#Mango Markets is shutting down.#
Hot Topic Overview
Overview
Mango Markets, a decentralized exchange on Solana, announced that it will cease operations on Monday. This decision comes in the wake of the $110 million exploit that occurred in October 2022, as well as a settlement agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC settlement requires Mango's governance DAO to burn its MNGO token and delist it from all exchanges, making most of the lending on Mango economically infeasible. Mango v4 and Boost are being shut down gradually, and Mango Markets will cease operations.

Analysis
Mango Markets announced it will cease operations on Monday in connection with a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a decision by its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In October 2022, Mango Markets was the victim of a $110 million exploit. The SEC settlement requires Mango's governance DAO to destroy its MNGO tokens and delist them from all exchanges. This led the DAO to propose making the majority of the exchange's lending "economically unviable," a proposal that goes into effect at 8 p.m. UTC on Monday, January 13. The closure of Mango Markets marks another setback for the Solana ecosystem and highlights the regulatory and security challenges faced by DeFi projects.
