The dark pool project Humidifi crashed today, with the public sale getting completely wiped out by a swarm of bots.
What happened? All the tokens were snapped up within seconds, and regular users didn’t even get a taste. Upon review, the team found that the snipers had deployed thousands of wallets, batch-called the DTF contract, and executed the sweep with highly professional tactics.
However, Humidifi responded quickly and announced they would issue a new token. This time, the rules have changed: Wetlist users and JUP stakers will receive airdrops proportionally, and all those sniper addresses will be blacklisted. As for the technical details of the new contract, the team is still working on it and will likely implement targeted protection upgrades.
This move serves as a warning to other projects—if you don’t have proper anti-bot mechanisms for public sales, you’re basically just giving money away to the bots.

Haha, it's the same old story again. Saw the same thing three years ago, but the problem is we never learn.
Bot washouts have long become a traditional performance. Humidifi responded a bit faster this time, which is at least conscientious. Giving a compensation airdrop isn't even the worst outcome.

Another sniping feast is here, and even new tokens can’t save it this time.
---
Can we please not have the anti-bot mechanism fail again this time? It’s really frustrating.
---
A thousand wallets acting at the same time—how familiar must they be with the contract... learned something new.
---
The wetlist airdrop is a good move—at least regular people get a small share.
---
The problem is, next time there will be another new project sending itself to the slaughter, what’s the point of upgrading defenses?
---
The team reacts quickly, sure, but can those sniped tokens ever recover?
---
Batch calls to the DTF contract—this wave is pretty technically advanced, but it’s still a trap for users.
---
Another new token to solve the problem? Feels like just another round for the snipers to cash in.
---
Anti-bot measures are truly an eternal arms race—one side upgrades, the other cracks it.

It’s the same old bot sniping trick again, and this time Humidifi got hit pretty hard.
These “scientists” are really getting more ruthless—over a thousand wallets got dumped in batches before the contract even had time to react.
But to be honest, Humidifi’s emergency response wasn’t bad this time: straight to the blacklist plus a compensation airdrop. At least they didn’t get wiped out completely.
Anti-bot measures really need to become standard now; every public sale is like this these days.

Same old trick again, the scientists have been waiting for this. Preventing bots is easier said than done. Humidifi really learned a lesson this time.

Here comes another anti-bot dumping ground. The arbitrageurs really made a killing this time.
