistance, reconciliation, and renewal.

📌 Why This Matters

Mandela’s commitment to justice reshaped a nation and inspired the world. He endured 27 years of prison under apartheid and emerged not with vengeance, but with a mission to unite. In 1993, he won the Nobel Peace Prize, and a year later, he became South Africa’s first Black President.

Today, his name is synonymous with dignity, strength, and peaceful resistance.
