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 Use a DEX in 2026: Complete Beginner Guide

Decentralized exchanges let you swap tokens without handing over your funds. This step-by-step guide covers wallets, approvals, slippage, and getting the best rates.

A decentralized exchange (DEX) lets you swap tokens directly from your own wallet — no sign-up, no KYC, no custody risk. In 2026, DEXs process over $50B in monthly volume across dozens of chains.

What You Need Before Your First DEX Trade

A self-custodial wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, or built-in Steyble wallet)
ETH or the native gas token for the chain you are using
The token address for the asset you want to buy (verify on CoinGecko or Etherscan)

Understanding Slippage and Price Impact

Slippage is the difference between the price you expect and the price you get. For large trades or illiquid tokens, price impact can be significant. Set a 0.5% slippage tolerance for major pairs and 1–2% for small-cap tokens. DEX aggregators like Steyble automatically route through multiple pools to minimize both.

Token Approvals and Gas Fees

Before swapping, you must approve the DEX contract to spend your tokens. This approval costs gas. DEX aggregators batch approvals and swaps more efficiently. Always check the gas cost preview before confirming — if gas exceeds 5% of your trade value, reconsider the timing.

Choosing the Best DEX or Aggregator

Single DEXs (Uniswap, Curve) are best for simple, liquid pairs
Aggregators (Steyble, 1inch) find the best route across 250+ sources
For cross-chain swaps, use a bridge aggregator like Steyble Bridge
For low-gas trades, use L2 chains: Arbitrum, Base, or Optimism
