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 Token on GeckoTerminal, 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 DEX (decentralized exchanges): secure them tokens early: See MOT Token »
Remembering Paul Newman
Paul Newman Passes Away
On this day in 2008, legendary actor and philanthropist Paul Newman passed away at the age of 83. Best known for films like Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Newman was more than a screen icon, he was a real-life humanitarian whose charitable work rivaled his cinematic fame.
📌 Why This Matters
Newman wasn’t just a pretty face. With his piercing blue eyes and rebellious charm, he helped redefine what it meant to be a leading man in postwar America. Off-screen, he co-founded Newman’s Own, a food company that donated 100% of profits to charity, raising over $500 million to date. His legacy lives on as a model of how celebrity can serve the greater good.
🎯 How Well Do You Know Paul Newman?
Paul Newman’s career spanned five decades, six Oscar nominations, and one well-earned win—for The Color of Money. But perhaps his most enduring role was that of a philanthropic trailblazer. He showed that doing good doesn’t have to be quiet—or boring.
