+# Reveal Prediction Tests - Issue Resolution Summary
+
+## Issue Description
+Tests needed once Issue #1 (reveal_prediction implementation) is complete.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- ✅ Test valid reveal matches commitment
+- ✅ Test invalid salt rejection
+- ✅ Test double-reveal rejection
+- ✅ Test reveal after closing time rejection
+
+## Resolution
+
+### What Was Done
+
+1. **Verified Existing Implementation**
+   - The `reveal_prediction` functionality was already fully implemented in `contracts/contracts/boxmeout/src/market.rs`
+   - All required tests were already present and passing
+
+2. **Code Quality Improvements**
+   - Fixed unused variable warning: `commit_hash2` → `_commit_hash2`
+   - Fixed unused import warning: Removed unused `Ledger` import
+   - Reduced compiler warnings from 3 to 1 (remaining warning is in unrelated amm.rs file)
+
+3. **Documentation**
+   - Created comprehensive test documentation: `REVEAL_PREDICTION_TESTS.md`
+   - Documented all 13 reveal-related tests
+   - Mapped each acceptance criterion to specific test functions
+   - Added test execution instructions
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+All acceptance criteria are fully covered:
+
+| Acceptance Criterion | Test Function | Status |
+|---------------------|---------------|--------|
+| Valid reveal matches commitment | `test_reveal_prediction_happy_path` | ✅ PASS |
+| Invalid salt rejection | `test_reveal_rejects_wrong_salt` | ✅ PASS |
+| Double-reveal rejection | `test_reveal_rejects_duplicate_reveal` | ✅ PASS |
+| Reveal after closing time rejection | `test_reveal_rejects_after_closing_time` | ✅ PASS |
+
+### Additional Test Coverage
+
+Beyond the core requirements, the following edge cases are also tested:
+
+- No commitment rejection
+- Wrong hash rejection (wrong outcome)
+- Closed market rejection
+- YES pool updates on reveal
+- NO pool updates on reveal
+- Full lifecycle (commit → reveal → resolve → claim)
+- Multiple users with different outcomes
+
+### Test Results
+
+```
+test result: ok. 13 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured
+```
+
+All 13 reveal-related tests pass successfully.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### Files Modified
+- `contracts/contracts/boxmeout/src/market.rs` - Fixed code warnings
+
+### Files Created
+- `contracts/contracts/boxmeout/REVEAL_PREDICTION_TESTS.md` - Comprehensive test documentation
+- `REVEAL_PREDICTION_ISSUE_RESOLUTION.md` - This summary document
+
+## Branch Information
+
+- **Branch:** `feature/reveal-prediction-tests`
+- **Base:** `main`
+- **Commit:** d652179
+
+## How to Verify
+
+Run the tests:
+```bash
+cargo test reveal --manifest-path contracts/contracts/boxmeout/Cargo.toml
+```
+
+Expected output: All 13 tests pass.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Review the pull request
+2. Merge to main branch
+3. Close the related issue
+
+## Conclusion
+
+All acceptance criteria for the reveal_prediction tests have been met. The implementation is production-ready with comprehensive test coverage, proper error handling, and clean code with minimal warnings.

+# Wallet-Based Rate Limiting Implementation
+
+## Summary
+
+Implemented wallet-based rate limiting with separate limits for authentication, predictions, and trades. All rate-limited responses now include the `Retry-After` header.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Updated Rate Limiting Middleware (`backend/src/middleware/rateLimit.middleware.ts`)
+
+#### Key Changes:
+- **Wallet-based key generation**: Rate limits now use wallet address (Stellar public key) instead of just IP
+- **New rate limiters added**:
+  - `predictionRateLimiter`: 10 requests/min per wallet
+  - `tradeRateLimiter`: 30 requests/min per wallet
+- **Updated existing limiters**:
+  - `authRateLimiter`: Changed from 10/15min to 5/min per wallet/IP
+  - All limiters now use wallet address when available
+- **Retry-After header**: All rate-limited responses include `retryAfter` field and header
+
+#### New Helper Functions:
+```typescript
+// Get wallet address from authenticated request
+function getWalletKey(req: any): string {
+  const authReq = req as AuthenticatedRequest;
+  return authReq.user?.publicKey || getIpKey(req);
+}
+
+// Custom handler to add Retry-After header
+function createRateLimitHandler(message: string) {
+  return (req: Request, res: Response) => {
+    const retryAfter = res.getHeader('Retry-After');
+    res.status(429).json({
+      ...rateLimitMessage(message),
+      retryAfter: retryAfter ? parseInt(retryAfter as string, 10) : undefined,
+    });
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Updated Routes
+
+#### Markets Routes (`backend/src/routes/markets.routes.ts`)
+- Added `apiRateLimiter` to all endpoints
+- Added `tradeRateLimiter` to buy/sell share endpoints
+- Added placeholder routes for buy-shares and sell-shares
+
+#### Predictions Routes (`backend/src/routes/predictions.ts`)
+- Added `predictionRateLimiter` to commit and reveal endpoints
+- Added `apiRateLimiter` to read-only endpoints
+- Added placeholder routes for additional prediction operations
+
+### 3. Test Suite (`backend/src/middleware/__tests__/rateLimit.middleware.test.ts`)
+
+Created comprehensive test suite covering:
+- Auth rate limiting (5/min per wallet)
+- Prediction rate limiting (10/min per wallet)
+- Trade rate limiting (30/min per wallet)
+- Challenge rate limiting (5/min per public key)
+- Retry-After header inclusion
+- Wallet-based key isolation
+- Standard rate limit headers
+
+### 4. Documentation (`backend/RATE_LIMITING.md`)
+
+Created comprehensive documentation covering:
+- Rate limit configuration for all endpoints
+- Implementation details
+- Usage examples
+- Testing guidelines
+- Security considerations
+- Future enhancements
+
+## Rate Limit Summary
+
+| Endpoint Type | Limit | Window | Key | Applies To |
+|--------------|-------|--------|-----|------------|
+| Auth | 5 | 1 min | Wallet/IP | `/api/auth/login` |
+| Challenge | 5 | 1 min | Wallet/IP | `/api/auth/challenge` |
+| Refresh | 10 | 1 min | IP | `/api/auth/refresh` |
+| Predictions | 10 | 1 min | Wallet/IP | Commit/reveal endpoints |
+| Trades | 30 | 1 min | Wallet/IP | Buy/sell shares |
+| API General | 100 | 1 min | Wallet/IP | General endpoints |
+| Sensitive Ops | 5 | 1 hour | Wallet/IP | Profile updates |
+
+## Response Format
+
+### Rate-Limited Response (429)
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
+    "message": "Too many prediction requests. Please slow down."
+  },
+  "retryAfter": 45
+}
+```
+
+### Headers Included
+- `RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests allowed
+- `RateLimit-Remaining`: Requests remaining in window
+- `RateLimit-Reset`: Unix timestamp when window resets
+- `Retry-After`: Seconds until client can retry
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Met
+
+✅ **Rate limit by wallet address (not just IP)**
+- Implemented `getWalletKey()` function that uses `publicKey` from authenticated user
+- Falls back to IP for unauthenticated requests
+
+✅ **Separate limits: auth (5/min), predictions (10/min), trades (30/min)**
+- `authRateLimiter`: 5 requests/min
+- `predictionRateLimiter`: 10 requests/min
+- `tradeRateLimiter`: 30 requests/min
+
+✅ **Return Retry-After header**
+- Custom handler `createRateLimitHandler()` adds `Retry-After` header
+- Response body includes `retryAfter` field with seconds value
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+```bash
+cd backend
+npm test -- rateLimit.middleware.test.ts
+```
+
+## Security Benefits
+
+1. **Per-wallet limiting**: Prevents single wallet from abusing the system
+2. **IP fallback**: Protects against unauthenticated abuse
+3. **Separate limits**: Allows different thresholds for different operation types
+4. **Redis-backed**: Distributed rate limiting across multiple server instances
+5. **Retry-After**: Helps clients implement proper backoff strategies
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Tier-based limits (FREE, PREMIUM, VIP users get different limits)
+- Burst allowances for legitimate high-frequency trading
+- Automatic temporary bans for repeated violations
+- Rate limit analytics and monitoring dashboard
