+
+## Security Assessment
+
+✅ **SAFE**: No private/secret API keys found hardcoded
+✅ **SAFE**: The only hardcoded key is a documented public development key
+✅ **SAFE**: All other keys are referenced as environment variables
+✅ **SAFE**: Template files contain only empty placeholders
+✅ **SAFE**: Test files use mock/fake keys
+✅ **SAFE**: Smart contract addresses are public blockchain constants
+
+### Recommendations
+
+1. **Current State:** The repository follows security best practices by:
+   - Using environment variables for sensitive keys
+   - Providing empty template files for users
+   - Documenting the public development key appropriately
+   - Using mock keys in tests
+
+2. **Best Practices Being Followed:**
+   - ✅ No secrets committed to version control
+   - ✅ Environment variable usage for API keys
+   - ✅ Clear documentation for users on key management
+   - ✅ Proper separation of configuration from code
+
+3. **Optional Improvements:**
+   - Consider adding `.env` to `.gitignore` if not already present (appears to be handled via `.env.local` and `.env-local` naming)
+   - Document the Allora public key's limitations and rotation policy in user-facing docs
+   - Add security scanning to CI/CD pipeline to catch any future accidental commits
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This repository is **secure** with respect to API key management. No sensitive API keys have been exposed. All API keys are properly managed through environment variables, and the codebase follows industry best practices for secret management.
+
+The only hardcoded key (`UP-4151d0cc489a44a7aa5cd7ef`) is explicitly documented as a public development key for testing purposes and poses no security risk.

+
+**Assessment:** ✅ All sensitive keys properly use environment variable pattern
+
+---
+
+### 3. Configuration Files
+
+#### Template Files Analyzed:
+- 7 TypeScript example `.env-local` files
+- 5 Python example `.env.local` files  
+- 2 Jinja template `.env.local.jinja` files
+
+**Finding:** All configuration template files contain **only empty placeholders**
+
+Example:
+```env
+OPENAI_API_KEY=
+CDP_API_KEY_NAME=
+CDP_API_KEY_PRIVATE_KEY=
+```
+
+**Assessment:** ✅ No actual keys in template files
+
+---
+
+### 4. Test Files
+
+#### Mock Keys Identified:
+- `"test-api-key"` - Standard test placeholder
+- `"mock-api-key"` - Test fixture placeholder
+- `"alch-demo"` - Alchemy test key placeholder
+
+**Finding:** All test files use obvious mock values that are not functional keys
