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.

Smart Contracts Explained: What They Are and Why They Matter

Smart contracts are self-executing agreements written in code. They power DeFi, NFTs, and Web3. Here is a plain English explanation for complete beginners.

A smart contract is a program that runs on a blockchain and automatically executes when certain conditions are met, without any human involvement. Imagine a vending machine: you insert the exact amount, the machine dispenses your item with no cashier needed. Smart contracts work the same way — the rules are encoded upfront, and execution is automatic and trustless.

How Smart Contracts Work

Written in programming languages (primarily Solidity for Ethereum)
Deployed to the blockchain, where they are permanent and public
Execute automatically when trigger conditions are met
Cannot be stopped, modified, or censored once deployed (mostly)
Anyone can read the code — full transparency of what will happen

Real Examples from Steyble

Steyble Swap: smart contract executes your token exchange at the agreed rate, trustlessly
Steyble Staking: contract holds your staked tokens and releases rewards on schedule
Aave lending: automatically collects interest and manages collateral ratios
NFT marketplace: transfers ownership and releases payment automatically on sale

The Risks of Smart Contracts

Smart contracts are only as good as the code they are written in. Bugs can result in permanent loss of funds. The most important risk mitigation: only use protocols with extensive audits from reputable security firms. Steyble's smart contracts are audited by top security firms, and the audit reports are publicly available.
