What is Chiliz Chain?
Chiliz Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain developed by the Chiliz team, specifically designed for the sports and entertainment industry. It enables the creation of fan tokens, NFTs, and other digital assets, allowing sports teams, leagues, and entertainment brands to engage directly with their fans through dApps and blockchain tech.
The Technology Behind Chiliz Chain
The technology behind Chiliz Chain is built on a fork of the BNB Chain, using the Proof-of-Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism. Developed by the Chiliz team with assistance from ANKR, the network operates with 11 validator nodes responsible for block production and consensus. This structure ensures scalability and security while catering to sports and entertainment applications.
Fan Tokens: The Heart of Chiliz Chain
Fan tokens are central to Chiliz Chain, enabling fans to engage with their favorite sports teams in innovative ways. Leading European soccer teams, like Manchester City and FC Barcelona, have launched fan tokens, allowing holders to participate in club decisions through polls and surveys. These votes can influence team merchandise designs, stadium songs, MVP awards, and game-day experiences, with greater token holdings giving fans more voting power.
In addition to voting rights, fan tokens offer exclusive access to VIP experiences, such as stadium tours and player meet-and-greets, as well as behind-the-scenes content. Token holders can also enjoy rewards like discounts on merchandise, priority ticket sales, and opportunities to win signed memorabilia and other prizes, enhancing the overall fan experience
Chiliz Chain's Ecosystem
The Chiliz Chain ecosystem extends beyond fan tokens, encompassing a variety of dApps in health, entertainment, and sports. While fan tokens remain central, these dApps, such as PUML enhance the ecosystem by offering unique services and experiences for users. KAYEN Protocol, a DEX built on Chiliz Chain, facilitates token trading. Socios provides an exchange and app for fan token holders to engage directly with their favorite teams. Together, these platforms and dApps create a robust, interactive environment for fans, token holders, and developers.
