Official Platform Documentation Version 1.0 — Production This document is the complete KiX GitBook — covering every section of the platform from onboarding to governance. It is structured as a user journey: read from top to bottom as a new user would experience the platform, or jump to any section directly. > **Not available in the UK.** KiX is not currently available to users based in the United Kingdom. If you are based in the UK, you will be unable to access the platform at this time. We hope to update this in the future. ## What is KiX? KiX is a skill-based football gaming hub — a platform where you own real footballer cards, compete in skill-based games, and earn rewards, all powered by the same love of football that drives the sport itself. This is not a fantasy league you forget about by Tuesday. This is a platform where your knowledge, your instincts, and your passion for the game actually translate into something real. KiX is built on **Chiliz Chain** — the blockchain built specifically for sports and entertainment fans. You do not need any Web3 experience to use KiX. If you can use a normal app, you can use KiX. KiX — Own Your Game. That's not just a strapline. It's a promise. > **KiX is skill-based, not gambling.** Every game on KiX rewards football knowledge — reading form, fixtures, and player performance — not chance. $KIX is a utility token used to play, not an investment. ## The Core Idea Every footballer on KiX has their own card — we call them DATs (Digital Athlete Tokens). A DAT is a footballer card that you actually own. It has a live price that moves with real-world demand. When a player is in form, fans want in, and when they're out of form, there's always a way to sell. You buy footballer DATs. You hold them. You use them to compete in games. And when you're done, you sell them — at whatever the live market price is at that moment. Your cards are yours. Your rewards are yours. The KiX platform cannot take them away. ## Four Things You Can Do on KiX KiX is built around four core activities. You can do all of them, or focus on the ones that suit your style. ### 1. Games Hub: Skill-Based Football Games In the Games Hub, users assemble a squad of footballer DATs and enter skill-based game competitions — Top 3, Teams, Duels, and more. The better your players perform in real matches, the higher your rewards and the higher you climb on the leaderboard. ### 2. Games Hub: Football Match Predictions Use your footballing knowledge to call match results before they happen. Get it right, and you earn a share of the pool. Predictions complement your DAT-based games with a simple, match-level way to play. ### 3. Trade Footballer Cards Buy and sell footballer DATs on the Market and build a portfolio that suits your style. Prices move in real time with demand from real trades — not a hidden algorithm. Back the players you believe in, and be rewarded when the rest of the football world agrees with you. ### 4. DAO Governance KiX is more than a gaming platform — it's a community with a democratic structure that gives users real ownership of the platform and the ecosystem around it. ## Why Ownership Matters Most football games give you digital items with utility that disappears when you leave the environment, or that you can never truly sell or transfer. KiX is different. When you own a footballer DAT on KiX, it is genuinely yours. You can sell it at any time at the live market price. You are not dependent on KiX to give you permission. The system that runs the platform is designed so that liquidity for footballer DATs is always there — there is always a way to sell. And it goes deeper than that. KiX is owned by its community through the KiX DAO — a community governance structure that gives $KIX holders a real say in how the platform evolves. The people who use KiX are the people who shape it. This is what Own Your Game means: * Own your cards * Own your rewards * Own a piece of the platform itself ## KiX — Own Your Game Football is the biggest game in the world. But for too long, fans have been spectators — watching from the outside, with nothing at stake and nothing to show for their knowledge. KiX changes that. Your understanding of the game, your eye for a player, your ability to read a fixture list — these are skills. And on KiX, they are rewarded. Whether you are a Sunday league manager, a data-driven analyst, or someone who has watched football their entire life and just knows — KiX is built for you. Welcome to the game. ## Important — Availability Notice **KiX is not currently available to users in the United Kingdom.** If you are based in the UK, you will be unable to access the platform at this time. We hope to update this in the future. *** *Next:* [*Getting Started*](/kix/getting-started/getting-started.md)
