Scroll released a report on its governance forum stating that it received a bug bounty report on November 3 targeting the Bundle proof verifier deployed on Ethereum Mainnet. On November 10, the team registered the patched verifier for Batch Version 10, and confirmed the vulnerability had not been exploited on Scroll’s mainnet. The announcement explained that older verifier versions, when making calls to the OpenVM 2.0 Halo2 verifier, treated the first four bytes of the proof provided by the caller as the function selector. If the proof started with a specific selector, it could bypass the intended fallback path, allowing an old valid proof to be accepted as a new public input, which would enable the final confirmation of any state root and withdrawal root. Exploiting the vulnerability required either an authorized prover role, or the forced batch mode that activates after seven consecutive days without final confirmation. Scroll noted that forced mode was never activated, all 748 final confirmations during the vulnerability’s existence used regular proofs, and earlier verifier versions were not impacted.

According to GMGN data, meme coin "mihao" briefly hit a $24 million market cap, surging over 30 times in 24 hours, with its current market cap standing at $22 million and trading volume reaching $53 million in the same period.

The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) has announced that crypto trading platforms will be permitted to conduct cryptocurrency transactions starting November 22, provided they first secure the central bank’s approval for relevant trading rules.

Additionally, the central bank clarified that trading platforms must register crypto transaction participants—including brokers, trust managers, and central counterparties—maintain order and trade records, and monitor transactions. Transaction organizers are also required to calculate price metrics such as spot prices, weighted average prices, market prices, and closing prices, and submit transaction progress and outcome data to the CBR using the same reporting format as for other existing assets.
