What is copy trading?

Copy trading automatically mirrors the trades of selected wallets. When the wallet you follow opens a position, your wallet opens the same position proportional to your settings. On-chain copy trading is fully transparent — you can verify every trade before deciding to follow.

How do I find good wallets to copy?

Look for wallets with 6+ months of consistent profitability, reasonable position sizing (no all-in trades), low drawdowns (under 30% peak-to-trough), and trading styles you understand. Avoid wallets that show suspiciously perfect win rates — they may be running insider strategies you cannot replicate safely.

Is copy trading profitable?

Sometimes. Most copy traders break even or lose money because they chase the most recent winners (whose edge has passed) and panic-stop during drawdowns. The most successful copy traders pick a wallet, commit to following it for 6+ months, and size positions conservatively.

Is copy trading safe?

On-chain copy trading on platforms like Steyble is non-custodial — you keep control of your funds, and you can stop copying at any time. The main risks are following a bad wallet, slippage on copied trades, and platform smart contract risk. Diversify across 3–5 wallets to reduce single-wallet risk.

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.

Copy Trading on DEXs vs CEXs: How They Actually Differ

Decentralised copy trading mirrors on-chain wallets in real time. Centralised copy trading mirrors broker accounts. Here is what changes for users.

Copy trading lets a user mirror another trader's positions automatically. The CEX version (eToro, Bybit Copy, Binance Copy) was the original 2010s product — it tracks broker account fills and replicates them inside the same broker. The DEX version (Steyble Copy, Hyperliquid leaderboards integrated, Numa) tracks on-chain wallets and replicates their swaps and positions through smart-contract execution. The two look similar but are mechanically different in ways that matter.

What Stays the Same

The user picks a leader, sets a maximum copy size, and trades automatically follow
The leader earns a performance fee (typically 10-25% of profits) plus a small monthly subscription on some platforms
Both surfaces show historical PnL, drawdowns, sharpe ratios, and follower count
Both have the same fundamental risk: the leader stops being good

What Is Genuinely Different

DEX copy trades are fully verifiable on-chain — fake track records are impossible because every trade is public
DEX copy trades inherit the leader's slippage and gas costs at the moment they execute — copy quality depends on routing
DEX copy trades retain self-custody — the follower's keys never leave their device, and the smart contract only executes pre-authorised order types
CEX copy trades have lower latency (microseconds) — DEX copy trades have block-level latency (1-15 seconds)
DEX copy trades expose the leader's full address — copying enables 'shadow follow', where a third party tracks the same wallet for free

Why On-Chain Verification Changes the Game

The fundamental scam in CEX copy trading was wash-traded leaderboards: a trader could open offsetting accounts, post a fake 1,000% return, and farm follower fees for a week before the truth emerged. On-chain copy trading makes this impossible — every transaction is timestamped on a public ledger, attributable to a single address, and impossible to delete. Performance is auditable in the truest sense.

How to Use It Without Losing Money

Look for ≥12 months of on-chain track record across multiple market regimes
Check max drawdown (DD) against your own risk tolerance — historical PnL means nothing if DD is greater than your stop
Set a max copy size per follow — never let one leader exceed 10-15% of portfolio
Diversify across 3-5 leaders with uncorrelated styles
Re-evaluate every 30 days — most strategies decay; staying on autopilot is the most common copy-trading failure mode

On-Chain Copy Trading and AI Agent Strategies

An emerging category in 2026 is copy-trading where the leader is not a human but an AI agent with a public on-chain track record. The transparency of on-chain settlement makes this work where it could not in CeFi: every agent decision is recorded, every fill is auditable, and the agent's reasoning logs (if published) can be cross-checked against its actual trades. Sophisticated followers can blend a human-led strategy and an agent-led strategy in the same portfolio, treating them as uncorrelated alpha sources.

Where Steyble Copy Trading Goes Beyond CeFi

Every leader's track record is on-chain — historical PnL is verifiable, not vendor-supplied
Followers retain self-custody — the smart contract executes only the order types they have pre-authorised
Slippage and execution quality are visible per-trade — the user can audit drag against the leader's fills
AI-agent leaders are categorised explicitly — followers know whether they are following a human or a model
Fees and performance share are paid on-chain in stablecoin — no off-platform settlement, no IOU
