1st Generation
Independent teams & disconnected tournaments
run around the world.
2nd Generation
Franchise teams are brought together to compete in organized game-specific leagues.
3rd Generation
Fan driven & fan controlled leagues and teams with concrete, meaningful and regular interactions between the two.
Esports fans deserve the power to manage teams via direct Voting
By 2020 we envision an esports landscape that is shaped not just by what games, teams, and leagues draw the highest viewership, but by those that most effectively activate and monetize their fan-base and make them the decision makers – the crowd management – behind their own competitive entertainment.
Our drive is to push to esports into this new reality via radical fan engagement, & the chiliZ platform will make this direct influence-as-engagement possible: A universal sports & esports “crowd-control” engine capable of giving fans direct voting rights to guide their favorite teams’ management & strategy decisions. Any league, any team & any game, realized with blockchain technology.
With chiliZ, fans can become Socios for esports – managers of any competitive entity that’s fueled by its Voting platform while teams, leagues & events from any corner of the esports landscape can monetize the fan demand for these Voting rights.

On an architectural level, the chiliZ ($CHZ) platform combines its core components across the public Ethereum and the chiliZ permissioned blockchains. The platform acts as a bridge between these two chains.
chiliZ ERC20 tokens are part of the main Ethereum chain and associated with transactions from fans funding & withdrawing from the platform, and aggregation of service & trading fees (monetization for partner organizations). The chiliZ Vault is also located on the Main Ethereum chain.
"Compared to other blockchains that have not delivered on use case promises, Ethereum is a proven technology running live applications by the thousands."
Thibaut Pelletier
Chief Technology Officer
The chiliZ permissioned sidechain is where Voting Tokens (Votes) are emitted & allocated to fans through the Voting queue, or acquired via trading in the Voting Marketplace.

Government support & local Token Sale execution
Working in a blockchain-friendly legislative environment
The chiliZToken Sale will be executed in Malta, where the Mediarex team has been based for over 12 years. Malta is an EU member nation with a pro-blockchain project exploration/ adoption government that is actively building regulatory and tech infrastructure to support these initiatives.
With roughly 25% of it’s national GDP driven by Financial Services, Fintech & Gaming sectors, Malta looks to support local blockchain entrepreneurial efforts as a long-term investment in it’s own economic growth & evolution.
The nation is currently in the process of formalizing these efforts into a ‘Virtual Currency Act’, paving the way for a first-of-its-kind auditing framework made specifically to regulate blockchain-driven investment operations such as Token Sales.
Operations inside the European Union
chiliZ & its parent company Mediarex Enterprises Ltd. are not an off-shore vehicle (not operating through Bermuda & Belize as a majority of Token Sales are) – instead working through the European banking system & under full regulatory oversight. All Mediarex company accounts are audited and publicly available.
