What are Fan Tokens on Chiliz?

Fan Tokens are fungible assets specific to a particular team/club. Any sport organisation can create their own Fan Token and these tokens can be exchanged in lieu of the CHZ token to participate in different activities of the club. To earn Fan Tokens of a particular club, fans need to be a part of the Chiliz Blockchain, should possess CHZ tokens on the platform and have access to the Socios.com marketplace. Socios.com is the app/interface on which fans interact with their respective teams. The Socios.com is available both as an iOS app and Android app. Once fans own Fan tokens of their favourite team, they can be a part of contests, offers, giveaways hosted by that team.

Below is how the CHZ-Fan Token exchange process works.
