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 Bitcoin Mining Works in 2026: ASICs, Pools, and Economics

Bitcoin mining secures the network by solving computational puzzles. This guide explains the technical process, hardware requirements, mining pools, and the economics after the 2024 halving.

Bitcoin mining is the process by which new Bitcoin is created and transactions are confirmed. Miners compete to solve a computational puzzle (finding a hash below a target value), with the winner earning the block reward — currently 3.125 BTC after the April 2024 halving — plus transaction fees.

The Mining Process

Miners collect pending transactions and form a candidate block
They modify a nonce value and compute the block's SHA-256 hash repeatedly
A valid hash must be below the current difficulty target (proof of work)
First miner to find a valid hash broadcasts the block and earns the reward
The difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks) to maintain 10-minute block times

Mining Hardware in 2026

ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits): specialized chips for SHA-256 only
Bitmain Antminer S21 Pro: industry standard; 234 TH/s at 16 J/TH efficiency
GPUs: no longer viable for Bitcoin (too slow vs. ASICs); still used for alternative PoW coins
Immersion cooling: data centers using liquid cooling to improve efficiency by 15–20%

Mining Economics Post-Halving

After the April 2024 halving, block rewards dropped to 3.125 BTC. With BTC at $80,000–$100,000, mining remains highly profitable for efficient operations with cheap electricity (<$0.04/kWh). Inefficient miners (using older hardware or expensive electricity) have been squeezed out, concentrating hash rate in large, efficient operations.
