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.

MEV Explained: How Validators Extract Value From Your Transactions

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) allows miners and validators to profit by reordering transactions. Here is how it works and how it affects you.

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to the extra value that validators and searchers extract from blockchain transactions by controlling transaction ordering within a block. In 2025, MEV extraction on Ethereum exceeded $1 billion. Understanding MEV is essential for any serious DeFi user — it explains why large trades get front-run and why Steyble uses MEV protection.

How MEV Works

Searchers: bots monitoring the mempool (pending transactions) for profitable opportunities
Front-running: if a searcher sees your large swap, they can insert their own transaction first to profit
Sandwich attack: buy before your trade (raising price), you buy at higher price, sell after your trade (at profit)
Arbitrage MEV: searchers profit by correcting price discrepancies between DEXs — generally user-neutral
Liquidation MEV: searchers monitor undercollateralised DeFi positions and race to liquidate for the bonus

MEV-Boost and Proposer-Builder Separation

MEV-Boost: infrastructure allowing Ethereum validators to outsource block building to specialised builders
Builders compete: multiple builders construct optimal blocks and bid to validators to use their block
Validators earn more: MEV-Boost increases validator income by 15-30% — this is why Jito includes MEV on Solana
OFAC compliance: some builders exclude OFAC-sanctioned transactions — centralisation concern for Ethereum neutrality
Flashbots: original MEV research organisation — now major block builder and MEV-Boost creator

Protecting Yourself From MEV

Steyble uses MEV protection by default: private transaction routing that bypasses the public mempool, preventing sandwich attacks on your swaps. For large swaps ($10k+), Steyble automatically routes through protected RPC endpoints where transactions are submitted directly to block builders rather than the public mempool. For Solana, Jito's MEV infrastructure actually benefits stakers — you earn from the MEV that would otherwise go to searchers.
