what's Socios?
Socios is a blockchain-based fan engagement platform that enables sports and esports fans to interact with their favorite teams through Fan Tokens. These digital assets, built on the Chiliz blockchain, allow users to vote on team decisions, access exclusive rewards, and participate in challenges. Fans acquire Fan Tokens by exchanging the native Chiliz token ($CHZ), fostering a direct connection between supporters and organizations. The platform operates via a mobile app where users can hold, trade, and stake Fan Tokens to earn loyalty points redeemable for experiences like meet-and-greets or merchandise. Socios partners with major sports clubs worldwide, launching team-specific tokens through Fan Token Offerings (FTOs). This utility-driven ecosystem emphasizes community governance and gamification, enhancing fan loyalty without relying on traditional ticketing or sponsorship models.
Chiliz will present its "2030 strategy," a major ecosystem bet including Socios, in Jan 2026.
