Binding a rebate site changes nothing about your fees — it only changes how much comes back. What the same trade costs either way.
Registering on the exchange directly, using a "20%-only" KOL code, or binding an advanced rebate site — how much do your fees differ over time? More than you'd think. Here's the math, and why binding a rebate site costs you nothing extra.
Registering directly means giving up part of the rebate
Inside the fee you pay, the exchange already pays a commission to referral channels. The difference:
Direct signup (no referrer): the exchange keeps that commission — you get nothing.
A typical KOL code: you get the 20% the exchange auto-refunds.
An advanced rebate site: 20% + extra, up to 40%–70% depending on the exchange.

Perp taker is a standard-tier reference; actual fees vary by VIP level. Rebate rates are shown live on the platform.
On the same fee, the gap widens with your volume. Example: 500 USDT of monthly fees returns 100 USDT at 20% only, but 200–350 USDT via Quant Nova (by exchange) — thousands of USDT a year.
Does binding a rebate site cost extra or add risk?
No extra cost: rebate is charge-first, refund-after — your fee stays at list price and the rebate is refunded on top.
No asset access: you only bind your exchange UID; your assets stay in your own exchange account.
Withdrawable: Quant Nova's extra rebate is withdrawable, with a one-stop station showing every rebate, balance and tier live.

Quant Nova one-stop rebate station
Bind your exchange UID and get more of every fee back.
I already registered directly — can I switch to a rebate site?
Yes, by "rebinding". A referral code usually can only be entered at signup and can't be added later, so existing users rebind. Methods differ per exchange — see the Binance rebind guide and others.
Does a rebate site charge fees?
No. Rebate sites run on the commission the exchange pays; they don't charge you, and your fee doesn't get more expensive.
Does the rebate affect my orders or fills?
No. You trade on the exchange as usual; the rebate is refunded afterwards and has nothing to do with matching or fills.
Which exchange has the highest rebate?
By exchange: Gate and WEEX up to 70%, MEXC 60%, Bitget 50%, Binance/Bybit 40% (OKX is a public 20%). See the highest-rebate exchange ranking.
For any binding or rebate question, or to confirm what OKX offers beyond the 20% base, reach our support through the channels below.
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.
