Frequently Asked Questions
What can you actually do with Fan Tokens?
Fan Tokens let you vote on minor club decisions (jersey designs, stadium music, charity partners), earn rewards and merchandise, and access VIP experiences and meet-and-greets. Some tokens offer gamified engagement with leaderboards and challenges. They don't provide equity, dividends, or influence over sporting decisions.
How does CHZ relate to Fan Tokens?
CHZ is the required currency for purchasing Fan Tokens on Socios.com. To buy a Barcelona Fan Token, you first buy CHZ, then exchange CHZ for the Fan Token. This creates structural demand for CHZ proportional to total Fan Token purchasing activity.
Is Chiliz just for football?
No — while European football clubs were the initial focus, Chiliz has expanded to NBA teams, UFC, F1 teams, esports organizations, cricket, and more. The platform targets sports engagement globally, though European football remains the largest segment.
