Introduction

Chiliz (CHZ) is a blockchain platform powering fan engagement and sports-related tokens through its Socios.com ecosystem. While Ledger Live does not natively support Chiliz (CHZ), you can securely store and manage your CHZ tokens by connecting your Ledger hardware wallet to MetaMask or Trust Wallet (via the Ethereum network, as CHZ is an ERC-20 token).

This guide will walk you through the steps to safely store, send, and receive CHZ using your Ledger device.
