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 Yourself from Exchange Hacks

Crypto exchanges get hacked. Billions have been lost to exchange hacks. Here is how to protect your funds whether you use centralised or decentralised exchanges.

Exchange hacks are a feature of the crypto landscape, not a bug. Centralised exchanges hold billions in user funds, making them the highest-value targets in the crypto ecosystem. FTX ($8B), Binance ($570M), Bybit ($1.5B in 2025) — major exchanges get compromised regularly. Here is how to protect yourself.

The Self-Custody Principle

The fundamental protection: not your keys, not your coins. Funds held on an exchange are the exchange's liability, not yours. When an exchange is hacked, withdrawals freeze. When an exchange goes bankrupt (FTX), users become unsecured creditors. The only guaranteed protection against exchange risk is holding your own private keys in a self-custodial wallet like Steyble. If you must use an exchange, use it for trading only — withdraw to your wallet after each session.

Exchange Security Best Practices (For Funds You Must Keep There)

Enable hardware 2FA (YubiKey) — stronger than authenticator app against SIM-swap
Whitelist withdrawal addresses — funds can only be withdrawn to pre-verified wallets
Use a dedicated email address for exchange accounts — not your main email
Enable withdrawal delay (24-48 hours for new addresses) — buys time to detect compromise
Check exchange proof-of-reserves: Binance, OKX, Bybit publish monthly Merkle tree proofs

The Risk Tiering Approach

Active trading funds (use exchange): keep only what you actively need to trade
Settlement funds (brief exchange visit): withdraw to self-custody within 24-48 hours of buying
Long-term holdings (never on exchange): always in self-custodial hardware wallet
Emergency liquidity buffer: small amount in Steyble wallet — immediate access + self-custody safety
Rule of thumb: anything over £1,000 should be in self-custody for amounts you cannot afford to lose
