Humanity to airdrop new Ethereum H token 1:1 after cross-chain attack

Binance Alpha, Bybit, MEXC, Bitget, KuCoin and Gate are supporting Humanity Protocol’s 1:1 H token swap, as the project replaces the old token after a cross-chain attack and consolidates issuance on Ethereum.

Fact Check
Two independent reputable crypto news outlets (crypto.news and Cryptobriefing) report consistent details that match the claim exactly: the original H token was sunset/delisted after a hack and replaced with a new audited Ethereum ERC-20 token distributed 1:1 to eligible pre-attack holders across three chains (Ethereum, BSC/BNB Chain, and Humanity Mainnet), excluding attacker-linked addresses. Both cite the official @Humanityprot announcement, which is verified as a real post dated 2026-06-16. CoinMarketCap corroborates the underlying June 8 exploit. The only minor gap is that the official announcement page content itself was not directly retrievable beyond the X link, but the convergent independent reporting strongly supports the claim.
Summary

Humanity Protocol said it sunset and delisted the original H token on Ethereum, BSC and Humanity Mainnet after a cross-chain attack, replacing it with a new audited ERC-20 token on Ethereum that will be distributed 1:1 to eligible pre-attack holders. Exchange support has expanded to six venues: Binance Alpha, Bybit, MEXC, Bitget, KuCoin and Gate. Bitget said it will convert eligible users’ old H balances into new H at a 1:1 ratio, with deposits and withdrawals suspended during the swap while trading remains open. Humanity Protocol said addresses linked to the North Korea-linked attacker will be excluded, and some users will need to claim through an official compensation fund that requires KYC.
