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 Tax Guide for US Investors 2026: Every Rule Explained

The IRS treats crypto as property. Every trade, swap, and DeFi interaction may be taxable. This guide covers every US crypto tax rule, minimization strategies, and reporting requirements.

The IRS has treated cryptocurrency as property since 2014. This means every disposal (sale, trade, exchange, spending) is potentially a taxable event. In 2026, with expanded 1099-DA reporting requirements, the IRS has unprecedented visibility into crypto activity.

What Is a Taxable Event

Selling crypto for USD/fiat: capital gains/loss (long or short term)
Trading one crypto for another: taxable at fair market value of received asset
Using crypto to buy goods or services: capital gains on the crypto used
Receiving staking rewards, mining income, airdrops: ordinary income at receipt

What Is NOT a Taxable Event

Buying crypto with fiat (buying is not taxable — only selling)
Transferring between your own wallets
Holding crypto (unrealized gains are not taxed until realized)
Wrapping tokens (e.g., ETH→WETH) — treated as same asset per most interpretations

Tax-Loss Harvesting in Crypto

Unlike stocks, crypto is not subject to the wash-sale rule (as of 2026). You can sell Bitcoin at a loss, immediately buy it back, and claim the loss for tax purposes. This "tax-loss harvesting" can offset gains from other crypto sales, reducing your tax bill. Platforms like Koinly and CoinTracker automate loss harvesting recommendations.
