# Chiliz Chain in a nutshell

Chiliz Chain is a blockchain designed specifically for sports and entertainment. We bridge the gap between the sporting world and its fans through digital innovation and community involvement.

It focuses on enhancing fan engagement through tokenization, allowing fans to interact and engage with their favorite sports teams and clubs.

By using Chiliz Chain, teams can issue their own fan tokens, enabling supporters to participate in various decisions and access exclusive rewards and experiences.

## Chiliz Chain is:

* a self-sovereign blockchain. It provides security and safety to the elected validators.
* a distributed system with on-chain governance.
* compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It supports all the existing Ethereum tooling, with faster finality and reasonable transaction fees.
* interoperable with Ethereum Mainnet (and other chains in the future).

## 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/quick-start/chiliz-chain-in-a-nutshell.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.
