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.

Crypto Self-Regulation 2026: How the Industry Is Policing Itself

After FTX, the crypto industry accelerated self-regulatory efforts. This guide covers proof of reserves, industry standards, reserve audits, and why self-regulation matters for user protection.

The FTX collapse in November 2022 revealed the catastrophic risk of trusting opaque centralized exchanges with customer funds. The industry response: proof of reserves, third-party audits, and emerging self-regulatory frameworks that don't require waiting for legislation.

Proof of Reserves

Merkle tree proof of reserves: cryptographic proof that customer balances are fully backed
Exchanges adopting PoR: Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, OKX — major exchanges published reserves post-FTX
Limitation: PoR shows assets but not liabilities — a complete financial picture requires both
Auditor firms: Mazars, Armanino provide third-party reserve attestations

Industry Standards Bodies

Global Digital Asset & Cryptocurrency Association (GDCA): exchange membership standards
Crypto Council for Innovation: policy advocacy and consumer protection standards
DeFi Education Fund: focused on clear regulatory classification to protect DeFi developers
Token Safe Harbor Proposal: academic/industry framework for responsible token launches

Self-Custody as Self-Protection

The strongest form of consumer protection in crypto remains self-custody. No proof of reserves, audit, or insurance eliminates the counterparty risk of a centralized exchange. Users who keep large holdings on exchanges have systematically absorbed losses in every major exchange failure. Self-custodial platforms like Steyble eliminate counterparty risk by design.
