# Lia Labs

> **In short**
> Lia Labs is a global web3 company. It builds Lia, backs the builders creating what comes next, and rewards the people who show up early with $LIA.

## Three things, done well

### We build Lia

An app anyone can use to mine, walk, play and earn $LIA, in their own language. Lia is the front door: the place people meet web3 for the first time, and keep coming back to.

### We back builders

Funding, guidance and tools for the teams building on Lia, so they can grow without worrying. Their apps run inside Lia, in front of a community that wants in early. See [Backing builders](./backing-builders).

### We reward early

The people who show up first earn $LIA for it, never by paying in.

## How the pieces fit

Members bring attention and energy. Builders bring new things to be early to. Lia Labs connects the two: it gives builders an audience and payments, and gives members a steady stream of new apps, games and projects. $LIA runs through all of it, as the reward members earn, the currency they spend in apps, and later the way holders have a say in what Lia Labs builds and backs next.

> **Note**
> Lia Labs' wider portfolio grows over time. Projects it launches or backs are announced in the app first.
