Chiliz

Chiliz (CHZ) powers a blockchain for sports fan tokens; fans use CHZ to acquire club tokens on Socios.com and to pay gas.

Chiliz Chain is a blockchain for sports and entertainment. More than 60 teams, including FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, have issued fan tokens on it, which give supporters votes in polls and access to rewards. CHZ is the native token: it pays gas, is used to acquire fan tokens on Socios.com and is staked for governance.

The chain uses Proof of Staked Authority: a limited set of validators produce blocks, and holders can delegate CHZ to them. Rewards come from new CHZ and fees. Since 2024 CHZ has had inflation of 8.80% a year, falling to a 1.88% floor, while most gas fees are burned and 10% of fan-token proceeds fund CHZ repurchases and burns.

Chiliz raised about $66 million in a 2018 private sale. The SEC named CHZ as a security in its 2023 case against Coinbase, which was dismissed in February 2025. About 10.54 billion CHZ were in circulation in October 2026.
