Humanity Protocol’s H Airdrop: Now With More Exchanges and Existential Dread

by

Humanity Protocol’s new H airdrop has moved into the exchange execution phase, with major platforms posting support plans for eligible holders after the June exploit. Because nothing says “trust us” like a token swap after someone stole $36 million.

1 contract swap ratio for users. One old token for one new token. Revolutionary math.

The project said users who held H on Binance Alpha, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, MEXC, or Gate during the snapshot should follow each exchange’s process. The update comes after Humanity Protocol said it would replace old H tokens with a new ERC-20 token. Because the old ones are basically souvenirs now.

If you were holding $H on Binance Alpha, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, MEXC, or Gate during the snapshot, here’s how the new H airdrop will work on each exchange 👇

Humanity Protocol H airdrop reaches exchanges

Binance Wallet said Binance Alpha 2.0 will support the Humanity Protocol contract swap from BEP20 to the ERC-20 network. Trading was set to pause on June 17 at 08:30 UTC and resume at 12:30 UTC. A whole four hours of downtime. The horror.

Binance said the swap would be “conducted at a ratio of 1:1.” The exchange notice made Binance Alpha the most detailed part of Humanity Protocol’s latest exchange update. Which is like being the tallest dwarf.

Binance Alpha 2.0 will support the Humanity Protocol (H) contract swap from BEP20 to the ERC20 network.

Starting from 2026-06-17 at 08:30 UTC, Binance Alpha 2.0 will temporarily suspend trading for H to facilitate the contract swap. This swap will be conducted at a ratio of 1:1.…

Meanwhile, MEXC said deposits and withdrawals of H had been closed, but trading would not be affected during the contract swap. It said eligible platform balances will be swapped at 1:1 and the ticker will remain H. Because changing the name would be admitting something went wrong.

MEXC also said it will not swap tokens deposited after the closure and will exclude addresses and transactions linked to hackers. The exchange listed the old Ethereum and BNB Chain contracts and the new Ethereum contract. Basically, “we know who you are, and no, you can’t have your stolen money back.”

Bitget posted a similar update. It said H deposits and withdrawals had been suspended, trading would continue, and old balances would be converted into new H at 1:1 for eligible users. Copy, paste, done.

KuCoin said it will conduct the swap on a 1:1 basis for eligible H holders on its platform, regardless of when tokens were acquired. Gate said existing H tokens on its platform will be automatically included in the conversion. No manual claiming required. You’re welcome.

Recovery follows the June exploit

As previously reported by crypto.news, Humanity Protocol announced a new H airdrop after the June 8 attack forced the project to sunset former H tokens on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Humanity Mainnet. Because “sunset” sounds nicer than “we got hacked.”

The project said the new token will keep the H ticker and use a newly audited ERC-20 contract on Ethereum. The snapshot time for the new airdrop was June 8 at 17:25:35 UTC. Very specific. Very precise. Very “please don’t hack us again.”

Humanity Protocol said the new H token would be distributed at a 1:1 ratio based on pre-attack balances. It also said attacker-linked addresses identified in the recovery process would be excluded. Shocking that the hacker won’t get free money.

The team said, “We know the wait has been hard,” while outlining the recovery plan. The exchange updates now show how off-chain holders will be handled through centralized platforms. Because waiting is the real crime here.

Humanity holders await completion notices

As crypto.news reported earlier, the attack stemmed from compromised administrative keys tied to bridge infrastructure across Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain. The project said more than $36 million in H tokens was stolen. That’s a lot of zeroes.

Later forensic updates said a malware-infected developer machine exposed seven private keys. The attacker drained 141.2 million H from the Ethereum bridge and minted more H on BNB Smart Chain. One developer’s bad day cost everyone $36 million. Classic.

The exchange support plans reduce the need for many platform users to claim manually. Still, each exchange has its own rules on deposit cutoffs, paused services, old-token deposits, and later reopening dates. Because consistency would be too easy.
