Chiliz is a cryptocurrency and blockchain-based platform that focuses on fan engagement and monetization in the sports and entertainment industry. Mediarex Group created Chiliz to bridge the gap between sports fans and their favorite teams by providing a platform (Socios.com) that runs on fan tokens.
Fan tokens are digital assets that represent ownership or access rights to certain sports teams or clubs. These coins allow fans to participate in various activities, such as voting on club decisions, accessing exclusive content, and engaging with fellow supporters. They also provide an avenue for sports teams to increase fan loyalty, generate revenue, and enhance the fan experience.
The sports fan engagement platform operates on the Chiliz blockchain, a Layer-1 EVM-compatible chain. The platform enables sports organizations to create and manage their own branded fan tokens.
Chiliz has partnered with various high-profile sports teams and organizations, including football clubs like FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Napoli, and Juventus, as well as other sport leagues such as Formula 1 and UFC.
Socios now counts on major American sports franchises as well like the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers from the NBA, the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers from the NFL, and the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils from the NHL.
CHZ, the native token of the Chiliz platform, serves as the utility token for various activities on the Socios platform. It is used for purchasing fan tokens, participating in token-based activities and promotions, and engaging with teams and other supporters.
