# Mainnet, listing and governance

> **In short**
> After the airdrop, $LIA goes out into the world. In Q1 2028 comes $LIA mainnet: payments in Lia move on chain, and Lia Labs works toward listing $LIA on exchanges. Sign in with Lia follows in Q2 2028, and in Q1 2029 $LIA holders start voting on what Lia Labs builds and backs next.

## $LIA mainnet

$LIA already lives on BNB Smart Chain from the airdrop. **$LIA mainnet**, in Q1 2028, is the moment Lia itself runs on chain: payments, gifts and purchases in apps move from Lia's own records to BNB Smart Chain, paid in $LIA, with members' own wallets inside Lia. There is no new chain and nothing to swap. The pay sheet looks the same; what changes is that each payment settles on chain.

From mainnet, developers can also withdraw their share of sales to their own wallets. See [Payments](./payments#the-developers-share).

## Toward listing

From Q1 2028 Lia Labs works toward listing $LIA on exchanges. A fifth of the supply, **200,000,000 $LIA**, is the liquidity share: it unlocks at listing and is used only for exchange liquidity, in liquidity pools and with market makers, so members who want to trade have a market deep enough to do it. It is never sold to members and never used for rewards. Exchanges are announced in the app first.

> **Note**
> Listing is something Lia Labs works toward, not something it can promise. No one can promise that $LIA will be listed anywhere, or what it will be worth. See [Risks](./risks).

## Sign in with Lia

In Q2 2028, other apps can let people sign in with their Lia account, and builders can reach Lia members beyond the app.

## Governance

From Q1 2029, $LIA holders vote on what Lia Labs builds and backs next.

- **One $LIA, one vote.** Your vote counts in proportion to the $LIA in your wallet.
- **Lia Labs puts forward the proposals:** what to build, which projects to back, where grants go.
- **Votes happen in the app.** You sign with your wallet, so only real holders vote.
- **Votes guide Lia Labs.** Results are advisory: they shape what Lia Labs builds and backs next.
