Deploy.s.sol sets s_merkleRoot = 0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05. Running makeMerkle.js to regenerate this root produces it for allocations of 25 * 1e18 per address — treating USDC as if it had 18 decimals.
USDC on zkSync Era has 6 decimals. The correct allocation is 25 * 1e6. The script correctly sets s_amountToAirdrop = 4 * (25 * 1e6) and funds the contract with 100e6 tokens — but the Merkle root encodes amount = 25e18 in every leaf.
A user presenting a proof for (account, 25e6) gets MerkleAirdrop__InvalidProof — the leaf doesn't match the root. A user presenting a proof for (account, 25e18) passes proof verification but the contract only holds 100e6 tokens and the safeTransfer reverts with insufficient balance. Every claim path fails.
Likelihood:
The mismatch is present in every deployment using this script. No special conditions are required — every eligible user is affected from block 0.
Impact:
All 4 eligible recipients are permanently locked out. No claim can succeed: the correct USDC amount fails proof verification, and the 18-decimal amount exceeds the contract's entire balance. The 100 USDC funded into the contract is irretrievable without an emergency withdrawal function (which does not exist).
The test deploys an airdrop using the Deploy script's Merkle root but funds it with 25e6 USDC per address. Alice attempts to claim with the correct USDC amount (25e6) and receives InvalidProof — proving the root was built for a different amount.
The revert confirms the Merkle root in the deploy script is incompatible with the actual USDC token decimals — no user can ever claim from a contract deployed with this script.
Regenerate the Merkle tree using the correct 25 * 1e6 amounts and update the root in the deploy script:
The test file already uses the correct root (0x3b2e22...) with amountToCollect = 25 * 1e6 — align Deploy.s.sol to match.
## Description `Deploy.s.sol` script provide the wrong value causing eligible address can not claim when the contract are deployed using the script. ## Vulnerability Details There are mismatch in value of merkle tree and merkle proof provided in `Deploy.s.sol` and `MerkleAirdropTest.t.sol` as the latter provided the correct value but the `Deploy.s.sol` script provide the wrong value causing eligible address can not claim when the contract are deployed using the script. NOTE: this assume the value of `s_zkSyncUSDC` used in `Deploy.s.sol` are already corrected using `0x1d17CBcF0D6D143135aE902365D2E5e2A16538D4` otherwise it would revert and not showing `MerkleAirdrop__InvalidProof` error. If we run `yarn run makeMerkle` the following value would be returned: ```bash Merkle Root: 0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05 Proof for address: 0x20F41376c713072937eb02Be70ee1eD0D639966C with amount: 25000000000000000000: [ '0x4fd31fee0e75780cd67704fbc43caee70fddcaa43631e2e1bc9fb233fada2394', '0xc88d18957ad6849229355580c1bde5de3ae3b78024db2e6c2a9ad674f7b59f84' ] ``` the Merkle Root value `0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05` are used in the `Deploy.s.sol` script: ```javascript @> bytes32 public s_merkleRoot = 0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05; // 4 users, 25 USDC each uint256 public s_amountToAirdrop = 4 * (25 * 1e6); ``` this is problematic because the intended value for every claim is `25 USDC` or `25 * 1e6` because USDC decimal is 6 instead of 18, and the above Merkle Root value are intended for `25 * 1e18`. the `claim` function cannot be called successfully because the contract only held `s_amountToAirdrop = 4 * (25 * 1e6)` USDC and user cannot claim `25 * 1e18` as this is wrong value. <details><summary>PoC</summary> Add your zksync rpc url `ZKSYNC_MAINNET_RPC_URL` to `.env` file.
