How It Works
Everything you need to know about gifting, slabs, pieces, battles, and collabs on Saqqara.
What are Slabs?
Slabs are Saqqara's virtual currency. You buy them in packages and spend them to send gifts to artists during live streams. 80 Slabs = $1.50.
How do I send a gift?
While watching a live stream, open the gift panel below the video. Choose a gift, confirm you have enough slabs, and tap Send. The emoji flies on screen for everyone to see.
Paying with Pieces
If you have Pieces in your wallet (earned by collab artists or gifted to you), you can use them instead of slabs. Every 4 Pieces = 1 Slab of purchasing power.
Gifting during Battles
When two artists are in a live battle, your gift counts toward their slab total. The artist with the most slabs at the end wins. Battles run for 5 or 10 minutes.
| Gift | Slabs | Artist Receives |
|---|---|---|
| 🌹Rose | 1 | 1 pieces |
| 🪮Comb | 5 | 5 pieces |
| 📌Pin | 10 | 10 pieces |
| 🖌️Brush | 25 | 25 pieces |
| 👑Crown | 50 | 50 pieces |
| 🔥Fire | 100 | 100 pieces |
| 🧊Ice | 1000 | 1000 pieces |
Slab packages are available for purchase in your wallet. Every gift directly supports the artist.
How do I earn Pieces?
Every time a fan sends you a gift during your live stream, you receive Pieces equal to the slab cost of that gift. A 100-slab Fire gift = 100 Pieces credited to your wallet.
Converting Pieces to Slabs
Go to your Gift Earnings page and exchange Pieces to Slabs at a 4:1 rate. 100 Pieces = 25 Slabs. Those slabs represent real earnings paid out through your Saqqara account.
Battle Bonus
Battles pay more. If you earn $1 from gifts normally, you earn $1.25 during an active battle. It's an incentive to volunteer — the more you compete, the more you earn.
Collab Sessions
Start a collab to invite another artist into your live stream. Fans can gift either artist individually at standard rates — no battle scoring, no timer. Just creating together.
Artist Earnings Per Gift (Normal Stream)
| Gift | Fan Sends | You Earn | Battle Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🌹 Rose | 1 slabs | 1 pieces | 2 pieces |
| 🪮 Comb | 5 slabs | 5 pieces | 8 pieces |
| 📌 Pin | 10 slabs | 10 pieces | 15 pieces |
| 🖌️ Brush | 25 slabs | 25 pieces | 38 pieces |
| 👑 Crown | 50 slabs | 50 pieces | 75 pieces |
| 🔥 Fire | 100 slabs | 100 pieces | 150 pieces |
| 🧊 Ice | 1000 slabs | 1000 pieces | 1500 pieces |
Battle gifts earn 1.5× pieces. Cash values are estimates before payout fees (1.75% + $0.35 per payout event, batched).
Sign Up
Go live, then open the Battle panel on your stream page. Choose 5 or 10 minutes and enter the queue.
Matchmaking
The system finds you an opponent of similar standing — matched by tenure on the platform, gift earnings, and booking popularity.
Start
Once matched, either artist clicks Start Battle. Both streams are linked side by side at saqqarallc.com/battles/[id].
During the Battle
Fans send gifts to either artist. Every gift earns you 1.5× pieces instead of the standard 1×. The artist with the most slab value at the end wins.
Auto-Resolve
When time runs out the system automatically declares the winner. No action needed.
Start a Collab
Go live, then click Start Collab Session in the Collab panel on your stream page.
Invite an Artist
Enter another artist's User ID to invite them. They'll see the invite on their stream page.
Join
The invited artist clicks Join. They connect to your ACS room as a second presenter — both of you appear on the same stream.
Gifting
Fans watching can choose which artist to gift using the selector above the gift panel. Standard rates apply — no battle bonuses.
End
The host can end the collab at any time. Collab sessions have no time limit.
Do I get anything back when I send a gift?
No. Slabs you spend on gifts are gone. The value flows to the artist and Saqqara. If you want slabs back, you'd need to purchase more.
Can I cash out my Pieces directly?
Pieces are not cash — they must be exchanged to Slabs first (4 Pieces = 1 Slab), then paid out through your Saqqara artist account via direct deposit.
What happens if a battle is a tie?
If both artists have equal slabs, Artist 1 (the first to be matched) is declared the winner.
Can I be in a battle and a collab at the same time?
No. Start one session at a time. End your collab before entering a battle queue, or resolve your battle before starting a collab.
How often can artists be paid out?
Payouts are processed by Saqqara admin through the payout dashboard. Artists should accumulate earnings and request a payout. Each payout event costs 1.75% + $0.35 through our payment processor, so batching is recommended.
