# Questions

### Is Lia free?

Yes. Lia is free to download and free to use. You earn $LIA by taking part, never by paying in.

### Can I buy $LIA?

No. Members earn $LIA in Lia; Lia Labs doesn't sell it to them. Anyone selling "$LIA" before the airdrop is not selling the real thing.

### Who else holds $LIA?

Besides the community's 50%, the supply is shared between the ecosystem and treasury (20%), liquidity (20%), the team and founders (5%) and investors who back Lia Labs, such as Titian Labs (5%).

### How much $LIA will there ever be?

1,000,000,000 $LIA, fixed. Half of it goes to the community: the airdrop and every reward in Lia. See [Supply and allocation](./supply-and-allocation).

### Which chain is $LIA on?

BNB Smart Chain.

### When can I move my $LIA to a wallet?

In the airdrop, planned for Q4 2027. Wallet linking opens in Q3 2027. Everything you earned arrives one for one, all at once, and Lia Labs pays the network fee.

### What if I link my wallet late?

Nothing is lost. Your $LIA waits in the app and is sent as soon as you link a wallet. There is no deadline.

### Do I need a crypto wallet to start?

No. Your $LIA builds up in the app. You'll only need a wallet when the airdrop comes.

### Does mining drain my battery?

No. A session is tracked on Lia's side, so it earns with the app closed and doesn't use your phone's power.

### How do I earn faster?

Mine every day, keep your check-in streak, walk with Strides and invite friends who will enjoy Lia. You earn every time they mine.

### Will Lia ever ask for my recovery phrase?

Never. Not in the app, not by message, not anywhere. Anyone who asks is not us.

### I'm a developer. How do I get my app into Lia?

Build a web app, add the Lia SDK with one script tag, test it with your own testers and go live in the Apps Center. See [Apps on Lia](./apps-on-lia).

### How do developers get paid?

You get 70% of each sale by default and 50% of what the ads in your app earn, paid monthly into your Lia balance. From Q1 2028 you can withdraw it to your own wallet. See [Payments](./payments#the-developers-share).
