Abstract
In short Lia is a free app where anyone can get in early on web3. People earn $LIA by mining, walking, checking in, playing and inviting friends. $LIA is earned, never bought. Its total supply is 1,000,000,000 $LIA on BNB Smart Chain, and it comes in two phases: first a balance in the app, then an airdrop to each member's own wallet.
Most people hear about the next big thing in web3 after it's already big. The early days, when taking part is easy and the upside is real, tend to belong to a small group who already know where to look. Lia Labs exists to change that.
Lia Labs is a global web3 company. It builds Lia, an app anyone can use in their own language to take part early, and it backs the builders creating what comes next, so there is always something new to be early to. The people who show up first are rewarded with $LIA, the token of Lia Labs.
This paper sets out how that works:
- The Lia app. Mining sessions of 8 hours at 5 LIA an hour, Strides for walking, a daily check-in with streaks, a daily spin, tasks and quizzes, invites and leaderboards, friends only chat and games. See The Lia app and Mining.
- Builders. Web apps run inside Lia with the Lia SDK, take payments in $LIA on Lia's own pay sheet and can be funded by Lia Labs. See Apps on Lia.
- $LIA. A fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 $LIA on BNB Smart Chain, earned in a mining phase and then sent to members' own wallets in the airdrop. Half of all $LIA, 500,000,000, is set aside for the community, the airdrop and rewards. See $LIA, Two phases and Supply and allocation.
- The road ahead. From launch in Q4 2026 to $LIA governance in Q1 2029. See the Roadmap.
Note In the airdrop, planned for Q4 2027, every real, unique member receives the $LIA they earned, one for one, fully unlocked, with the network fee paid by Lia Labs. The team and founders and investors receive nothing in the first year after it. See The airdrop and Supply and allocation.
Important Lia will never ask for your recovery phrase or private keys, and there is nothing to buy to take part. Anyone who asks is not us.
