$SEPIA is the key to Sepia's private payments. Holding it makes them cheaper and unlocks more, and every fee the protocol earns buys $SEPIA back and burns it.
A one-time address holds no SOL, so it cannot pay its own fee. The Sepia relayer signs your withdrawal as fee payer and takes a small cut of the amount withdrawn, never more than 1%. Holders pay a reduced fee; the top tiers pay none.
Fees collected by the protocol buy $SEPIA on the open market through Jupiter and burn it with the SPL burn instruction, so total supply on Solscan goes down, not just a dead wallet going up. Mint authority is revoked at launch, so supply can only shrink. The share that covers relayer fees and development is published before launch.
Your tier is read from your wallet balance. Higher tiers unlock more simultaneous payment links, recurring payments, custom link names and team cashboxes.
Anyone can run a relayer by staking $SEPIA. Relayers earn part of the fees; a relayer that censors or misbehaves loses part of its stake.
Thresholds in $SEPIA are announced at launch, once the market sets a price. Check your tier any time on the app page.

Buy SOL on an exchange and withdraw it to your wallet. SOL pays for the trade and the network fee.
Use the Buy button on this site, so you land on the real token page. After graduation it trades on PumpSwap and through Jupiter.
