Points
- Rho Markets lost over $7.5 million due to a potential exploit.
- The exploit involved draining over 2,203 ETH in nine minutes.

Rho Markets, a Scroll-based money market, has been hit with a potential exploit resulting in over $7.5 million in losses. The incident saw the draining of over 2,203 ETH in just nine minutes. In response, the Scroll blockchain was temporarily halted to determine if the breach was application-specific.
The exploit was traced to a price oracle misconfiguration, as highlighted by blockchain sleuth ZachXBT. An on-chain message from the agents responsible for the incident explained that their MEV bot profited from the misconfiguration. They expressed willingness to return the funds, provided Rho Markets admits the issue was a misconfiguration and outlines preventive measures for the future.
Given the address responsible has significant exposure to centralized exchanges, there is a good probability that the funds will be recovered. Over the past 24 hours, Rho Markets lost nearly $16 million in total value locked.
