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.

How to Protect Your DeFi Position from Liquidation in 2026

Liquidation wipes out your collateral when loans become undercollateralized. This guide covers how to monitor positions, use protective tools, and structure loans to survive market crashes.

DeFi liquidation is automatic and irreversible. When your collateral value falls below the minimum threshold, bots liquidate your position in milliseconds — taking a 5–15% bonus for themselves. Understanding liquidation mechanics is essential for anyone borrowing in DeFi.

Understanding Liquidation Triggers

Health factor < 1.0 on Aave: your position will be partially or fully liquidated
LTV exceeds threshold: on Compound, position becomes liquidatable at LTV threshold
Isolated margin: perpetuals position liquidated when remaining margin < maintenance margin
Cascading liquidations: large market moves trigger chain reactions across overleveraged positions

Monitoring Your Positions

Set price alerts: at 20%, 30%, 40% below your collateral value
DeFi Saver: automated protection — can add collateral or reduce debt automatically
Aave notification bot: email/Telegram alerts when health factor drops
Whisk.fi: aggregate DeFi position monitoring across protocols

Structural Protection: Safe LTV Targets

Conservative: borrow at 40–50% LTV — survives 40%+ collateral drop
Moderate: borrow at 55–65% LTV — survives 25% collateral drop
Aggressive: borrow at 70%+ LTV — risky; standard volatility can liquidate
Rule: your LTV × (1 - liquidation threshold) = your safety margin in % price terms

Emergency Actions Before Liquidation

If your health factor drops to 1.2–1.5, act immediately: repay part of the loan (fastest option), or add more collateral. DeFi Saver's "Boost/Repay" automation can handle this automatically. Having 10–20% of your borrowed amount in stablecoins as a ready emergency reserve is best practice.
