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.

P2P Lending: The Real Risks and Rewards in 2026

P2P lending offers 6-15% returns but carries credit and platform risk. Here is an honest assessment of whether it is worth it in 2026.

P2P lending platforms connect borrowers and lenders directly, paying lenders significantly more than bank savings in exchange for taking on the credit risk. Returns of 6-15% have attracted billions in capital. But the past decade has seen significant platform failures and credit losses. Here is the honest assessment of P2P lending in 2026.

How P2P Lending Works

Lend to businesses or individuals via a platform — minimum usually £500-5,000
Platform assesses borrower creditworthiness and sets interest rate
You receive monthly interest + capital repayments over the loan term
Default: if borrower fails to repay, you may lose some or all of your capital in that loan
Provision fund: some platforms maintain a default protection fund — reduces (but does not eliminate) default risk

The Risks (Honestly)

Credit risk: borrower defaults — typically 1-5% per year on most platforms, higher in downturns
Platform risk: P2P platform itself fails — several have failed (Lendy, FundingCircle exit, Mintos issues)
Liquidity risk: loans are not immediately liquid — secondary markets help but are not always available
Concentration risk: without diversification across 100+ loans, single default has major impact
Fraud risk: some platforms have been found to have inflated loan books or poor underwriting

DeFi Lending as the Alternative

In 2026, overcollateralised DeFi lending via Aave on Steyble offers 5-8% APY on USDC with no credit risk (loans are overcollateralised — borrower must deposit more than they borrow), no platform holding funds (smart contract custody), and instant withdrawal. For yield-seeking investors previously attracted to P2P lending's returns, DeFi stablecoin lending offers comparable yield with fundamentally superior risk structure.
