Fan Tokens grant supporters in various sports sectors a degree of sway over their preferred clubs, leagues, or teams. Via the Socios.com platform, token holders can take part in specific organizational choices, such as selecting the track played after a goal in soccer or deciding on MMA bout matchups. Additionally, owning these tokens provides entry to exclusive opportunities, including training sessions and meetings with athletes.

The roster of major global sports entities issuing Fan Tokens on Socios.com continues to expand, featuring prominent names like FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Manchester City, UFC, ROUSH Fenway Racing, and Aston Martin, among others.

Chiliz ($CHZ) operates as an ERC20 utility token on the Ethereum blockchain, functioning as the digital currency for the Chiliz and Socios.com platform. The launch of this platform, together with other sports blockchain initiatives, has introduced a new class of asset known as the Fan Token. After joining the Socios.com platform, club partners that have not yet been announced conduct what is termed a Fan Token Offering (FTO). To obtain these Fan Tokens, supporters are required to buy $CHZ through a cryptocurrency exchange. These assets, which are tied to a specific team or club, represent a limited digital supply that grants entry to an encrypted ledger recording voting privileges and membership rights ownership.

Fan Tokens are issued on Chiliz Chain, a permissioned sidechain that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Currently, Chiliz Chain does not impose any transaction fees, which ensures that sending and receiving Fan Tokens remains both rapid and affordable.

Chiliz has stated plans to upgrade Chiliz Chain in the future, with the goal of becoming a leader in the sports blockchain industry. This development could potentially pave the way for additional functionalities, such as the minting of NFTs and staking options.
