# Wrapped CHZ (wCHZ)

{% hint style="info" %}
**In short**\
Wrapped Chiliz (wCHZ) is a tokenized version of the Chiliz cryptocurrency, designed to work like regular ERC-20 tokens while keeping its original value. This makes it more versatile and useful for developers, similar to other wrapped tokens like wETH or Wrapped BNB.

## What Is Wrapped Chiliz (wCHZ)? <a href="#header-0" id="header-0"></a>

wCHZ is the wrapped version of Chiliz.

Wrapped tokens, such as wCHZ and wETH, are tokenized versions of cryptocurrencies that are pegged to the value of the original coin and can be unwrapped at any point. Almost every major blockchain has a wrapped version of its native cryptocurrency like Wrapped BNB, Wrapped AVAX, or Wrapped Fantom.

The benefits of this is that developers are able to use an ERC-20 (or CAP-20) version of the native token CHZ, giving the token the benefits that other ERC20 tokens posses and removes the limitations of a native token, while retaining the same price value as the original CHZ.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chiliz.com/learn/glossary/wrapped-chz-wchz.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
