$BELG Fan Token™ Offering

The official Belgium Fan Token™ Offering (FTO) will begin via the Socios.com app on June 3, 2026 at 10:00 CEST and run for 24 hours until June 4, 2026 at 10:00 CEST, or until sold out. A total of 2,000,000 $BELG Fan Tokens™will launch with an issue price of USD $1.00 per token. 

The Fan Token Offering will take place in a two-wave format. During the first six hours of the offering, from 10:00 CEST to 16:00 CEST on June 3, fans will be able to purchase a maximum of 100 $BELG Fan Tokens™ per person. For the remaining 18 hours of the sale period, purchases will be unlimited, subject to availability. The subscription period will run from June 3, 2026 at 10:00 CEST until June 4, 2026 at 10:00 CEST, or until the allocation is fully sold out.

The claim period for purchased tokens will open on June 4, 2026 at 14:00 CEST and remain available until June 9, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. Any unclaimed tokens remaining after the close of the claim period will be distributed via airdrop beginning on June 10, 2026 at 10:00 CEST.

Building on the community Locker Room

As part of its commitment to the community, Chiliz has confirmed a 10% $BELG Fan Token™ loyalty bonus for eligible participants who held qualifying Belgium stakes as at the May 21, 2026 snapshot (12:00 CEST), under its recent Locker Room campaign.

Eligible users who participate in the FTO must participate with not least than the equivalent amount of CHZ they had staked on Belgium as at the snapshot date to receive additional Fan Tokens™ following the conclusion of the FTO, subject to applicable terms and local regulatory requirements.

The value of CHZ will be based on the CHZ/USD conversion rate applicable at the snapshot date. If the amount of CHZ subscribed during the FTO results in a lower $BELG Fan Tokens™ allocation due to CHZ price movements, eligible users will receive additional $BELG Fan Tokens™ via airdrop following the FTO to ensure the full 10% loyalty bonus is calculated against the May 21 snapshot rate.

Due to local regulatory compliance, users in the UK are unfortunately excluded from this specific Locker Room bonus structure.
