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.

Perpetual Contracts Complete Guide 2026: Everything You Need to Trade Perps

Perpetual futures are the highest-volume DeFi product with trillions in monthly notional. This comprehensive guide covers funding, mechanics, liquidation, and the best perps trading strategies.

Perpetual contracts (perps) are the most traded instrument in crypto markets, with daily volume regularly exceeding $50B across CEX and DEX platforms combined. Understanding perps mechanics — funding rates, liquidation cascades, open interest — is essential for both traders and DeFi users who want to understand market dynamics.

Perpetual vs. Traditional Futures

Traditional futures: expire on a specific date; basis (premium/discount to spot) reflects cost of carry
Perpetuals: no expiry; price maintained near spot via funding rate mechanism
Funding rate: periodic payment (every 8 hours on most CEXs) keeping perp price near spot
Mark price: used for liquidation; avoids manipulation via volume-weighted price feed

Reading Open Interest and Funding

Rising open interest + rising price: healthy trend with genuine buying
Rising open interest + falling price: short-sellers being added; confirms downtrend
Declining open interest: traders exiting; often precedes consolidation or reversal
Extreme positive funding (>0.1%/8h): over-leveraged longs; historically precedes correction within 48–72h

Liquidation Cascades Explained

Liquidation cascades occur when a price move triggers mass liquidations, which then accelerate the price move, triggering more liquidations. They are most common at round numbers (Bitcoin at $100k, $50k) where many stop-losses cluster. Understanding cascade potential helps time entries: the best long entries often come immediately after a downward liquidation cascade exhausts itself.
