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 DeFi Interest Rates Work: Supply, Demand, and Protocol Mechanics

DeFi interest rates are set algorithmically, not by central banks. This guide explains how utilization-based rate models work, why rates spike, and how to find consistent yield.

In traditional finance, interest rates are set by central banks and loan committees. In DeFi, rates are set by algorithms responding to real-time supply and demand. Understanding these mechanics helps you predict when rates will be high and when to enter or exit lending positions.

Utilization-Based Rate Models

Utilization = Borrowed Amount / Total Supplied Amount
Low utilization (20%): low borrow rates (2–4%) to encourage more borrowing
High utilization (80%): rates rise sharply to incentivize more supply and deter borrowing
Kink point: most protocols have a kink at 80–90% utilization where rates spike dramatically

Why Rates Spike Temporarily

Market events: sudden demand for USDC to buy a dip pushes utilization to 95%+
Liquidations: cascade liquidations increase borrow demand as positions need to repay
Airdrop farming: mass borrowing to farm a new protocol token creates utilization spikes
Rates normalize within hours as new supply enters to chase the temporarily high APY

Finding Consistent Rate Opportunities

On-chain rate monitoring tools (Morpho Rate, DeFi Yield) track historical lending rates across protocols. Consistent lending yield (not spiky) is found in: USDC on Aave Arbitrum (steady 6–8%), stablecoin LPs on Curve (steady 8–12% from fees), and RWA products tied to external rates (Ondo USDY). The most stable yields come from real economic sources, not utilization spikes.
