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 »

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

Michael Phelps Is Born – June 30, 1985
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Michael Phelps would become a global icon, earning 28 Olympic medals across five Olympic Games.

Known for his incredible wingspan, efficient stroke, and laser focus, Phelps wasn’t just a swimmer, he was an athletic phenomenon.

📌 Why This Matters

Phelps’s story is a blueprint for discipline, ambition, and recovery. He began training at age 7. He made his first Olympic appearance at 15.

He dominated Athens, Beijing, London, and Rio, then opened up about his struggles with depression and burnout.

In doing so, he didn’t just set a gold standard in swimming, he humanized elite athleticism.
