🚀 Ethereum Layer 2 Network Scroll Faces Overcharging Issue
#Ethereum #Layer2 #Scroll #Overcharging #GasFees #Blockchain #DeFi #TVL #CryptoNews #TransactionFees #ETH #SCR
Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll has reportedly overcharged users by more than $50,000 in transaction fees over approximately four days. According to ChainCatcher, this occurred after the Scroll team manually increased two rate multipliers in their gas price oracle six times within six days, each time raising them by 2 to 10 times. This adjustment cumulatively increased the L1 data cost parameter to 1,280 times its original benchmark.
Approximately 139,000 transactions were affected, with the total cost originally estimated at around $280, but users were charged over $50,000. The majority of these transactions were automated by bots. L2BEAT clarified that the overcharging was not due to a sequencer issue but resulted from multiplier adjustments executed through a multi-signature wallet by the team. This incident has raised questions about whether Scroll previously subsidized users with below-cost rates to maintain activity.
Data from DeFiLlama indicates that Scroll's total value locked (TVL) currently stands at $24 million, a significant decline of 96% from its peak of $585 million in October 2024. As of the time of reporting, Scroll has not publicly responded to the issue.#Ethereum #Layer2 #Scroll #Overcharging #GasFees #Blockchain #DeFi #TVL #CryptoNews #TransactionFees #ETH #SCR

#Aave #Stani #AAVEtoken #DAO #AavePro #AaveApp #Horizon #RWA #fintech #cryptomarket #financialecosystem #tokenomics #blockchain #crypto #DeFi
Aave founder Stani recently shared insights on X regarding the strategic direction following the approval of the AWW proposal. According to ChainCatcher, Stani emphasized that Aave will adopt a model centered entirely around the $AAVE token. This approach grants holders not only economic rights within the protocol but also influence over the brand, user base, and integrated ecosystem. Revenue from all applications and products, including Aave Pro, Aave App, Horizon, and Aave Kit, will be redirected to the DAO treasury. Additionally, the exchange functions of Aave.com and Aave Pro have generated an extra $10 to $20 million in new income.
On the product front, the Aave App aims to deliver a fintech-grade experience to attract millions of users, offering each a $1 million account guarantee and plans to introduce a bank card. Aave Pro targets advanced users, while Horizon expands support for real-world assets (RWA). Stani highlighted the goal of growing Aave from a $40 billion protocol to over $1 trillion, positioning it as the foundational credit and repo market for the entire $400 trillion traditional financial asset sector.#Aave #Stani #AAVEtoken #DAO #AavePro #AaveApp #Horizon #RWA #fintech #cryptomarket #financialecosystem #tokenomics #blockchain #crypto #DeFi

🚀 South Korea Considers Including Digital Assets in Pension Calculations
#SouthKorea #DigitalAssets #PensionSystem #EconomicValue #FinancialPolicy #BasicPension #MinistryOfHealthAndWelfare #Blockchain #WealthManagement
South Korea's Audit and Inspection Board has recommended changes to the country's pension system to include digital assets in the calculation of basic pension eligibility. According to ChainCatcher, the board's report highlights the economic value of digital assets, which are currently excluded from the property scope defined by the basic pension law. This exclusion allows individuals with substantial digital assets to qualify for pension benefits.
The board argues that digital assets should be recognized as property with clear economic value, despite their differing form from traditional financial assets. The Ministry of Health and Welfare agrees with this assessment, acknowledging the need to prevent relatively high-income individuals from the lower 70% income bracket from receiving basic pension benefits. The ministry supports the inclusion of digital assets in the property calculation for pension eligibility.#SouthKorea #DigitalAssets #PensionSystem #EconomicValue #FinancialPolicy #BasicPension #MinistryOfHealthAndWelfare #Blockchain #WealthManagement

According to BlockBeats, Swihart likened the initiative to the Artemis II lunar mission, highlighting the pursuit of seemingly impossible goals through technological breakthroughs. The ZODL team revealed that Zcash is entering the 'Zcash IV' phase, aiming to build infrastructure akin to a 'lunar base' to support the protocol and applications' secure expansion to billions of users, while advancing the vision of privacy transactions without large-scale financial surveillance.
On the product and technology front, ZODL continues to iterate, with its 3.3.x version now available on iOS and Android, featuring new hardware wallet connection management, SDK upgrades, and multiple user experience enhancements. Key developments include advancing Keystone wallet functionality and upgrading the address system (ZIP 316, UIVK/UFVK). Meanwhile, the Zcash core team has addressed several system issues and is progressing with the Zallet alpha version development, strengthening unified address standards and wallet interaction experience to lay the foundation for future scalability and performance improvements.
Additionally, ZODL disclosed ongoing growth in application data and participation in a stablecoin privacy summit to enhance industry collaboration.

The team emphasized that privacy is not optional but a fundamental need in the digital age, and they will continue to accelerate delivery pace to promote ZEC adoption and ecosystem development.
The core of Zcash Open Development Lab is to develop an open, self-custodial private financial platform, aiming to expand ecosystem interoperability through collaboration and bring protected ZEC transactions to the global mainstream market.#Zcash #ZODL #PostQuantumSecurity #Cryptocurrency #Privacy #Blockchain #Scalability #UserExperience #KeystoneWallet #Zallet #Stablecoin #FinancialPrivacy #EcosystemDevelopment #DigitalPrivacy #OpenDevelopment #ZEC
🚀 RAVE's Price Surge Raises Concerns Over Market Manipulation
#RAVE #Crypto #MarketManipulation #PriceSurge #Liquidation #Blockchain #Trading #CryptoFund #ARPA #BellaProtocol #BEL
RAVE's recent spot price surged from $0.3 to $6.2, marking a 20-fold increase, sparking suspicions of contract manipulation within the community. According to ChainCatcher, this maneuver led to liquidations exceeding $37 million across the network, with short positions accounting for over $31 million. The project team is estimated to have profited more than $30 million.
Community reports suggest that the RAVE project is managed by the former ARPA and Bella Protocol team, led by Felix Xu and Yemu. In 2021, Felix Xu raised a $20 million crypto fund, ZX Squared Capital, primarily focused on quantitative trading. The fund reportedly provided the capital for RAVE's market-making and price-pumping activities, allowing the project team to self-initiate, self-fund, and self-market, thereby minimizing trust issues and insider trading risks to maximize profits.#RAVE #Crypto #MarketManipulation #PriceSurge #Liquidation #Blockchain #Trading #CryptoFund #ARPA #BellaProtocol #BEL
