HumidiFi’s public sale crashed last night—a swarm of bots teamed up to snipe the launch.

What happened? Tens of thousands of wallets, each loaded with 1,000 USDC, rushed in together. In one wave, 24k USDC was thrown in, swapped for 35k WET, and after a few rounds the entire allocation was drained. Real community members? Didn’t even get a taste.

But the project team responded quickly:
They’re preparing a new token, and users who were on the Wetlist or staked with JUP will be compensated proportionally via airdrop. As for those sniper addresses? Sorry, they’re blacklisted—won’t get a cent.

This whole incident is a wake-up call for any project planning a public sale—bot protection is something you really need to have in place ahead of time.

Haha, finally some projects are getting smarter. I’m profiting from this blacklist move.

Same old trick again. Bot sniping is getting more and more rampant; they should have been blacklisted long ago.

From the source code level, this sniping bot process does indeed expose several engineering flaws in the public sale. Tens of thousands of wallets, fixed allocation, batch calls—these features are too easy to identify. In theory, the project should have implemented nonce checks and timelock mechanisms to defend against this approach.

Bots sniping is really outrageous, why didn't anyone prevent it in advance? --- Using a blacklist is a ruthless move, but this should have been done long ago. --- Wait, can stakers really get their share proportionally? Still feels like a huge loss. --- Thousands of wallets acting together—the coordination is insane... this is definitely organized. --- With both bots and blacklists, what's the point of a public sale? --- The project team may react quickly, but real retail investors have already been wiped out. --- Why wasn't anti-bot protection implemented earlier? It's too late to realize it now. --- Ha, airdrop compensation? I doubt it. The problem is, how do you prove you're not a sniper address?

Same old trick again—bots sniping as usual, but this time the project team’s countermeasures are pretty tough. --- Blacklist means instant death sentence—this is the ultimate move to stop botters. Just hope other projects can learn from this. --- As long as Wetlist stakers are compensated, I’m relieved. At least the real community didn’t get completely rekt. --- Sweeping from 24k to 35k, that margin play was really satisfying. No wonder bots are flocking in droves. --- Anti-sniping measures need to start at the contract level. Last-minute fixes are useless. --- Waiting to see the follow-up airdrop compensation plan. Feels like HumidiFi’s handling is pretty decent this time. --- Thousands of wallets acting at once—how rampant is that? Any project with basic protection awareness can block it. --- It’s heartbreaking when community players don’t even get a taste—this is why you need to stake early. --- I love the phrase “served with a blacklist.” Bots deserve to be dealt with this toughly.
