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 Man Who Defied Hitler
👉 Marquee Event
On November 30, 1874, Sir Winston Churchill was born into the aristocratic Spencer-Churchill family at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
A soldier, statesman, orator, historian, and Nobel Prize-winning writer, Churchill’s legacy is most defined by his steadfast leadership during World War II, when he became Prime Minister in 1940 as Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany.
With a defiant spirit and unforgettable speeches—"We shall fight on the beaches..."—Churchill inspired a nation, forged key alliances, and helped steer the Allied powers to ultimate victory.
📌 Why This Matters
Churchill wasn't just a war leader, he was a symbol of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
His leadership style, sharp wit, and moral courage made him one of the most iconic political figures of the 20th century, earning him admiration even among former enemies.
Post-war, he returned to lead Britain once more (1951–55), wrote extensively (winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953), and remained a key voice during the early years of the Cold War.
🎯 How Much do you Know about Churchill?
💡 Did you know?
