Chiliz celebrates its 5th year anniversary with their Layer-1 EVM compatible blockchain launch and a new brand logo.
MALTA: Chiliz, the global blockchain technology leader in the Web3 sports and entertainment industry, is celebrating its 5th anniversary with a logo rebrand and an alert to brands and developers that the genesis block of the new Layer-1 EVM Compatible Chiliz Blockchain has been validated.
At the center of the rebrand is a new look logo, featuring the emblematic ‘chili’ with an angle bracket ‘>’ to symbolize the company’s commitment to code and development; the commitment to building the underlying infrastructure, products and network for sports and entertainment brands to thrive in Web3.
FanFest and LiveLike teamed up with Chiliz
The launch of the new chain will see further Web3 developers and brands joining Chiliz to build on their new blockchain and to gain access to its Web3 infrastructure along with its sports and entertainment network. During the second half of last year, US based company FanFest and fan engagement start-up LiveLike joined the Chiliz ecosystem to build Web3 products and services such as offering “watch to earn” blockchain-backed collectibles to broadcasters and media partners.
Through its fan rewards and engagement app Socios.com, Chiliz has issued Fan Tokens for some of the largest sports brands in the World. Socios works with more than 170 major sporting organizations, including FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Juventus, S.S.C Napoli, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Arsenal, Atlético Madrid, A.S Roma, the UFC, leading F1 teams and many more.
