Users on the Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll were overcharged more than $50,000 in transaction fees over a four-day period, according to L2BEAT analysis. The Scroll team manually increased rate multipliers in their gas price oracle six times within six days, leading to a cumulative increase in the L1 data cost parameter to 1,280 times the original baseline. Approximately 139,000 transactions, mostly automated bot activities, were affected, with costs rising from an intended $280 to over $50,000. L2BEAT clarified that the overcharging was not due to a sequencer issue but resulted from multiplier adjustments approved by a multi-signature wallet. This incident has sparked questions about whether Scroll previously subsidized users with below-cost fees to maintain network activity. Currently, Scroll's total value locked (TVL) stands at $24 million, a significant drop from its peak of $585 million in October 2024. Scroll has yet to issue a public response regarding the overcharging incident.
