Chart flows in and out of centralized exchanges from the Solana ecosystem. Has staking behavior changed on Solana since the hack? Note any trends or outliers you see in Solana defi.
Introduction
Mango Markets provides a single venue to lend, borrow, swap, and leverage-trade crypto assets through a powerful risk engine.
- Earn interest on deposits
- Cross-Margin / Cross-Collateralised
- Decentralised
Mango Markets is built on the Solana blockchain and utilises Serum DEX for spot margin trading while perpetual futures are traded on Mango Markets' own order book. Mango Markets is governed by MNGO token holders via the Mango DAO. Mango Markets is completely open source, we see this transparency as vital for the project as it increases the amount of people who understand and can improve the project. The DAO frequently sponsors grants for developers to extend, integrate with or try to break the project. Present your idea on the governance forum if you would like to receive financial support.
There are a number of ways to connect your trading system to the Mango Markets' on-chain programme. The easiest way for traders who are used to centralised exchanges, is to use the REST & WebSocket API that was purposefully designed to be easy to integrate. If you want to have the highest level of control, you will most likely want to communicate directly with the blockchain using one of the existing open source wrappers for TypeScript, Python or .NET.
If you are looking to get an overview of current & running efforts, we recommend that you join the biweekly developer calls on Discord (every two weeks on Saturday at 4PM UTC). If you just want to get started on a small project and contribute as part of a Hackathon, check out the Trello. The tasks there are proposed by different community members, usually not on the roadmap of any core developer and open for anyone to start.
Everything We Know About the Mango Markets Hack
Approach
- Hackers’ addresses are

- I use DefiLlama data (link) to see how Solana TVL has changed since the hack by comparing Oct 14 TVL vs Oct 11 TVL.
- I exclude
Pyth
transactions when analyzing activity. - Defi filters:
select
*
from solana.core.dim_labels
where 1=1
and label_type in ('dapp', 'dex', 'defi')
and label != 'pyth' -- oracle
- Users are addresses which sign transactions.

Conclusion
According to the above charts, we reach the following results:
- ==MANGO== token has experienced a price drop after the hack and the amount of transactions of this token has increased a lot after the hack.
- Hackers have stolen more than ==100 million dollars==.
- The volume of output from the Mango market has increased greatly after the hack, which shows that users have lost their trust in this market.
- After the hacking, the activity of ==Defi== projects has decreased a little, but the activity of ==CEX== has increased a little.
- Due to the increase in activity in the ==Solend== project and the decrease in activity in ==Mango==, probably the users of the ==Mango== market are moving to the ==Solend== project.
- According to the diagrams related to ==staking== of currencies in the Solana network, the hacking of the Mango market has not had much effect on this activity.
