Humanity Foundation Adjusts $H Token Vesting Plan with April 26 Deadline; Trix Ventures Opts for Discounted Immediate Unlock

Gate News message, April 24 — Humanity Foundation has announced a major adjustment to its $H token vesting schedule, requiring investors to choose between two options by April 26, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. Under the first option, the cliff is extended to September 25, 2026, with tokens distributed equally over 12 quarters. The second option offers a 3:10 discount for immediate unlock, replacing 16,666,666 $H tokens with 5,000,000 $H (a 70% reduction), with full distribution on June 25, 2026.

The foundation has notified over 100 investors of the adjustment. Early-stage investor Trix Ventures has publicly disclosed its choice of the discounted immediate unlock option. According to reports, Trix Ventures invested at a project valuation of approximately $60 million and is projected to achieve roughly 7x returns even after the 3:10 discount conversion.

Humanity Protocol has previously established a deep partnership with payments giant Mastercard, gaining endorsement from traditional financial institutions. The project operates in the on-chain identity authentication sector, which remains in early stages but is expected to experience exponential growth as AI-generated content and automated accounts expand. The sector is viewed as having long-term potential to become a leading Web3 infrastructure project.

Market analysts have highlighted risks associated with the June 25 one-time unlock, noting that concentrated token releases face significant selling pressure. Historical precedents such as Starknet (STRK), which declined over 95% from its peak, and ApeCoin (APE), which fell 77% within seven months following large-scale unlocks, underscore the potential volatility.
