Summary

Chiliz announced that it had successfully completed the 'Hacking PARIS' hackathon at the home stadium of PSG in France.
It was reported that the award-winning projects will soon be directly integrated into the Chiliz Chain-based ecosystem for live testing.
The CEO of Chiliz emphasized, "Web3 is no longer just a concept, but a real-life solution capable of changing the actual sports fan economic structure."

Global sports blockchain project Chiliz (CHILIZ) announced on the 18th that it has successfully concluded the hackathon 'Hacking PARIS,' held at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)'s home stadium, Parc des Princes.

The event ran for three days (local time) from July 11th to 13th, with a total of 236 developers from 16 countries participating.

The hackathon featured six categories: ▲Fan Token Utility, ▲DeFi, ▲Socios Wallet Integration, ▲AI-Based Sports Tools, ▲Fan-Created Content, and ▲Fan Popularity Award.

A variety of projects drew attention. Participants demonstrated prototypes or MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) based on the Chiliz Chain, proposing new fan experience models for the sports industry. Award-winning projects included 'FanScan,' which converts fans' actual spending activities into on-chain reward assets, 'Socrates,' an immersive football quiz game using fan tokens, 'Fan Passport,' which records fans' stadium visits and prediction activities, as well as SportsFi, a fan community-based platform, and Chiliz TV. These projects will soon be directly integrated into the Chiliz Chain-based ecosystem and undergo live testing.

During the event, there were also mentoring sessions led by Chiliz's technical team and a panel talk exploring the future of Web3. Gregory van der Wiel, a former PSG player now active as a crypto investor, remarked, "If clubs can directly own fan data, a truly fan-centric ecosystem can be realized."

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chiliz, stated, "Hacking PARIS was a stage that showcased the potential to change the structure of the real-world sports industry beyond technological development," and added, "Web3 is no longer just a concept, but a practical method for connecting with sports fans in real life."
