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.

Bitcoin Layer 2 Ecosystem in 2026: Lightning, Stacks, and More

Bitcoin Layer 2 protocols are bringing DeFi capabilities to the most secure blockchain. This guide covers the Lightning Network, Stacks, Babylon, and the emerging Bitcoin L2 ecosystem.

Bitcoin was designed to be a settlement layer, not a general-purpose computer. Layer 2 protocols extend Bitcoin's capabilities without changing its base layer security. In 2026, the Bitcoin L2 ecosystem has grown to dozens of protocols with diverse approaches to scalability and programmability.

Lightning Network: Payments at Scale

The Lightning Network enables instant, near-free Bitcoin payments by moving transactions off-chain. Two parties open a payment channel, transact freely, and settle the final balance on-chain. In 2026, Lightning has $600M in channel capacity and processes millions of micropayments daily — enabling Bitcoin as a genuine payments network.

Stacks: Smart Contracts on Bitcoin

Stacks uses a unique "Proof of Transfer" mechanism to anchor smart contract state to Bitcoin. Stacks contracts can read Bitcoin state and use BTC as native money. The sBTC cross-chain bridge allows BTC to be used in Stacks DeFi with Bitcoin-level security.

Babylon: Bitcoin Native Staking

Babylon enables Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure other Proof of Stake chains, earning staking yield without wrapping or bridging. This creates a new yield layer for BTC that does not require custodial risk — a major milestone for the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Bitcoin Ordinals and Runes

Ordinals: inscribe arbitrary data on individual satoshis — enables Bitcoin-native NFTs
BRC-20: fungible token standard using Ordinals (experimental, not recommended for serious use)
Runes: improved fungible token protocol replacing BRC-20; more efficient on-chain footprint
