Alexandre Dreyfus (@alex_dreyfus): Locker Room World Cup Update

Locker Room World Cup Update @Chiliz & @socios community, I’ve seen your questions over the last few days regarding our Locker Room product and recent on-chain activity. You trace our smart contracts closely, and you deserve direct, transparent answers straight from me. Let’s clear things up. 🧵👇 Under MiCA compliance for EU public offerings, newly issued tokens require a Digital Token Identifier (DTI) and a crypto-asset white paper notified to the National Competent Authority at least 20 business days before publication or marketing. To obtain this DTI and draft the white paper, minting the tokens on-chain is a technical pre-requisite. This is why you have noticed visibility on-chain for $BELG and $SPAIN. However, please note: the minting of a token and notification of a white paper do not guarantee an offering will take place, nor does it mean a team contract has been signed. These steps are simply taken so we are prepared ahead of the World Cup, if the public offer is confirmed. I know some asked why we didn’t postpone the Locker Room FTO process to align with the potential future updates. It simply wasn't possible. They use entirely different FTO mechanisms; delaying them would mean rewriting Whitepapers, triggering critical launch delays. Of course, we want to make sure our loyal Locker Room participants are taken care of. For South Africa & Scotland stakers, your 10% bonus will be calculated using the CHZ price from the start of the FTO (May 21st) and will be allocated on June 9th - as planned. For all other potential remaining national teams we MAY launch in 2026, we are committing to a 10% Fan Token bonus for users who held their stakes continuously up until our May 21st snapshot (12:00 CEST). Here is how it will work to ensure total clarity: The Rule: You must participate in the upcoming FTO with the same amount of CHZ you staked. Example: If you staked 100 CHZ and commit 100 CHZ in the FTO, you will receive 110 CHZ worth of Fan Tokens. Any surplus CHZ committed beyond your staked amount won't qualify for the bonus. Timeline: The bonus airdrop will hit your wallets a few days after the respective FTO closes (TBC). Note: Due to local regulatory compliance, users in the UK are unfortunately excluded from this specific bonus structure. We place compliance and transparency at the heart of what we do. Sometimes this makes it harder for us and may appear confusing for you, but it is for the long term benefit and sustainability of Fan Tokens and the community. Navigating this new era of crypto compliance means some of our processes look different on-chain before they hit the headlines. Thank you for holding us to a high standard. We are adapting, protecting the ecosystem, and gearing up for a massive summer of football. 🌶️
