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.

Self-Custody vs Exchange: Where Should You Keep Your Crypto?

Keeping crypto on an exchange is convenient but risky. Self-custody is safer but requires responsibility. Here is how to decide and how to transition.

The debate between self-custody and exchange storage is one of the most important decisions in crypto. Exchange storage is convenient — the exchange manages your keys. Self-custody gives you full control — you manage your keys. The trade-off is convenience vs sovereignty.

The Case for Exchange Storage

Convenience: no seed phrase management, easy trading, instant transactions
Recoverability: forget your password — customer support can help you regain access
Insurance: some exchanges insure user funds against hacks (Coinbase, Kraken)
Compliance: easier for tax reporting — exchange provides complete transaction history
Trading: necessary for active traders — keeping funds on exchange reduces friction

The Case for Self-Custody (Steyble)

FTX-proof: exchange bankruptcy cannot claim your assets — the 2022-2024 exchange failures taught this lesson
Hack resistance: exchange hacks steal custodied user funds — self-custody is immune
DeFi access: connect directly to any DeFi protocol, not limited to exchange's offerings
True ownership: you are the actual owner of the assets, not a creditor of the exchange
Yield: access higher DeFi yields not available on exchange's limited product set

The Practical Recommendation

Use exchange for: initial on-ramp, active trading, amounts you need quick access to. Use Steyble self-custody for: long-term holdings, DeFi participation, any amount you would be devastated to lose to an exchange failure. The transition: buy on exchange, complete your trades, withdraw to Steyble wallet same day. Treat exchange accounts like an ATM — go in, get what you need, get out.
