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.

👉 The Token is now live on Raydium — secure your tokens early: See MOT Token »

Science or Catastrophe?

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

On July 15, 1945, the United States detonated the first atomic bomb at the Trinity test site near Alamogordo, New Mexico. It marked the beginning of the nuclear age and the culmination of the Manhattan Project, a top-secret wartime effort involving over 130,000 people across the U.S.

📌 Why This Matters

The Trinity Test wasn’t just a technological breakthrough, it was a philosophical rupture. The successful detonation of an atomic bomb introduced humanity to a new kind of power: one capable of annihilation on a previously unthinkable scale. Within weeks, this power was unleashed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending WWII, and beginning a nuclear era that still defines global politics today.
