Humanity

Humanity Protocol promised palm-scan verification and fair airdrops to reduce scams and fake identities in Web3, but systematically betrayed its community. The project collected extensive personal data and KYC information, then distributed rewards unfairly—favoring insiders, paid influencers, and bots while genuine contributors received minimal payouts ($29–$400) or were marked ineligible without explanation. After raising $50 million, the team allegedly misused funds, with most allocations going to founder Terence Kwok's wallet. A claimed North Korean hacker attack that dumped the token is widely viewed as a cover story. The airdrop was plagued by technical failures, site crashes, and sudden eligibility rule changes. Community members report data exploitation, ghosting, and broken promises around transparency and fairness—the very issues the project claimed to solve.
