Why now
- Fee multiplier hikes and subsequent rollback occurred within days, causing immediate user impact.
- Aave's governance action coincides with sharp TVL and volume declines on Scroll in early April 2026.
- Ether.fi's product migration to OP Mainnet is a recent catalyst for Scroll's market contraction.
Why it matters
- Excessive fee increases on Scroll highlight risks of manual parameter changes in L2 fee oracles.
- Aave's deprecation of V3 Scroll reflects broader market shifts and declining activity on the Scroll network.
- The migration of key products off Scroll impacts liquidity and usage, influencing DeFi market dynamics on L2s.
