MEXC referral code: mexc-NOVA888. Note that the prefix is part of it — NOVA888 on its own is not valid on MEXC; NOVA888 is the code Binance, OKX, Bybit and Bitget use.
Registering with it earns a fee rebate of up to 60% — 20% returned automatically by MEXC plus up to 40% more by tier. Lv.1 already pays 50% with no threshold, so there is no volume requirement to climb first.
This page covers the code itself. Rates, tiers and worked examples are in the MEXC fee rebate guide.
What is the MEXC referral code?
The code is mexc-NOVA888 (prefix included, case exactly as written). The button below uses a dedicated link that already carries it; registering manually means entering the full mexc-NOVA888 in the referral field yourself.
Where do you enter the code?
The MEXC signup page has a "Referral code" field: enter mexc-NOVA888 and submit. Entering through the link above fills it automatically, with nothing to type — which is also the surest way not to get it wrong.
How much does it earn?
By tier. MEXC starts at 50%, reaches SVIP 55% by trading, and tops out at 60%:
The three ways people get this wrong
- Dropping the prefix and typing NOVA888. This trap is specific to MEXC: every other exchange's code is plain NOVA888, so typing from memory drops the mexc- prefix — and a wrong code is the same as no code.
- Clicking another referral link mid-signup. The later one overwrites the first. Pick your code and go through that one link end to end.
- Assuming it can be added later. A MEXC referral code can only be entered at signup; once the account exists it cannot be added or changed. Miss it and rebinding is the only route.
What is this code actually worth?
Using MEXC futures rates (taker 0.04%, maker 0.01%) at 70% taker fills, the blended rate is 0.031%:
| Monthly volume | Monthly fee | At 20% (auto only) | At 60% (bound, max tier) | Yearly gap |
| 100,000 USDT | 31 USDT | 6.2 | 18.6 | ~149 |
| 500,000 USDT | 155 USDT | 31 | 93 | ~744 |
| 2,000,000 USDT | 620 USDT | 124 | 372 | ~2,976 |
MEXC has the lowest fee base of the seven (0.04% futures taker), so the same percentage gap converts into less money than elsewhere — but the rate you actually pay is also in the lowest band. The effective rate calculator converts it to your own numbers.
Does the code expire?
No. A MEXC referral relationship is written at account creation and holds permanently — not a campaign code, no expiry, no quota. What changes is the percentage, not the code. And because a binding is nearly impossible to change, binding to the wrong party is hard to undo.
Specific to MEXC: the lowest fees of the seven
MEXC's list rates are the lowest set of the seven: futures maker 0.01%, taker 0.04%; spot maker 0%, taker 0.05%. The five major exchanges charge 0.05%–0.06% futures taker and 0.10% spot taker.
This produces a counter-intuitive result: MEXC's 60% rebate ceiling is below the 70% on Gate and WEEX, but because the fee base is smaller, the post-rebate effective rate is almost the same as Gate's — in the lowest band of the seven. Full comparison in the MEXC fee rebate guide.
Already registered without a code?
A MEXC referral code cannot be added after signup, but one MEXC KYC can register up to 2 accounts: sign up again with a new email via the dedicated link, confirm mexc-NOVA888 is pre-filled, then bind the new account's UID on the rebate platform. If both accounts are already used, close one and wait 15 days. Steps in the MEXC rebind guide.
Why do different sources offer different rebates?
1. Direct partnership versus a resold sub-affiliate
We hold direct, long-term agreements with each exchange. Many codes online belong to individuals operating as sub-affiliates — and affiliate status is reviewed. If that person fails review or is downgraded, the rate their users receive is affected directly. You are bound to them, not to the exchange.
2. Whether they are still around
A common pattern: an individual code promises manual top-ups, pays for a few months, then stops answering — and a binding is almost impossible to change, so you stay locked in while still paying fees.
3. How much they give back
We pass most of the share to users and rely on the relationship lasting. Actual percentages are in the tier table above and shown live on the rebate platform (Quant Nova).
FAQ
Why does the MEXC code have the mexc- prefix?
The partner account code itself is mexc-NOVA888. Binance, OKX, Bybit and Bitget use NOVA888, Gate uses QUANTXXX, and WEEX uses lowercase nova888. Without the prefix it does not register.
How much does MEXC code mexc-NOVA888 earn?
Up to 60%: 20% automatic from MEXC plus up to 40% more by tier from the rebate platform. Lv.1 already pays 50% with no threshold.
Does using a code cost more in fees?
No. You pay MEXC's published rates either way; the code only determines how much comes back. People who skip it pay the same and get nothing.
MEXC's rebate is lower — is binding still worth it?
The percentage is lower because the fees are lower to begin with. The post-rebate effective rate works out almost identical to Gate's, in the lowest band of the seven. The effective rate calculator takes your own rates for an exact answer.
When does the rebate arrive?
MEXC charges first and refunds later. Once your UID is bound, rebates and tier points are recorded on the rebate platform (Quant Nova), viewable and withdrawable.
