Accept Chiliz (CHZ) payments
Chiliz (CHZ) is the token behind Socios.com and the club fan tokens sold there. It started as an ERC-20 on Ethereum and is also the native coin of Chiliz Chain, Chiliz's own network. easyway accepts CHZ as an ERC-20 on Ethereum with the same checkout and API as ETH and the stablecoins. Below: the contract that counts, why Chiliz Chain doesn't, and the numbers.
Token, network and limits
| Token | Network | Contract | Confirmations | Min. withdrawal | Withdrawal fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CHZ (Chiliz) | Ethereum · ERC-20 | 0x3506424F91fD33084466F402d5D97f05F8e3b4AF | 12 | 47 CHZ | 160 CHZ (flat) |
This is the address CoinGecko and Trust Wallet's token list give for Chiliz on Ethereum. It is a plain ERC-20 with 18 decimals, a fixed supply of 8.888 billion CHZ and no proxy. No fee is taken on a transfer, so the amount the customer sends is the amount that arrives. The contract has a pause switch, as USDT does; it is not paused.
Ethereum yes, Chiliz Chain no

Fans who use Socios often hold their CHZ on Chiliz Chain. It is EVM-compatible, so its addresses look exactly like Ethereum ones and a wallet will happily send Chiliz Chain CHZ to the invoice address. Those coins then sit on Chiliz Chain and the invoice stays open. To pay, the customer sends CHZ with Ethereum (ERC-20) as the network, for example by withdrawing from an exchange; the guide to paying from an exchange walks through choosing the network.
Amounts and fees
On a USD invoice the CHZ amount is locked from the exchange rate when the customer selects the coin, and the checkout shows the exact amount to send. Transfers under 1 CHZ are skipped as dust; several larger ones add up, and the invoice is paid after 12 confirmations, usually a few minutes. Short or late payments follow the underpaid and late payments guide.
CHZ is not a stablecoin: the payment is credited and later withdrawn in CHZ, so later price moves are yours. The platform fee is a flat 0.5% of each confirmed payment: 10,000 CHZ received leaves 9950 CHZ on your balance. A withdrawal costs a fixed 160 CHZ, which covers the Ethereum gas of one token transfer. Every coin's numbers are on the pricing page; how they compare with other gateways is in crypto payment gateway fees, compared.
Integrating
Nothing is CHZ-specific: create an invoice with the API (or a payment link if you don't write code), send the customer to the hosted checkout and deliver when the signed invoice.paid webhook arrives. To price an invoice in CHZ itself, pass currency = "CHZ_ERC20"; to show only CHZ at checkout, pass allowed_assets with "CHZ_ERC20". Runnable examples are in the quickstart, and the step-by-step guide covers a whole website integration.
Common questions
Is easyway connected to Chiliz or Socios.com? No. easyway is independent and only receives the CHZ token as a payment for your own goods or services.
Where is the CHZ kept after a payment? On your easyway balance until you withdraw it. Live withdrawals only go to addresses you whitelisted with two-factor authentication; see security. Other tokens on the same Ethereum addresses: Axie Infinity (AXS), ApeCoin (APE) and The Sandbox (SAND).
