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.

Liquid Staking in 2026: Stake and Still Use Your Assets

Liquid staking gives you staking rewards while keeping your assets liquid and usable in DeFi. Here is how it works and which protocols to use.

Native Ethereum staking requires locking 32 ETH and waiting 21+ days to unstake. Liquid staking solves this: you deposit ETH and receive stETH (a token representing your staked ETH + accrued rewards). stETH can be traded, used as DeFi collateral, or held freely while your underlying ETH earns staking rewards. You get staking yield and liquidity simultaneously.

How Liquid Staking Works

Deposit ETH → receive stETH (Lido) or rETH (Rocket Pool) 1:1 at deposit
stETH/rETH appreciates vs ETH as staking rewards accrue — or balance increases daily (stETH rebasing)
Withdraw: swap stETH → ETH on Steyble or withdraw via protocol (may have queue)
No 21-day unbonding: exit anytime via secondary market swap
Security: validators are run by a distributed set of professional operators — no single point of failure

Leading Liquid Staking Protocols in 2026

Lido (stETH): largest liquid staking protocol, $30B+ TVL, best secondary market liquidity
Rocket Pool (rETH): decentralised validator set, no Lido concentration risk, slightly lower TVL
Jito (jitoSOL): dominant for Solana liquid staking, adds MEV rewards on top of base rewards
EigenLayer restaking: stake ETH then restake stETH for additional yield on top of ETH staking
Steyble integrates all major protocols — access via one interface with real-time APY comparison

Liquid Staking in DeFi

The most powerful application of liquid staking: deposit stETH into Aave as collateral, borrow USDC against it, deploy USDC into yield strategies. Your ETH is staking (earning ~4% APY), generating lending yield (borrowing USDC at ~3% APR), and the USDC is earning 5-7% in lending protocols. This "looped staking" strategy effectively earns yield on all three layers simultaneously — a sophisticated but increasingly accessible DeFi strategy via Steyble.
