Chiliz Brings CHZ to Solana Through Sunrise
CHZ, the native token of the Chiliz network, is live on Solana today through Sunrise. Chiliz is a Layer 1 blockchain for sports and entertainment, with major football clubs operating validators on the network and global sports brands building on the chain. The listing comes weeks before the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins across the United States, Canada, and Mexico in June.
PSG and K-League Help Secure Chiliz Chain
Chiliz Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 with 11 active validators. Paris Saint-Germain and K-League secure the network alongside independent infrastructure providers, two of the most globally recognized sports operators participating directly in the consensus of a public blockchain. Active partner relationships across the Chiliz network include Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City, Inter Milan, AC Milan, AS Roma, Atlético de Madrid, UFC, and PFL.
CHZ is the native asset of Chiliz Chain, used for gas and governance. It has traded on global exchanges since 2018, making it one of the longest-running sports and entertainment-themed assets in crypto.
A Canonical Solana Market for CHZ
Solana is where new tokens find their deepest onchain user base. A Solana market for CHZ extends one of the longest-tenured sports-and-entertainment networks in crypto into the venue where day-one onchain liquidity is deepest.
Through Sunrise, CHZ arrives with canonical market status and live liquidity. Solana users can trade CHZ against any Solana-native asset without touching Chiliz Chain; CHZ can also move between Chiliz Chain and Solana in either direction through Sunrise. The listing arrives in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the largest tournament in the event's history, hosted across three countries in North America.
