Chiliz (CHZ)
Fan tokens for sports. Own a piece of your team.
What is Chiliz?
Chiliz is the blockchain infrastructure behind fan tokens — digital assets that give sports fans voting rights and exclusive access to their favorite teams. Through the Socios.com platform, fans can purchase fan tokens for clubs like FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and dozens of other major sports organizations.
Fan token holders can vote on minor club decisions (like bus designs, warmup songs, or player of the match), access VIP experiences, earn rewards, and feel a closer connection to their team. It is not just crypto speculation — it is a new form of fan engagement that gives supporters a real (if limited) voice.
CHZ is the currency used to purchase fan tokens on Socios.com. Chiliz also operates its own blockchain (Chiliz Chain) optimized for sports and entertainment applications.
How Chiliz Works
Chiliz works like a digital fan club with real participation rights. Sports teams partner with Socios.com to create a limited-supply fan token. Fans buy these tokens using CHZ. Once you hold a fan token, you can vote on club decisions through the Socios app — things like choosing a new kit design, selecting music for the stadium, or picking player awards. It is not full governance (you are not choosing the manager), but it creates a tangible connection between clubs and their global fanbases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do with fan tokens?
Vote on club decisions through Socios.com (kit designs, stadium music, player awards), access exclusive rewards, enter competitions for VIP experiences, and trade tokens on exchanges. Each team's fan token is separate from CHZ.
Is CHZ the same as a fan token?
No. CHZ is the utility token used to purchase fan tokens on Socios.com. Each sports club has its own separate fan token (e.g., BAR for Barcelona, PSG for Paris Saint-Germain). CHZ is the currency of the ecosystem.
Where do I store CHZ?
CHZ is available as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and as the native token of Chiliz Chain. MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Ledger all support CHZ.
Can I sell or swap CHZ?
Yes. Swaps supports selling CHZ for fiat and swapping it for other tokens.
