When you engage in contract trading via BitFrog using exchange APIs, the system provides a rebate based on your trading fees. To understand how rebate amounts are calculated, follow this detailed breakdown:
📌 1. Core Rebate Formula
The rebate amount is determined by:
Rebate = Net Fee × Rebate Rate Where:
- Net Fee = Actual Paid Fee × Net Fee Rate
📌 2. Why Use "Net Fee"?
Centralized exchanges (e.g., OKX, Binance) incur costs for order matching, market maker incentives, and other operational expenses. Thus, rebates are calculated not on the full paid fee but on:
💡 The "net fee" after deducting platform costs.
For example, OKX’s net fee rate typically ranges between 85%–90% (i.e., Net Fee = Actual Fee × 0.85–0.9).
📌 3. Calculation Example
Assume a BTC-USDT contract trade with:
- Trade Volume: 10,000 USDT
- Fee Rate: 0.05%
- Actual Paid Fee: 10,000 × 0.0005 = 5 USDT
- Net Fee Rate: 90%
- Rebate Rate: 30%
Rebate Calculation:
Net Fee = 5 × 90% = 4.5 USDT
Rebate Amount = 4.5 × 30% = 1.35 USDT 📌 4. Key Parameters
