PANews reported on December 28 that Huma Finance, the PayFi protocol, stated on its X platform that some users reported their Vanguard badges were revoked after the Q2 airdrop event. In reality, holders need to continuously meet relevant staking requirements to retain their badges, including holding 10,000 HUMA tokens or staking 100% of the airdrop tokens received. However, some users did not fully understand this ongoing requirement. Huma Finance has temporarily restored the Vanguard badges and set a grace period, ending on January 5, 2026 at 00:00 (UTC).
