HumidiFi Public Sale Hit by Bot Attack; Project Announces Compensation and Relaunch Plan
(Source: HumidiFi)
According to recent reports, HumidiFi’s first token public sale on December 5 was severely disrupted by a flood of bots. Automated tools used multiple wallets and smart contracts to snap up tokens at high speed, causing nearly all tokens to sell out instantly. As a result, regular participants had no chance to purchase.
Public Sale Blocked: Bot Activity Prevents Community Access
In its official statement, the team said that as soon as the public sale opened, a large number of abnormal addresses flooded in. Bots leveraged smart contracts to place bulk orders, instantly buying out the token supply. Genuine community users were locked out of the rush, making it impossible for ordinary participants to complete transactions at launch. The project team expressed deep regret over the situation. HumidiFi stressed that this incident was not part of its original plan, and its commitment to fair participation was undermined.
Project Response: Relaunching Tokens and Compensating Wetlist Users
To support the community and address the losses caused by the incident, the HumidiFi team announced these actions:
- Launch a new token and restart the sale
- Distribute proportional airdrops to Wetlist JUP staking users
- Ensure exploited bot addresses will not receive any new tokens
These measures are designed to guarantee that genuine community members receive fair opportunities.
Public Sale Relaunch: New Contract Audited by Security Team
HumidiFi also announced that the public sale will reopen next Monday, with more robust technical safeguards:
- The new public sale contract is developed in partnership with the Temporal team
- It has passed security review by osec.io
- The new design aims to deliver fairer participation and prevent a repeat of previous issues
The team stated that the revamped structure will better protect user experience and supports the project’s core goal of returning liquidity to the community.
Summary
This incident exposed vulnerabilities in the public sale process, but HumidiFi’s rapid response and remediation plan demonstrate its commitment to the community. With the new contract and relaunch, the market will reevaluate whether the project can restore user trust by reinforcing fairness.
