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.

Staking Risks Explained: What Can Go Wrong When You Stake

Staking earns rewards but carries real risks. Here is an honest breakdown of slashing, smart contract exploits, liquidity risk, and how to manage each.

Staking is generally safer than speculative trading, but it is not risk-free. Understanding the specific risks — slashing, smart contract exploits, liquidity risk, and token inflation — helps you size your staking positions appropriately and choose the right protocols.

Slashing Risk

Slashing: penalisation of validators who act maliciously or experience double-signing incidents
Native solo staking: you are responsible for your validator uptime and behaviour — highest slashing exposure
Liquid staking (Lido, Rocket Pool): professional validator operations — slashing events rare, distributed impact
When slashing occurs: a small % of staked ETH is removed — historical incidents: 0.01-0.5% of stake
Mitigation: use liquid staking protocols with established validator sets and insurance funds

Smart Contract Risk

For liquid staking: smart contract holds your underlying staked ETH — exploit could drain funds
Assessment: age of protocol, audit history, bug bounty programs, TVL trend (stability signal)
Historical incidents: no major exploit of Lido or Rocket Pool contracts to date (as of 2026)
Mitigation: use blue-chip protocols only, diversify across 2-3 liquid staking providers

Liquidity and Unbonding Risk

Native staking: 21-day unbonding on Cosmos, 28-day on Polkadot — cannot access funds during this period
Liquid staking: exit via secondary market swap — may be at a slight discount to spot ETH
Secondary market discount: during panic events, stETH has traded at 5-6% discount to ETH — temporary
