# Setting Up your Wallet for Chiliz Chain

Chiliz Chain is a blockchain designed specifically for the sports and entertainment industry.

It powers the [Socios.com platform](https://www.socios.com/), where fans can buy and trade Fan Tokens for their favorite sports teams. These tokens give fans access to exclusive experiences.

{% hint style="info" %}
Even though you can use other wallets, MetaMask is the one we recommend.\
This guide assumes you are using MetaMask. The process is similar for other wallets.
{% endhint %}

By default, MetaMask is not configured for Chiliz Chain, as for many other blockchains.\
Therefore, you need to configure your wallet to work with Chiliz Chain.

If you haven't, you need to first install and set up your MetaMask wallet:

Once it is done, follow our guide below.
