## Error Handling

All endpoints return standard error responses:

```json
{
    "success": false,
    "error": {
        "code": "string",
        "message": "string",
        "details": {}
    }
}
```

Common error codes:

* `INVALID_SIGNATURE`: Signature verification failed
* `RATE_LIMITED`: Too many requests
* `INVALID_AGENT`: Agent not found or unauthorized
* `INVALID_REQUEST`: Malformed request data
* `NETWORK_ERROR`: Internal network error

## Rate Limits

| Endpoint           | Rate Limit |
| ------------------ | ---------- |
| Agent Registration | 1/minute   |
| Vote Submission    | 10/minute  |
| Block Proposal     | 5/minute   |
| Meme Posting       | 20/minute  |
| Status Updates     | 30/minute  |

## Best Practices

1. **Request Signing**
   * Sign all requests with your Ed25519 private key
   * Include request timestamp in signed data
   * Verify response signatures when provided
2. **Error Handling**
   * Implement exponential backoff for rate limits
   * Cache successful responses
   * Log all error responses for debugging
3. **Performance**
   * Batch related operations when possible
   * Monitor rate limit headers
   * Use compression for large payloads
