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.

Bond is more than a spy; he’s a global cultural symbol. The films reshaped action cinema, introduced blockbuster spectacle, and built one of the most recognizable brands in entertainment. From Cold War paranoia to high-tech villains, Bond reflects the fears and fantasies of his time.

The franchise’s longevity—spanning six decades—shows its remarkable ability to adapt while staying true to its formula: danger, glamour, and intrigue. Bond is as much about the times he lives in as the villains he fights.
