Scroll users were overcharged more than $50,000 in fees due to the team's manual adjustment of the rate parameters
According to L2BEAT analysis, users of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll were overcharged more than $50,000 in transaction fees within about four days last week. The reason is that the Scroll team manually adjusted two rate multipliers in their Gas price oracle six times within six days, increasing each by 2 to 10 times, cumulatively raising the L1 data cost parameter to 1,280 times the original benchmark.
Approximately 139,000 affected transactions originally had a total cost of only about $280, but were actually charged over $50,000, with automated bots accounting for the vast majority. L2BEAT pointed out that the overcharging was not an issue with the sequencer, but rather stemmed from the team's multiplier adjustments executed through a multi-signature wallet. This incident has raised questions about whether Scroll had previously subsidized users with rates below cost to maintain activity. According to DeFiLlama data, Scroll currently has a TVL of only $24 million, down 96% from its peak of $585 million in October 2024. As of the time of publication, Scroll has not publicly responded.
