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.

Ray Bradbury warned us. Did we listen?

Marquee Event of the Day

June 5, 2012: Ray Bradbury dies at 91.
Author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and dozens of other visionary works, Bradbury’s words helped define 20th-century science fiction.

Why this matters:

Ray Bradbury didn’t just imagine the future—he warned us about it.

With no college education and a typewriter in his basement, Bradbury built worlds that felt eerily familiar. His stories were never just about rockets or robots—they were about us. Our fears. Our censorship. Our obsession with speed, screens, and silence.

In Fahrenheit 451, he gave us firemen who burn books. In The Martian Chronicles, he explored colonization, racism, and the arrogance of man in space. He predicted earbuds, ATMs, and even political polarization long before these things became daily reality.

Bradbury once said, “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”

He was a dreamer. A dystopian. A poet disguised as a sci-fi writer.
