Worldcoin Rival Humanity Protocol’s Token Crashes 88% as $30M Wallet Drain Sparks Security Panic

Humanity Protocol’s native token – H token – dramatically collapsed by nearly 88% on June 9 after falling from around $0.78 to nearly $0.099. The steep decline came after reports emerged of a major security incident involving wallets connected to the protocol. Multi-Million Dollar Hack On-chain investigator Specter first raised the alarm and revealed that more than 17 wallets holding H tokens were drained. Separate reports indicated that attackers stole private keys tied to the project and drained more than $30 million from those wallets. Humanity Protocol later confirmed that a security incident had occurred. In a post on X, the team behind the blockchain identity network revealed that private keys belonging to a member of the Humanity Foundation had been compromised. It urged users not to interact with the bridge or any liquidity pools until further notice. “We are actively working with leading security experts and our exchange partners to assess the scope of the incident and secure all affected systems. We’re deeply sorry that this has happened. Protecting this community is our responsibility, and we don’t take that lightly.” Not everyone accepted Humanity Protocol’s explanation of the incident. On-chain investigator ZachXBT pushed back against the project’s account on X and accused the team of aggressively promoting the token for weeks while offering little underlying value. He also called on the project to reveal any active market maker agreements involving a Hong Kong entity. In a separate post, ZachXBT went on to claim that the security breach appeared “possibly staged” and added that “it’s a convenient way for the active MM to have exited.” Humanity Protocol is a blockchain-based identity project that lets people verify they are real humans. It uses biometric data and privacy technology so users can prove their identity without sharing personal information. It was launched on mainnet last year and quickly gained traction as a rival to Sam Altman’s Worldcoin (now rebranded to World Network). Attacker Cashes Out Millions According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the attacker continued minting H tokens after the exploit, first creating 100 million H tokens on BNB Smart Chain before minting another 100 million. The hacker was found to have already sold a portion of the tokens, obtaining 18,510 ETH worth approximately $30.83 million and 1,548 BNB valued at around $924,000. Despite those sales, the attacker still holds about 111.36 million H tokens, which is worth almost $14 million at current prices. However, Lookonchain asserted that on-chain liquidity for the token is now nearly exhausted.
