What is a DeFi aggregator?

A DeFi aggregator is a platform that routes your crypto swaps across hundreds of decentralised exchanges (DEXes) simultaneously to find the best rate and lowest slippage. Instead of trading on a single DEX like Uniswap, an aggregator like Steyble splits your trade across multiple pools and chains to maximise your output.

What is a crypto super app?

A crypto super app is a single non-custodial platform that combines every DeFi service — token swapping, staking, perpetuals trading, prediction markets, copy trading, cross-chain bridging, and crypto cards — in one interface. Steyble is a crypto super app, meaning you never need to switch between multiple DeFi applications.

Is Steyble self-custodial?

Yes. Steyble is entirely non-custodial and self-custodial. You hold your private keys at all times. Steyble provides the interface and smart contract routing, but never holds, controls, or has access to your assets. Every transaction requires your explicit wallet signature.

How do prediction markets work in crypto?

Crypto prediction markets let you buy or sell shares in the outcome of real-world events using on-chain smart contracts. If you buy a 'Yes' share at $0.35, you receive $1 if the event occurs (a $0.65 profit) or lose $0.35 if it does not. Markets cover crypto prices, elections, sports results, and macro events. Steyble's prediction markets are non-custodial — your funds remain in your wallet until settlement.

What are perpetual futures in crypto?

Perpetual futures (perps) are leveraged crypto trading contracts with no expiry date. Unlike traditional futures that expire monthly, perps let you hold long or short positions indefinitely. A periodic funding rate keeps the perp price aligned with spot. Steyble perpetuals run on decentralised smart contracts — you trade directly from your own wallet with full transparency into liquidation parameters.

How does copy trading work on Steyble?

Copy trading on Steyble automatically mirrors the on-chain trades of verified top-performing wallet strategies. You choose the wallets you want to copy, set your position sizing and risk limits, and Steyble replicates their trades in real time. Unlike centralised copy trading, Steyble is non-custodial — you never give up control of your funds.

What is the best way to earn passive income with crypto in 2026?

The best methods for passive crypto income in 2026 are: (1) liquid staking ETH or SOL at 3.5–8% APY, (2) lending stablecoins on lending protocols at 5–9% APY, (3) non-custodial copy trading to mirror proven wallet strategies, (4) providing liquidity to stablecoin pools at 3–6% APY, and (5) on-chain prediction markets for event-driven returns. Steyble provides access to all five methods in a single platform.

What is the best DEX aggregator in 2026?

The best DEX aggregators in 2026 route across 15+ blockchains and 100+ liquidity sources with MEV protection. Steyble's swap aggregator covers 250+ liquidity sources across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and more — consistently delivering better rates than going directly to any single DEX. For large swaps, using an aggregator saves 0.5–2% per transaction.

Banking-as-a-Service and Crypto: Building the Future of Finance

BaaS platforms now include crypto infrastructure. Here is how Banking-as-a-Service and DeFi are converging to power the next generation of fintech.

Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms provide modular banking infrastructure via API — account creation, payments, card issuance, KYC, and compliance — allowing companies to build banking products without a banking licence. The convergence of BaaS and DeFi is creating a new category: companies that can offer both traditional and crypto financial services through unified infrastructure.

Traditional BaaS Providers Adding Crypto

Railsr (formerly Railsbank): added crypto wallets and card spending to BaaS platform
Synapse Financial: US BaaS with crypto API layer
Treasury Prime: bank-sponsored BaaS adding crypto deposit products
Stripe: acquired Bridge (USDC infrastructure) — signalling Stripe+crypto convergence
Moov Financial: payments infrastructure adding stablecoin settlement capabilities

DeFi Infrastructure as BaaS

Steyble API: DeFi yield, swap, staking, P2P payments as API-accessible services
Fireblocks: enterprise crypto custody + tokenisation API — institutional BaaS layer
Alchemy: blockchain developer infrastructure — the AWS of Web3
Circle CCTP: USDC cross-chain transfer protocol — infrastructure for stablecoin BaaS
Gnosis Pay: crypto-native payments infrastructure linking DeFi wallets to Visa network

The Convergence Point

The future is a unified financial infrastructure layer where fiat and crypto are interchangeable at the infrastructure level. A payment from London to Lagos processes: fiat → USDC (Stripe/Bridge conversion) → cross-chain transfer (Circle CCTP) → local P2P exchange (Steyble) → recipient's NGN bank account. Every step automated, total cost under 0.5%, total time under 5 minutes. This is where BaaS and DeFi converge.
