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.

Funding Rates in Crypto Perpetuals: How They Work and How to Trade Them

Perpetual futures use funding rates to stay anchored to spot prices. Understanding funding rates is essential for any derivatives trader.

Perpetual futures (perps) do not have an expiry date — unlike traditional futures that expire quarterly. To prevent them drifting away from spot price, a funding mechanism charges longs (if perps trade above spot) or shorts (if perps trade below spot) at regular intervals (every 8 hours on most exchanges, every second on Hyperliquid). Understanding funding rates turns a cost centre into a potential income source.

How Funding Rates Work

Positive funding: perpetual trades above spot — longs pay shorts — signal of bullish sentiment
Negative funding: perpetual trades below spot — shorts pay longs — signal of bearish sentiment
Rate: typically 0.01-0.1% per 8-hour period — can spike to 0.3%+ during extreme sentiment
Calculation: based on interest rate component + premium (difference between perp and spot price)
Impact: if funding is 0.1%/8h and you are long $100,000 → you pay $100 per 8 hours = $300/day

Trading Funding Rate Signals

Extreme positive funding + price at resistance → potential long liquidation incoming → consider short
Extreme negative funding + price at support → potential short squeeze incoming → consider long
Funding rate history: persistent positive funding during uptrend = genuine demand, not just speculation
Cross-exchange comparison: if Binance funding is higher than Steyble Perps → potential arbitrage
Mean reversion: extreme funding rates tend to normalise — trade the normalisation not the trend

Funding Rate Arbitrage

When BTC perpetuals have high positive funding: sell perps, buy spot (delta-neutral) → earn funding rate with no directional risk. At 0.1%/8h = 109% annualised gross yield. Practical net yield after borrow costs: 30-80% APY depending on conditions. Execute via Steyble Perps (short side) + Steyble spot (long side) — both managed in one portfolio view for the position.
