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 Summer 2024: The Revival That Redefined On-Chain Finance

DeFi Summer 2024 brought a new wave of protocols, narratives, and on-chain activity. This retrospective covers what happened, which protocols thrived, and what the surge means for 2026.

DeFi Summer 2024 was not a repeat of 2020's yield farming frenzy — it was more sophisticated. Driven by restaking narratives (EigenLayer), RWA tokenization momentum, and Solana's consumer crypto boom, DeFi in 2024 saw TVL return to all-time highs with more sustainable yield sources.

The Major Narratives of 2024

EigenLayer restaking: $20B TVL; redefined what "staking" means; LRT tokens proliferated
Ethena sUSDe: $8B TVL; yield-bearing stablecoin powered by funding rate harvest
Solana DeFi resurgence: Jupiter crossed $10B monthly volume; Jito/Marinade TVL expanded 5x
Bitcoin L2 awakening: Babylon, Stacks, sBTC; BTC yield became viable for the first time

Protocols That Won in 2024

Hyperliquid: grew from $100M to $3B+ daily volume; token launch at $6B market cap
Pendle Finance: fixed yield market grew from $200M to $5B TVL
Ondo Finance: RWA TVL grew 10x; USDY became a DeFi base layer asset
Jupiter: captured 90% of Solana DEX volume through superior routing

What It Means for 2026 and Beyond

DeFi Summer 2024 established several permanent structural changes: RWA is now a core DeFi primitive (not a niche), restaking is standard ETH yield infrastructure, Solana is a peer competitor to Ethereum for DeFi activity, and yield-bearing stablecoins are replacing idle USDC/USDT as the preferred base asset. These trends accelerate through 2026.
