Chiliz Utilizes NFT Tickets at KLPGA Tournament…Establishes Real-world Usage Base with Npay Wallet

The global sports and entertainment blockchain company Chiliz (CHILIZ) announced on the 15th that it has successfully implemented a sports Web3 model based on the Chiliz Chain together with the Npay Wallet at the official Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) tour.

Previously, last year, Chiliz signed a strategic partnership with Npay and had been pursuing a Web3 model that can be applied to actual sports venues. This achievement marks the first case where non-fungible tokens (NFTs) issued on the Chiliz Chain have been used as tickets for official domestic sporting events.

At the '2025 NH Investment & Securities Ladies Championship,' held from the 9th to the 11th at Suwon Country Club, NFT ticket reservations and easy entry were enabled through the 'Npay Wallet.'

Spectators were able to collect digital art-style NFT tickets issued for each round, and these NFTs minted on the Chiliz Chain were automatically stored in the Npay Wallet. The NFTs can also be kept as digital souvenirs even after the event ends.

In particular, limited edition NFT art was given to VIP lounge ticket holders, distinguishing them from general admission. In addition to the matches, there were various hands-on experience-type events at the Npay event booth and on-site participatory programs such as the 'Green Ball Challenge' to find NFTs installed at five places on the golf course.

On-site events were also held for spectators. Chiliz provided round-trip flight tickets, 5-star hotel accommodations, and VIP entry tickets—including European FC direct match tour packages—through a lottery event for Npay Wallet users.

A Chiliz representative said, "Chiliz is actively supporting related technologies and services at sports sites, as fan tokens, NFTs, and more can go beyond simple digital assets to drive real fan engagement experiences."
