Humanity Protocol plans new H airdrop

• Humanity Protocol will distribute a new H token after retiring the previous version following a US$36 million exploit.
• Eligible holders will receive replacement tokens based on balances recorded before the June 8 attack.
• The project has established a compensation fund and plans to relaunch its mainnet with the new token.

Humanity Protocol said it will airdrop a new H token to eligible holders after retiring the previous H contracts following a June 8 exploit that resulted in losses estimated at approximately US$36 million.

The recovery plan uses balance snapshots taken on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Humanity Mainnet on June 8, 2026, at 17:25:35 UTC, with replacement tokens distributed at a one-to-one ratio.

“We know the wait has been hard, and your patience through this has meant everything to us,” said Humanity Protocol.

The project said it has deployed a new audited ERC-20 contract on Ethereum, while balances held in liquidity pools and smart contracts will be transferred to a vault pending coordination with affected users and protocols.

Humanity Protocol also created an H Compensation Fund for complex cases, including post-snapshot buyers and third-party integrations that require identity verification and compliance checks; following the announcement the token continued trading under the ticker H.

The recovery effort follows an investigation by Quantstamp that linked the attack to tactics associated with North Korean-affiliated threat actors and concluded that attackers accessed seven private keys stored on a compromised developer machine.

Humanity Protocol said the exploit resulted from stolen credentials rather than vulnerabilities in its token contracts, bridge infrastructure or Safe configuration, and added that the new H token will serve as the native gas token when Humanity Mainnet relaunches in the coming weeks.

At the time of reporting, Ethereum price was $1,793.61.
