CHZ is Going Native

The Chiliz token is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain, whilst Fan Tokens are minted on Chiliz Chain, an EVM-compatible blockchain. We are currently in the process of transitioning towards a new and upgraded version of Chiliz Chain (Chiliz Chain 2.0) that will see these two giants (CHZ & Fan Tokens) come together. We will be staying as an EVM-compatible chain (Ethereum Virtual Machine) as it enables us to benefit from the Ethereum ecosystem through cross-chain interoperability. The new and improved blockchain will provide faster TPS and lower transaction costs than Ethereum. We are also believers in Ethereum as a technology and an ecosystem and want to expand the potential of the future of a multi-chain ecosystem.

The new Chiliz Chain utilises a Proof-of-Staked-Authority (PoSA) consensus which offers optimal scalability, a governance structure, staking, speed, expanding the utilities of CHZ as well as Fan Tokens, also providing more Web3 opportunities for the whole sports & entertainment industry.

Still, in its testnet phase, the chain will go through a total of six stages until it reaches the mainnet launch.

ChilizX will be one of the first exchanges supporting Chiliz Chain 2.0.

The New Chapter of Chiliz Exchange — Introducing ChilizX

Typical crypto exchanges try to capture as large of an audience as possible by embracing different communities and web3 niches, rather than focusing on one specific niche. Our niche is Fan Tokens, so our focus is much more concentrated on Fan Token holders and the Fan Token community enabling us to direct the product in a more meaningful manner.

ChilizX provides a professional trading platform for a wide selection of 59 Fan Tokens, including some of the most traded ones right now, like the Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token PSG, Manchester City’s CITY Fan Token, Argentinian National Football Team ARG, Barcelona’s BAR, etc. ChilizX is the liquidity source for the marketplace on Socios.com, so all the tokens available on Socios.com are supported with more comprehensive tools on ChilizX.

Three order types — limit order, market order, and stop-limit order are supported on the exchange to meet different trading preferences. Aside from the Fan Token trading pairs, other major token pairs are also supported for the convenience of the user’s needs, including BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and CHZ/USDT.

In the near future, more sports-oriented features will be added to ChilizX to better fit the unique needs for sports & entertainment assets in the world of web3. Stay tuned for the latest updates by following ChilizX on Twitter.

About Chiliz

Chiliz started as an idea and a vision about how the tokenization of sports teams would improve fan participation and the ability to reward fan loyalty. Following the inception of CHZ, we saw a fantastic opportunity to create team-branded tokens revolving around sports teams and thus, a new web3 ecosystem was born — Fan Tokens.

Some of the most successful sports organisations in history have launched their tokens within our ecosystem. Clubs like Manchester City, PSG, Juventus, F1 teams, leading esports teams, and many more are all involved. We’re proud to say that we’re the innovators of this new ecosystem, and we’re working tirelessly to expand it.

We can’t simply mention Fan Tokens without mentioning Socios.com — the world’s first fan loyalty and rewards platform that enables the biggest sporting properties to plug into a fan influence and rewards ecosystem, where fans can get closer to their favourite clubs using team’s Fan Tokens to take part in club decisions all while earning exclusive rewards. Socios.com was also the first consumer-facing app built on the Chiliz Chain.

Company Background

Founded in 2018, Chiliz gained momentum following a private placement of $66 million and grew into the massive ecosystem it is today, covering over 150+ sports partners after years of building. Socios.com — the flagship product of Chiliz Chain is powered by the native token $CHZ, is where global fans can use Fan Tokens to engage with their favourite teams innovatively and earn exclusive rewards & experiences.

Chiliz and Socios are featured at some of the biggest venues of the most successful sporting organisations in the world. The path to success started following the partnerships with Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus. After these football giants said yes, interest showed in clubs all around the world, like Inter and Roma in Italy, Atletico Madrid in Spain, Galatasaray in Turkey, Manchester City in the UK, and many others.

Aside from football, we are present in nearly all sports and entertainment categories. Our USA partner roster includes renowned names like the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers from the NBA. Many teams from the NFL, MLS, NHL, and others are also part of this fantastic story.
