Milestones in the OKX-Chiliz partnership
The partnership between OKX and Chiliz has seen significant milestones that underscore their continued commitment to mutual growth. Notably, OKX has played a crucial role in improving the accessibility of Chiliz’s native token, CHZ, by facilitating spot trading since March 2021.
Subsequently, in October 2023, OKX extended its support to the Chiliz (CHZ) 2.0 mainnet integration, further strengthening their collaboration efforts. Furthermore, OKX has actively contributed to promoting community involvement within the sports domain by listing various fan tokens, including those of illustrious football clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur FC and Manchester City.
The Chiliz Chain embodies a groundbreaking platform that catalyzes new interactions between sports brands, gaming companies and their fan communities. Using blockchain technology, it facilitates the creation of fan tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized applications (dApps), enriching the fan experience with increased engagement and participation.
As OKX joins forces with Chiliz as a validator, the convergence of expertise and resources propels the SportFi ecosystem to new horizons of innovation and inclusivity.
By forging this partnership, OKX and Chiliz are paving the way for a dynamic convergence of blockchain technology and the sports and entertainment industry, fostering a landscape where fan engagement, tokenization and decentralized governance come together to redefine the future of sports fandom.
