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.

She changed the course of history—and paid for it with her life.

Marquee Event of the Day

May 30, 1431: Joan of Arc is burned at the stake.
On this day in Rouen, France, a 19-year-old peasant girl—accused of heresy and cross-dressing—was executed by the English. History would later remember her as a saint, a martyr, and one of the fiercest symbols of French resistance.

Why this matters:

Joan of Arc wasn’t supposed to matter.

She wasn’t royalty. She wasn’t a soldier. She wasn’t even literate.

But she had something even rarer: unshakeable belief—in her country, in her mission, and in the divine voices she claimed guided her.

At just 17, she convinced the Dauphin of France to let her lead troops into battle. She won. Repeatedly. Then she was captured, tried, and burned—by those terrified of what she represented: an unstoppable young woman who dared to rewrite the rules of war, gender, and power.

Her life was brief, but her legend never faded. Today, she is a national hero in France, a Catholic saint, and an enduring symbol of bravery against impossible odds.

But how much do you really know about her?

Do you know where she was born? Who she fought for? What led to her trial and execution?

Let’s find out.

👉 Take today’s Daily Quiz and step into the fire-forged legacy of one of history’s most compelling figures.
