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.

DeFi Portfolio Management: Tracking and Optimising Your Positions

Managing DeFi positions across multiple protocols and chains is complex. Here is a systematic approach to tracking, optimising, and maintaining a DeFi portfolio.

The typical active DeFi user has positions across 3-5 protocols on 2-4 different blockchains simultaneously. Without systematic management, positions are forgotten, opportunities for yield optimisation are missed, and liquidation risks go unnoticed. Effective DeFi portfolio management is a skill that dramatically improves returns.

Tracking Your DeFi Positions

Steyble portfolio dashboard: aggregates all positions across integrated protocols in one view
Zapper / DeBank: third-party portfolio trackers for non-integrated protocols
Manual spreadsheet: custom tracking for complex positions, tax lot tracking
Alerting: set notifications for collateral ratio approaching liquidation, TVL drops, and yield changes
Monthly review: assess each position — is the yield still compelling? Has protocol risk changed?

Yield Optimisation Strategies

Compare current yield vs available alternatives quarterly — protocols with best risk-adjusted yield change
Auto-compounding: vaults that reinvest rewards automatically outperform manual claiming over time
Gas cost consideration: on Ethereum mainnet, claiming and reinvesting small amounts destroys yield
Move to L2: same DeFi protocols (Aave, Curve) on Arbitrum or Base have same yield, 100x lower gas
Harvest timing: batch multiple protocol claims into one transaction to reduce gas costs

The Portfolio Review Checklist

Monthly DeFi review takes 30 minutes. Check: (1) All positions still operating normally — no governance issues, no TVL drain, (2) Collateral positions — liquidation price still safely below current market price, (3) Yield rates — still competitive vs alternatives, (4) Gas costs of any pending rewards — worth claiming yet, (5) New opportunities added to Steyble — any better risk-adjusted alternatives. Steyble's notification system alerts you to items 2 and 3 automatically between reviews.
