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.

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day
On August 7, 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, without permission, safety gear, or fear.
📌 Why This Matters
Petit's act wasn’t just a stunt, it was a moment of poetry in motion. His defiance transformed brutal architecture into a stage, and in doing so, reminded the world of the human capacity for beauty, risk, and boldness.
