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.

Cross-Chain Bridges: How to Move Crypto Between Blockchains

Crypto lives on different blockchains that cannot natively communicate. Bridges solve this. Here is how they work, which are safe, and how to use them.

Bitcoin lives on the Bitcoin blockchain. USDC can exist on Ethereum, Solana, Tron, and 10 other chains. Moving assets between blockchains requires a bridge — a protocol that locks assets on one chain and issues equivalent representations on another. Bridges are essential infrastructure for the multi-chain DeFi ecosystem of 2026.

How Bridges Work

Lock-and-mint: send ETH to Ethereum bridge contract, receive wETH on another chain
Burn-and-mint: burn token on source chain, mint new tokens on destination chain
Liquidity networks: bridge matches you with someone doing the opposite transfer — no locking/minting
Atomic swaps: trustless peer-to-peer cross-chain exchange using hash time-locked contracts
Speed: varies from 1 minute (Arbitrum native bridge) to 7 days (Optimism official bridge)

Bridge Risks and Safety

Bridge hacks are the single largest source of DeFi losses — $2B+ stolen from bridges historically
Ronin Bridge (Axie Infinity): $625M stolen in 2022 — validator key compromise
Wormhole: $320M exploit in 2022 — smart contract bug
Safer bridges: those with multiple independent security audits, multisig governance, and established track records
Steyble uses only audited bridge integrations — routes cross-chain swaps via LayerZero, Axelar, and native bridges

Using Bridges via Steyble

Steyble's cross-chain swap feature handles bridge complexity automatically. Select your source chain, destination chain, and amount — Steyble routes the transfer via the safest available bridge for that specific corridor. You do not need to interact with bridge interfaces directly. The swap preview shows the expected amount on the destination chain, estimated time, and bridge used.
