Chilliz, a fan engagement-focused project announced a collaboration with the gaming cryptocurrency Enjin Coin. Starting with Socios.com, Chilliz will use Enjin’s blockchain development platform to create branded collectibles for world-known sports and entertainment industry partners. Noteworthy, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético de Madrid and Dota 2 champions OG are among them.
This new partnership brings Chiliz in the position to offer branded non-fungible tokens to the full roster of Socios.com which includes some of the biggest names in football including esports and the Entertainment industry. A.S Roma and Galatasaray are also among them.
Chillz will announce another major partnership this February and by the end of 2020, they aim to target 50 IPs. The collectibles will be NFTs using the ERC-1155 Token standard which was initially developed by Enjin and officially adopted by the Ethereum community.
The upcoming collectibles will be freely tradable on the EnjinX Marketplace with both ENJ and CHZ supported as payment methods.
“Earlier this year, we announced a plan to improve and expand the utility of CHZ in 2020 and beyond. We are thrilled to be working with Enjin, the world leader in this space, to bring this to fruition. We will also be launching limited-edition licensed collectibles and tokenizing the club-specific rewards and experiences offered through Socios.com. For example, if one of our partner clubs triumphs in their respective league, we can create unique tokens to celebrate the win, as well as tokens to celebrate player achievements or seasonal football prizes.”
Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz & Socios.com.
The Enjin Platform
Enjin is a leading force in the NFT field with a series of development tools that allow games, businesses, and individuals to harness the power of next-generation ownership. Enjin has already created the “Azure Heroes” with Microsoft to reward community-members with ERC1155 Non-fungible tokens.
More than 2,500 projects are already been created on the Testnet of Enjin’s platform with the Main Net launch to be around the corner. More specifically, Enjin has confirmed the launch for this month.
In October 2019, Enjin received an investment from Blockchain.com Ventures and the development continues in fast-pace. The Gaming Multiverse is growing and gamers enjoy playing multiple games with a single item that belongs to them, and not to the games!
The Unity SDK by Enjin allows developers to integrate blockchain assets into their games, including a decentralized economy hassle-free. There is also a Java SDK along with EnjinCraft, the world’s first blockchain-powered Minecraft server.
“Forged in digital entertainment, the Enjin ecosystem offers incredible opportunities to almost all industries and applications. As one of the earliest forms of entertainment, sports is a perfect fit for both our brand and our expanding collection of blockchain gamification use cases. We are delighted to collaborate with Chiliz and explore a new way to gamify sports and esports fan engagement, and we look forward to working with them to produce unique collectibles that fans can cherish and enjoy.”
Maxim Blagov, Enjin CEO.
