Chiliz, a leader in blockchain solutions for the sports industry, introduces GameUsed.com by Chiliz, a new service that will enable clubs and other sports organizations to authenticate official jerseys worn by sports stars and other collectibles through blockchain technology.
GameUsed.com by Chiliz will provide suppliers of sports collectibles with full digital authentication services. All items will be authenticated via embedded NFC chips, allowing fans and collectors to easily and quickly the authenticity of collectibles using their smartphones.
Once the collectibles have the NFC chip, GameUsed.com by Chiliz will issue their corresponding NFT on the Chiliz blockchain. Collectible NFTs will include customizable digital content related to the item, such as sports highlights or creative content, and will include a direct link to the corresponding proof of reserve for each item.
NFTs can be delivered to the customer for auction or sale through their own channels or through any NFT marketplace. GameUsed.com by Chiliz will be available to the 170+ partners of Socios.com and will become a decentralized database to certify the authenticity of sports collectibles.
GameUsed.com by Chiliz will thus provide a useful solution to teams and companies looking to directly bring the ownership of collectibles to the Web3 environment through NFTs.
GameUsed.com by Chiliz will provide inventory services for any pre-authenticated sports collectibles, securely storing inventory and providing proof of reserves and permanent insurance for all stored items. At the point of sale or delivery, GameUsed.com by Chiliz will provide direct logistical and technical on behalf of customers when an end redeems an NFT.
"We are extremely excited about the launch of GameUsed.com by Chiliz," said Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz and Socios.com.
"At Chiliz we are building one of the leading ecosystems for sports and entertainment, bringing together fans, sport teams, and sports commerce and service companies. Central to our strategy is to continue to launch services and technology that onboard traditional sports experiences and fan activities into the Web3 environment.
"We believe that blockchain technology can bring new ways for sports teams and companies to deliver ownership and engagement to fans, and by bringing blockchain authentication and distribution to sports memorabilia through GameUsed.com we are taking another important step forward in our offering."
In August 2022, Chiliz announced a 100 million investment in Barca Studios, Barcelona's digital content creation and distribution center, now called Barca Digital Entertainment, to drive the club's Web3 strategy.
Chiliz, which has more than 300 employees and nine offices worldwide, has increased its headcount by more than 70% in 2022 and will continue to grow in 2023 with the expected launch of the Chiliz Chain 2.0 (CC2) mainnet, the first blockchain specialized in the sports and entertainment industry.
CC2 will augment the utility of the native Chiliz $CHZ token, which will become the network enabler of a new, open, multi-vertical ecosystem in which major sports organizations will be able to create NFTs and Fan Tokens, as well as build DeFi products and Play2Earn games, create event programs, loyalty and merchandising.
