Scroll team manually increased the fee-rate parameters; users were overcharged with fees exceeding $50,000 within four days.

SCR1.05%

Gate News 消消息,April 13, according to L2BEAT analysis, the users of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll were charged more than $50k in transaction fees in about four days. The reason is that the Scroll team manually increased two rate multipliers in its Gas price oracle six times within six days; each time it raised them by 2 to 10 times, cumulatively increasing the L1 data cost parameter to 1,280 times the original baseline. About 139,000 affected transactions originally had a total cost of only about $280, but they were actually charged more than $50k, with automated bots making up the vast majority. L2BEAT said the overcharging is not a sequencer issue, but instead comes from the team executing the multiplier adjustments via a multisignature wallet. The incident has raised questions from the outside about whether Scroll previously subsidized users with fees below cost to maintain activity. According to DeFiLlama data, Scroll’s current TVL is only $24 million, down 96% from the $585 million peak in October 2024. As of the time of writing, Scroll has not yet publicly responded.
