Humanity Protocol has shared a recovery plan for H holders after the June 8 incident that forced the project to pause its old token.
SummaryThe team said the former H tokens on Ethereum, BSC, and Humanity Mainnet have now been sunsetted.
“We know the wait has been hard, and your patience through this has meant everything to us,” Humanity Protocol said.
The project said a new H token will be airdropped to existing holders across Ethereum, BSC, and Humanity Mainnet.
The new asset will still trade under the ticker H. Humanity Protocol said it has deployed a new audited ERC-20 contract on Ethereum to replace the old tokens and support the migration.

Humanity Protocol said it took snapshots of holder balances just before the attack. The snapshot time was June 8, 2026, at 17:25:35 UTC.
The snapshot block heights were 25,274,179 on Ethereum, 103,071,069 on BSC, and 24,247,803 on Humanity Mainnet. The new H token will be distributed at a 1:1 ratio based on those balances.

The new Ethereum contract address is 0xE76c5b78f93909d34404E9eb4C1f19e7582a5dE1. Humanity said eligible externally owned accounts will receive the new tokens directly.
Non-EOA balances, such as H held in liquidity pools or smart contracts, will move into a vault. The team said it will coordinate directly with affected parties to decide where those funds should be sent.
Humanity Protocol also created an H Compensation Fund for cases that cannot be handled through the automated airdrop. These include third-party protocol integrations and decentralized liquidity provider balance differences.
The fund will also cover legitimate users who bought H after the snapshot and still hold the token. The team said these users must complete identity verification before any compensation is processed.
“Because the exploit has been linked to DPRK-affiliated actors, we are working closely with the relevant authorities on AML compliance,” Humanity Protocol said.
The project also warned users to avoid fake claim links. It said official announcements will only come from verified channels, while exchange users should follow updates from their own trading platforms.
As crypto.news reported last week, Quantstamp linked Humanity Protocol’s exploit to tactics associated with North Korea-linked hackers. The investigation found that attackers accessed seven private keys stored on a malware-infected developer machine.
As previously reported, the attacker drained about 141 million H tokens from the Ethereum bridge and minted additional tokens on BSC. Humanity Protocol said the breach came from stolen credentials, not a flaw in its token contracts, bridge contracts, or Safe setup.
Meanwhile, Humanity traded near $0.203 on June 16, down 51% over 24 hours but still up 30% over seven days, according to crypto.news market data.
The recovery plan now shifts attention to execution. Humanity Protocol said it will relaunch Humanity Mainnet in the coming weeks, with the new H token used as the native gas token.
The project said it is working with centralized exchanges, bridges, liquidity providers, and partners on the migration. Holders will now watch the airdrop, claims process, exchange updates, and mainnet relaunch timeline.
