Download 2030 Manifesto
Eight years in. Just getting started.
In 2018, we proposed a radical idea: that fans deserved more than passive consumption. That blockchain could bridge the gap between clubs and their global communities. That a new digital asset could bring utility and value to holders, whilst also, and this is a dirty word in sports so stay with us, monetize global fan bases by providing a new revenue stream for global clubs.
Fan Tokens are the most successful digital asset class in sports. Offering utility, ownership, and belonging to crypto-loving sports fans, whilst also growing into a new liquid and globally traded digital asset class.

The 3 Pillars of Chiliz 2030
Pillar 1 – Fan Tokens
The next stage will empower fans to become active participants in the ownership economy. by giving clubs new tools to unlock capital from global markets and building the framework to make tokenized sports assets as liquid, transparent and accessible as any asset on Wall Street.
Growing distribution: more chains, more liquidity, more token holders
Omni-chain: in Q1 Fan Tokens will be available on other blockchains, starting with the leading high velocity chains. This increases the distribution and availability of Fan Tokens, expands liquidity and unlocks further DeFi opportunities.
Growing the asset class: more Fan Tokens, first US Fan Tokens
US Fan Tokens : 2026 will see our re-entry into the US market, supported by greater clarity and growing demand for digital assets. The first US partnership will be announced in Q1.
New National Team Tokens: This summer, look out for the launch of national team Fan Tokens on Socios.com as the locker room campaign comes to fruition, bringing a new wave of fans into the ecosystem ahead of a summer of football (or maybe this year we should say soccer?).
Growing the appeal of Fan Tokens: Linking tokenomics to what happens on the pitch
Gamified tokenomics: If the team wins, the tokens burn, if they lose, more are minted. Tokenomics based on live match outcomes via smart contracts makes the market feel more like sport itself: competitive, seasonal and transparent.
Pillar 2 – Chiliz Chain
General-purpose chains compete on volume. We compete on purpose.
Chiliz Chain will become the foundational settlement layer for sports finance. A purpose-built, institutional-grade ledger optimized for high-frequency tokenized IP trading. This includes Fan Tokens as collateral for advanced instruments, and native staking, lending, and liquidity protocols.
A virtuous cycle: As Fan Tokens succeed, the chain strengthens
10% of Fan Token Revenue to $CHZ buybacks: 10% of all Fan Token revenues generated ecosystem-wide will be earmarked for perpetual $CHZ buy-backs. This creates a virtuous flywheel where club activity generates fees, which fund buybacks and yield, creating scarcity that drives valuation and liquidity.
Native DeFi Infrastructure: Hosting advanced DeFi sports assets, including prediction markets, staking, and lending protocols.
A key pillar is Chiliz Chain community DeFi provider Kayen, which provides decentralized exchange functionality, lending protocols and liquidity tools purpose-built for sports assets. With community token $PEPPER positioned as the governance token for Kayen, a decentralized ecosystem is being created where the community has a voice and a stake in protocol development and fees.
Socios.com: A DeFi wallet that is the home of utility for Fan Tokens & connects the ecosystem
Socios.com 2030: The home of rewards and utility but also transitioning into a full SportFi hub: with live mint/burn tracking on match days, integrated DeFi wallet functionality, and native access to match-day predictions, performance staking and real-time leaderboards.
PILLAR 3 – Sports RWA & New Digital Assets
By 2030 it is estimated that more than $16 trillion of RWAs will be tokenized on-chain.
By transforming illiquid assets into digital tokens, we enable fractional ownership, unlock immediate liquidity and automate complex cash flows. Chiliz Chain is uniquely engineered to provide the institutional-grade infrastructure required to turn the locked value of sports franchises into liquid, global digital assets and new revenue streams.
Bridging utility and equity: A new RWA asset class for sports
Our long-term ambition is to combine Real World Assets with the sports ecosystem, creating a new bridge between ownership and fan engagement. Through minority stakes in clubs, asset holders could gain financial exposure to team success. By tokenizing these structured stakes, equity ownership becomes more accessible, while enabling distribution and liquidity across both digital ecosystems and external financial markets.

The next stage will empower fans to become active participants in the ownership economy. by giving clubs new tools to unlock capital from global markets and building the framework to make tokenized sports assets as liquid, transparent and accessible as any asset on Wall Street.
