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 »

Kim Il-Sung Dies, But His Rule Lives On

📌 Why This Matters

Kim Il-Sung’s political legacy is embedded in every part of North Korean life: the Juche ideology, the military-first doctrine, and the family-run dynasty that continues to dominate the nation today.

Understanding his reign is key to understanding one of the world’s most secretive and volatile regimes.

Dive into today’s quiz to test your knowledge of the regime, its founder, and the myth that became policy.
