Socios.com is a blockchain based fan engagement and rewards platform that partners with sports organizations to give their global fan base a ‘voice’ in the teams they love, recognition of their fandom from teams and the ability to leverage their engagement for rewards. All of this engagement is made possible via club-specific Fan Tokens, which Socios.com creates for partners and makes available for fans to purchase. Fans use Fan Tokens to vote on club decisions, while their ownership makes fans eligible to receive unique rewards in exchange for their engagement. Clubs open up a new revenue vertical, fans get a tradable share of influence and connection to the clubs they love; everybody wins.

What is a Fan Token?

Fan Tokens are a digital asset class specific to each of Socios.com’s partners (such as Juventus, FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico de Madrid and many others) whose ownership allows fans to vote on club decisions and redeem club-exclusive rewards via engaging in various Fan Token holder-only features such as ticketing raffles, cashback on official merchandise, photo contests, quizzes and more.

Partnership Overview:

canow will act as one of Socios.com’s official club acquisition partners and marketing agencies across Japan and Southeast Asia to on-board new clubs from the region onto the platform, and to educate those clubs’ fan bases on the value of Fan Token ownership to stimulate adoption.
