CHZ Price

What is Chiliz (CHZ) coin?

Chiliz is a sports-and-entertainment blockchain ecosystem built around Fan Tokens, digital assets issued for sports teams since 2019. The Malta-based company behind it, The Chiliz Group Limited, operates the Socios.com fan-engagement platform and claims partnerships with more than 70 elite teams. CHZ is the native gas token of Chiliz Chain, an EVM-compatible Layer-1, and the currency for Fan Token purchases. DropsTab classifies CHZ under Blockchain, Sport, NFT and SEC security token categories.

How does Chiliz Chain work?

Chiliz Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain forked from BNB Smart Chain. Mainnet launched on May 10, 2023. The network runs on Proof-of-Staked Authority consensus, secured by 11 founding validators. CHZ powers gas payments and validator staking on this network.

What is the CHZ token used for?

CHZ serves three core functions. Holders pay gas fees for transactions on Chiliz Chain, stake CHZ to support validators, and use CHZ as the purchase currency for Fan Tokens on Socios.com. CHZ also circulates as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, with additional representations on Energi and Solana.

How do Fan Tokens work on Socios.com?

Fan Tokens are team-specific digital assets that give holders voting rights in club polls and access to rewards through Socios.com. CHZ is the settlement currency for Fan Token purchases. Chiliz announced in February 2026 that 10% of all Fan Token sale revenue on Socios.com funds CHZ buyback and burns. The program is issuer-announced and evidenced in Chiliz's own burn reports, the most recent published in July 2026.

What is CHZ's total supply and emission model?

CHZ launched with 8,888,888,888 tokens at its token generation event on July 1, 2019. There is no maximum supply cap. New CHZ enters circulation through block rewards, set at about 12,000 CHZ per day when mainnet launched. The Pepper8 governance hard fork amended this emission schedule. An uncapped supply carries structural inflation risk.

How does CHZ's vesting history affect sell pressure?

Per DropsTab vesting data, the Token Sale and Pre-Sale bucket holds 34.5% of supply, with 80% released at the TGE and 20% one month later. Seed tokens, 7.5% of supply, unlocked 50% at the TGE followed by 12-month vesting. Team (5%) and Advisors (3%) allocations vested monthly from 2019 into 2021. Because the major insider unlocks completed by 2021, unlock-driven sell pressure is minimal. Ongoing supply growth comes from block rewards, which PEPPER fee burns partially offset.

What is the PEPPER burn mechanism?

PEPPER is the fee-burn mechanism of Chiliz Chain. In each era, a share of network fees is converted into CHZ and burned, permanently removing those tokens from supply. Burned amounts counteract block-reward inflation but do not fully offset block-reward emissions. The PEPPER ecosystem token itself was distributed to CHZ holders at the mainnet launch as a one-time distribution.

Who backed Chiliz and how much did it raise?

DropsTab fundraising data shows $65,000,000 raised in a private sale in June 2018. The round sold 3,066,666,666 CHZ, 34.5% of supply, at about $0.0212 per token. YZi Labs, previously Binance Labs, led as a Tier 1 investor, joined by Jump Crypto (Tier 1), FBG Capital (Tier 2), OK Blockchain Capital and Ceyuan Ventures. Jump Trading separately announced a strategic investment in April 2021, and a Binance Chain partnership followed in May 2019.

Where can you buy CHZ?

Per DropsTab data, CHZ trades on more than 50 centralized spot venues, including Binance, Upbit, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX and Bybit, quoted against USDT, USD, KRW, TRY, EUR, GBP, JPY and BTC. Tier-1 venue coverage gives CHZ deep liquidity. Perpetual futures trade on Binance Futures, OKX, Bybit and Kraken Futures. On decentralized exchanges, CHZ swaps against USDC and WETH in Uniswap v3 and v2 pools on Ethereum, where the ERC-20 contract is verifiable on Etherscan.

Who is the CEO of Chiliz?

Alexandre Dreyfus is the founder and CEO of Chiliz. The operating company, originally incorporated as HX Entertainment Limited in Malta, was renamed The Chiliz Group Limited on October 7, 2025. The group registered a MiCA whitepaper with ESMA, and version 1.1 became effective on October 10, 2025, reflecting the Pepper8-amended inflation schedule.
