Chiliz (CHZ) is a digital currency for sports, e-sports, entertainment platforms, and is adaptable across a wide range of industries. It aims to foster a blockchain ecosystem built for sports and entertainment.
Chiliz is currently an ERC20 token that acts as the exclusive crypto-asset set to power the Socios.com platform. Chiliz enables sports teams and other organizations to create their fan token that can be used as a medium of exchange within the community. When fans enter the Socios.com platform, acquire Chiliz tokens and then use them to exercise their voting rights, they become part of the crowd-managed decision engine for whichever organisation they’ve chosen to support. The in-app experience also allows for organizations to activate their offline fanbases with merchandise, giveaways, and exclusive experiences within the Chiliz ecosystem.
Notable partners include large football clubs like FC Barcelona, Paris Saint Germain, and Juventus F.C., which all have issued their fan tokens. These tokens are tradable on the Chiliz Exchange.
CHZ tokens run on both Binance Chain and the Ethereum blockchain.

Founded in 2018 by Alexandre Dreyfus, Chiliz is a digital currency for sports and entertainment. Chiliz believes that the fans have no influence over their favourite teams or players in the current sports and esports environment. However, the appetite to ‘activate’ fans as influencers exist. Chiliz aims to build a platform where fans get a direct vote in their favourite sports organizations, connect, and help fund new sports and esports entities.
In the 2nd quarter of 2018, Chiliz raised $66 million through Private Placement. After distribution to early contributors, CHZ was publicly listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges including Binance, BitMax & KuCoin.
The largest portion of the fund is being used to build a fan engagement & rewards app, Socios.com, which was launched at the end of December 2019. As the exclusive on-platform currency, fans can use CHZ to purchase these branded Fan Tokens, which give users influential decision-making power by allowing them to vote on polls Chiliz’s partners publish within the Socios app. Ownership also gives fans access to exclusive rewards, engagement, as well as gamification, social interaction, and leader board features etc.
Football clubs including Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are the first teams to join the platform to produce their Fan Tokens. Socios.com plans to onboard 50+ teams from football and other sporting verticals including esports and other conventional games such as cricket and the like.
At present, Chiliz has onboarded 19 Official Partners to Socios.com, held Fan Token Offerings for 11 of those partners.
Chiliz tokens are generated and distributed; the Socios.com platform moves past development milestones to enable Chiliz to Fan Token transactions & smart contract voting mechanisms. First major team partners sign on to participate in the platform including PSG and Juventus.
The Chiliz token becomes readily available for public purchase on exchanges. The Socios.com platform opens for a soft launch to the public, with the platform’s initial crop of cornerstone partner teams offering their Fan Tokens and enabling crowd guided voting on first decisions. The first European Football season with Socios.com-engaged teams begins.
With Chiliz now in organic circulation as a currency, Socios.com moves to expand its Fan Token economy and rewards-based offerings into new sports verticals - actively on-boarding team organizations from other globally followed sports including Cricket. The platform’s esports vertical moves to aggregate diverse partner types outside teams, including streamers & gaming brands.
Chiliz technology explained
Chiliz run its own permissioned instance of the Ethereum blockchain. This permissioned sidechain is the core of Socios.com. It hosts every team, league, game title or other organisation who connects with the platform, together with each organisation’s crowd voting mechanisms run as a semi-autonomous organization on this blockchain.
Both Vote Tokens and chiliZ tokens created in an Ethereum blockchain – in the main Ethereum network for the chiliZ token and in the chiliZ permissioned sidechain for the Vote Tokens.
Ethereum supports the Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism. Proof-of-Authority (POA) is a replacement for Proof-of-Work, which can be used for permissioned chain set ups. POA does not depend on nodes solving arbitrarily difficult mathematical problems, but instead uses a set of ‘authorities’ — nodes that are explicitly allowed to create new blocks and secure the blockchain. The chain had to be signed off by the majority of authorities, in which case it becomes a part of the permanent record.

At the beginning, validation is in the hand of the chiliZ team. The team might open their ecosystem and move to a consortium permissioned chain model. In this case validators would be trustful partners, chosen by the ChiliZ team, that would join the ChiliZ platform like Esport Teams or leagues.
