Scroll team manually increased fee rate parameters, resulting in users being overcharged more than $50k in transaction fees within four days.

Summary: Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll overcharged approximately 139,000 transactions by more than $50k due to manually raising Gas price multipliers, with actual costs far exceeding expectations.
This incident has sparked external doubts about its subsidy strategy, and Scroll's TVL has also plummeted to $24 million.
According to Gate News, on April 13, based on analysis by L2BEAT, users of Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll were overcharged more than $50k in transaction fees within about four days.
The reason is that the Scroll team manually increased two fee rate multipliers in its Gas price oracle six times over six days, each time raising them by 2 to 10 times, cumulatively increasing the L1 data cost parameters to 1,280 times the original baseline.
Approximately 139,000 affected transactions originally cost only about $280, but were actually charged over $50k, mostly by automated bots.
L2BEAT pointed out that the overcharge was not due to a sequencer issue but resulted from the team executing multiplier adjustments via multisignature wallets.
This has raised external questions about whether Scroll previously subsidized users at below-cost rates to maintain activity.
According to DeFiLlama data, Scroll's current TVL is only $24 million, down 96% from its peak of $585 million in October 2024.
As of press time, Scroll has not publicly responded.
