Update Meter struct to store multiple rates
- Location:
lib.rsstruct definition (lines 25-42) - Changes:
off_peak_rateandpeak_ratefields added
- Location:
- Constants defined (4 new constants)
- Helper functions added (2 functions:
is_peak_hour(),get_effective_rate()) - Meter struct updated (2 rate fields)
- Registration functions updated (2 functions)
- Claim function updated (uses dynamic rates)
- Deduct units updated (uses dynamic rates)
- Expected depletion updated (uses off-peak rate)
- Existing tests updated (1 test:
test_prepaid_meter_flow()) - New test for peak vs off-peak (1 test:
test_variable_rate_tariffs_peak_vs_offpeak()) - New test for deduct_units variable rates (1 test:
test_variable_rate_deduct_units_respects_peak_hours())

Timestamp: 46805 (13:00 UTC) → Off-peak
Expected deduction: 5 seconds × 10 tokens/sec = 50 tokens ✓
Timestamp: 68405 (19:00 UTC) → Peak
Expected deduction: 5 seconds × 15 tokens/sec = 75 tokens ✓
Off-peak rate: 10 tokens/second
Peak rate should be: 10 × 3 / 2 = 15 tokens/second ✓
Multiplier verified: 1.5x ✓
Off-peak: 10 units × 20 tokens/unit = 200 tokens ✓
Peak: 10 units × 30 tokens/unit = 300 tokens ✓
The code has been written and structured following Soroban SDK best practices. When compiled with:
cd contracts/utility_contracts
cargo testExpected behavior:
- ✓ All existing tests should pass with updated field names
- ✓ New variable rate tests should verify peak/off-peak logic
- ✓ No compilation errors
- ✓ No warnings related to the new code
If code currently uses meter.rate_per_second:
Before:
let cost = elapsed * meter.rate_per_second;After:
// Option 1: Use off-peak rate (conservative)
let cost = elapsed * meter.off_peak_rate;
// Option 2: Use time-aware rate (accurate)
let cost = elapsed * get_effective_rate(&meter, now);- Peak hours fixed at 18:00-21:00 UTC (not configurable)
- Single peak period per day
- No rate change history
- Uses off-peak rate for depletion estimation
- Make peak hours provider-configurable
- Support multiple peak periods
- Add rate change event logging
- Dynamic depletion calculation per time period
- Seasonal rate adjustments
- Regional timezone support
- Integration with external price oracles
Before deploying to production:
- Run full test suite:
cargo test - Verify compilation:
cargo check - Build WASM contract:
stellar contract build - Review test snapshots
- Verify all existing tests pass
- Verify new tests pass
- Update API documentation
- Notify integration partners of breaking change
- Provide migration timeline
