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.

Market Manipulation in Crypto: What It Looks Like and How to Avoid It

Crypto markets are less regulated than traditional markets, making manipulation more common. Here is how to recognise it before you become a victim.

Crypto markets have fewer protections against manipulation than traditional securities markets. Wash trading, pump-and-dump schemes, spoofing, and front-running are all documented and ongoing. Understanding how they work helps you avoid being the victim and explains price moves that appear to defy logic.

Common Manipulation Tactics

Wash trading: simultaneously buying and selling to create artificial volume — common on smaller exchanges
Pump and dump: coordinated buying drives price up, creators sell at top to retail buyers chasing the move
Spoofing: placing large fake orders to create artificial support/resistance, cancelling before execution
Whale walls: large sell/buy orders that appear to cap or support price — often removed as price approaches
Front-running: validators and MEV bots observe pending transactions and insert their own ahead of them

How to Protect Yourself

Avoid low-cap altcoins with thin liquidity — easier to manipulate and harder to exit
Trade on exchanges with transparent volume metrics (compare CMC volume to CoinGecko volume)
Be sceptical of sudden volume spikes without corresponding news or on-chain activity
Use decentralised exchanges (via Steyble) where front-running is mitigated by MEV protection
Never chase sudden price spikes without understanding the catalyst — pump setups often reverse instantly

MEV and Steyble

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is the value validators extract by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions. Steyble integrates MEV protection via bloXroute and Flashbots to minimise front-running of your swaps. For large trades, Steyble's OTC desk executes off-market to avoid both front-running and market impact entirely.
