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 »

The Greatest Cycling Race Started Today

🎙️ Marquee Event of the Day

The First Tour de France – July 1, 1903
It began with 60 riders and six brutal stages. By the end, it had captured the imagination of a nation.

On this day in 1903, the first Tour de France was launched. The route was unforgiving. The equipment primitive. The prize modest.

But the impact? Monumental.

📌 Why This Matters

The Tour de France would grow into the world’s most prestigious cycling competition, blending physical agony, tactical brilliance, and stunning landscapes into one legendary race.

It gave birth to legends. To heartbreak. To controversy. And more than anything; it tested the human spirit on two wheels.
