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 Risk Management: How to Protect Your Capital in Decentralised Finance

DeFi generates extraordinary yields but carries real risks. Here is a systematic approach to managing risk across smart contracts, protocols, and positions.

DeFi risk is multi-dimensional. Unlike traditional investing where market risk is primary, DeFi adds smart contract risk, oracle risk, liquidity risk, governance risk, and regulatory risk. Managing a DeFi portfolio requires understanding and monitoring each of these simultaneously.

The DeFi Risk Taxonomy

Smart contract risk: code bugs that allow exploits — mitigated by audit history and protocol age
Oracle risk: price feeds that can be manipulated — check whether protocols use TWAP or spot prices
Liquidity risk: inability to withdraw or swap during a crisis — check withdrawal queues and TVL
Governance risk: malicious or misaligned governance decisions — watch participation and governance timeline
Regulatory risk: protocol shutdown due to regulatory action — jurisdiction and compliance stance matter

Practical Risk Mitigation

Only use protocols with 2+ years of operation and $500M+ TVL — size signals trust
Diversify across protocols — no more than 30% in any single protocol
Monitor protocol health: TVL trends, audit updates, governance proposals
Set withdrawal thresholds: if TVL drops 20% in 24h, that is a warning sign
Start small: enter new protocols with small amounts, scale up as confidence grows

Building a Risk-Adjusted DeFi Portfolio

Categorise your DeFi allocation by risk tier. Tier 1 (60-70%): blue-chip protocols (Aave, Compound, Lido), accessible via Steyble — 5-8% APY. Tier 2 (20-30%): established second-tier protocols with 12+ months operation — 8-15% APY. Tier 3 (5-10%): newer protocols with higher yields — treat as venture capital allocation, size accordingly. Never exceed your total comfortable loss for the entire tier 3 allocation.
