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.

ETH Validator Setup: Everything You Need to Run Your Own Node

Running your own Ethereum validator earns full staking rewards with no intermediary. Here is the complete technical guide for setting one up in 2026.

Running a solo Ethereum validator is the most financially rewarding and most technically demanding staking approach. You earn 100% of validator rewards with no protocol fees, contribute maximally to Ethereum decentralisation, and maintain full custody of your private keys. The requirements: 32 ETH, a dedicated machine, reliable internet, and technical proficiency.

Hardware Requirements

CPU: modern quad-core (Intel i5/AMD Ryzen 5 or better)
RAM: 32GB minimum — 64GB recommended for stable operation
SSD: 2TB+ NVMe SSD — Ethereum chain data grows continuously
Internet: 10Mbps+ upload speed, low latency, ideally unmetered — avoid data caps
Uptime: must be online 24/7 — every hour offline costs ~1-2% of your daily expected rewards

Software Setup

Execution client: Geth, Erigon, or Besu — processes Ethereum transactions
Consensus client: Prysm, Lighthouse, Teku, or Nimbus — handles proof-of-stake consensus
MEV-boost: optional middleware that connects to MEV relays for additional revenue
Monitoring: Grafana + Prometheus for validator health tracking
Dappnode or Avado: home server hardware pre-configured for validator operation — easiest setup path

Is Solo Staking Right for You?

Solo staking is optimal for: technically proficient individuals with 32+ ETH who are committed to long-term Ethereum support and want maximum yield with full custody. For everyone else — especially those with less than 32 ETH or without server management experience — liquid staking via Steyble (Lido or Rocket Pool) provides 95% of the solo staking benefit with none of the operational complexity.
