Welcome to the Chiliz Monthly Overview. A one-stop-shop for the community to get up to speed on the ecosystem’s latest launches, metrics, developments and more. All in one place.

Chiliz Chain is a layer-1 blockchain designed for sports and entertainment use cases. It allows teams, leagues and brands to create and manage digital assets, including fan-focused products.

The network supports Fan Tokens, which are official digital assets for major sports teams, including Paris Saint Germain ($PSG), Man City ($CITY), FC Barcelona ($BAR), Arsenal ($AFC), Inter Milan ($INTER) and more.

The network is compatible with Ethereum-based applications, and uses governance, proof-of-staked-authority and proof-of-stake hybrid systems, which helps keep the network efficient and predictable for high-volume consumer activity.

📰 What we’re watching: Chiliz has updated its strategy for the Chiliz Chain, its infrastructure for sports-related digital assets, including Fan Tokens, and RWA tokenization. 

The vision is organized around three focus areas: changes to Fan Token mechanics, expansion of Chiliz Chain’s role as a settlement network, and the tokenization of sports assets like media rights, stadium-related revenue and club equity.

📰 Why it matters: Chiliz is modifying how Fan Tokens function within its ecosystem. The new token mechanics are designed to adjust token supply based on match outcomes, with supply reductions following wins and increases following losses. These changes are intended to link token behavior more directly to team performance and create a gamified sports stock market.

The blockchain also plans to expand Fan Token availability beyond the Chiliz Chain. The company intends to spur liquidity and participation by issuing and transferring Fan Tokens across additional blockchains, starting this year.

Chiliz also plans to re-enter the U.S. market, and expects to announce Fan Token partnerships Stateside this year. The company also intends to launch soccer national team Fan Tokens ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

To further connect Fan Token activity to the network’s base asset, Chiliz plans to allocate 10% of Fan Token transaction revenue to ongoing CHZ token buybacks. This would introduce a direct link between Fan Token trading volume and demand for the network’s native token.

📰 The bigger picture: Chiliz is positioning its blockchain to support tokenized sports assets alongside Fan Tokens. In part, Chiliz Chain is being developed to support onchain trading, lending and collateralization, backed by infrastructure that would help it become more DeFi-oriented for platforms like decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and prediction markets.

The blockchain is planning to integrate Kayen, a community-operated set of DeFi protocols. Governance of these protocols is expected to be coordinated through the PEPPER token, which would allow token holders to participate in decisions around protocol parameters and fees.

Longer term, the company plans to introduce Fan Tokens that combine existing utility features with exposure to club revenue through tokenized structures.
