Actual rebate formula:Your actual rebate = Total rebate rate - Discount rate you set for your friend
Example:You are Tier 1 (total rebate 20%) and set a 10% discount for your friend. If your friend pays 10 USDT in trading fees, you earn 1 USDT (20% - 10% = 10% × 10 USDT), and your friend saves 1 USDT.
⚠️ If you are Tier 1 but set a 20% discount for your friend, your actual rebate is 0—you get nothing.
