Trading bots generate fees around the clock. How a rebate turns a fixed cost back into margin, with worked examples at bot-scale turnover.
Quant and bot trading builds its edge on high-frequency fills, but fees are the biggest hidden cost eating your performance. The good news: rebate = fees × rebate rate, so the more you trade, the more you get back. On 3M USDT of monthly volume (perp taker 0.05%, ~1,500 USDT in monthly fees), binding through Quant Nova returns up to Gate 1,050, WEEX 1,050, MEXC 900, Bitget 750, Binance 600, Bybit 600, OKX 300 (official 20%, extra via support) each month.
Who is this for?
Anyone running grid, martingale, trend, or market-making bots, or trading programmatically via API with far more fills than manual traders. Your per-trade profit may be thin, but the fees you rack up in a month are substantial — rebate structurally returns part of that cost.
Why rebate matters most to quant traders
A bot amplifies not just opportunities but fees. A manual trader makes a few trades a day; a bot can make hundreds. For the same strategy, the heavier the fee drag, the more valuable the rebate. Rebate is not a one-time promo — it's a fixed discount on every fill, so it directly improves your strategy's net expectancy.

Which exchange fits you?
If your goal is to maximize what you get back, Gate (up to 70%) returns the most on the same fees; if you already run strategies on Binance or Bybit, 40% and 40% are still top-tier, so there's no need to migrate just for rebate. API sub-accounts must also have that account's UID bound to the platform to count toward rebate and XP. To see how tiers climb, check the table:

If you trade at high volume, hold exchange VIP status, or run quantitative strategies, you can also apply here for an upgrade to Supernova — our highest tier, with the highest rebate.
Yes. As long as you bind the UID that actually trades (including sub-accounts), the fees that account generates count toward rebate and XP.
Is rebate smaller on maker orders?
Rebate returns a percentage of the fees you actually pay. Maker rates are usually lower, so the fee base and the amount returned are lower too, but the rebate rate itself is unchanged.
Could a high-frequency strategy be flagged and lose rebate?
As long as it's normal trading the exchange permits and you actually pay fees, it counts. Compliance follows each exchange's rules; ask support if unsure.
How often is rebate settled?
Quant Nova settles daily, so you can check your balance and withdraw in USDT anytime — well suited to quant traders who want steady cost recovery.
Why is OKX only counted at 20%?
OKX policy only permits advertising up to 20%, so the estimate uses 20%; anything beyond 20% is arranged via support.
These are estimates using reference rates; actual fees and rebates follow what each exchange and the Quant Nova platform display in real time. This article is information, not investment advice.
