Payments
In short Every payment in an app on Lia goes through Lia's own pay sheet. The price comes from Lia's records, never the app's page, and the app's server confirms each charge before it delivers. Developers earn a share of every sale.
The pay sheet
- Someone taps Buy in an app inside Lia.
- Lia's pay sheet opens over the app. It shows who is selling, the item, the price from Lia's records and the balance after.
- They confirm. The $LIA leaves their balance.
- The app's server confirms the charge with its secret key and delivers what was bought, or refunds it if something goes wrong.
Because the sheet belongs to Lia, an app can't show one price and charge another, and a person never types a card number or connects a wallet to pay.
The developer's share
When someone buys something in an app, the developer earns a share of the sale: 70% by default. Developers also get 50% of what the ads in their app earn.
- Paid monthly into the developer's own Lia balance, sales and ads together.
- They withdraw it to their own wallet once $LIA payments run on chain, from Q1 2028. See Mainnet, listing and governance.
- Lia Labs' share of each sale goes back to the community share, to pay for members' future rewards. See Supply and allocation.
Other ways $LIA moves
- Between friends. Send or gift $LIA to a friend in chat.
- In games. Stakes in Lia XO, where the winner takes the pot less 5%. See Games and chat.
- From reward pools. Apps pay players from pools Lia funds. See Apps on Lia.
During the mining phase all of these happen inside Lia, on Lia's own records. $LIA payments in apps on chain are planned for Q1 2028, after the airdrop. See Mainnet, listing and governance.
