# The SOL Miner game and the mini apps inside Cherry

> What runs inside Cherry chats in September 2026: the SOL Miner game, SOL Reclaim, Gib Meme and five more, with room sizes and how to open one.


The mini apps running inside Cherry chats in September 2026 are a mix of games and trading tools, and the SOL Miner game has the biggest room in the list below at 4,012 members. Cherry (cherry.fun) is a wallet-to-wallet messenger and community app for crypto: you sign in with a wallet, DM any wallet address, and join or create token-gated, NFT-gated, and paid group chats, with no phone number, email, or KYC. A mini app is a web app that opens inside one of those chats with your wallet and the room already known to it. This is the list of what runs there today, which apps Cherry built and which it only hosts, and what happens when you tap one.

## What runs inside Cherry in September 2026

Each of these apps has a public room with a handle. The room is the app's chat: players, traders, and the people shipping it are in the same place.

| Mini app | Room | What it does | Members (Sep 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOL Miner | `@solminer` | Stake SOL on cells of a grid; winners share the pool | 4,012 |
| SOL Reclaim | `@solreclaim` | Closes empty token accounts and returns the rent, less its own fee | 3,343 |
| BananaZone | `@bananazone` | Tap trading on Solana | 1,990 |
| Gib Meme | `@gibmeme` | A meme game with its own chat for players | 1,887 |
| Tramplin.io | `@tramplin` | Solana staking that pools rewards into random draws | 1,234 |
| Jupiter Swap | `@swap` | Token swaps routed across exchanges for the best price | 936 |
| Polymarket | `@predict` | Prediction markets via the Polymarket mini app inside Cherry | 733 |

Others are registered and running without a room in that table, among them Pachinko, Loyal, Domin8, Chainshorts, and "Don't push the horses". The Trading Terminal at `@trade` belongs on the list too: spot swaps, perpetual futures, and tokenized stocks in one place, covered on the [trading in chat](https://cherry.fun/learn/features/trading-in-chat/) page.

## The SOL Miner game, and who is behind the rest

SOL Miner is Cherry's own, and its room is the biggest of the seven above. Players stake SOL on cells of a grid, winners split the pool, and the room presents each draw as provably fair and verifiable by anyone. The chat is where results get argued over, which is the point of pairing an app with a room.

The rest of the games come from outside. Gib Meme pairs a meme game with a chat for the people playing it, and BananaZone does the same for tap trading. Tramplin.io takes a different shape: it is a Solana staking app that pools its rewards into random draws. All three rooms are public and ungated, so you can read the chat before you play.

Cherry does not build any of those. It lists the app, hosts its room, and hands it the wallet; the team behind the game writes the rules and holds the contract. Nothing here is an endorsement of any of them, and a game that takes a stake, Cherry's own included, is playing with real SOL that can be lost. Read what the room says about how a draw settles before the first tap.

## The utilities Cherry runs

Four more entries are Cherry's own, and they are tools with a chat attached.

SOL Reclaim is the clearest example. Every SPL token account on Solana carries a small SOL deposit for rent, and accounts left behind by tokens you no longer hold keep that deposit. The app finds them and closes them, with the close signed in your own wallet, and shows what you take home after its own fee. Its room had 3,343 members in September 2026, the second biggest of the seven above.

Jupiter Swap compares rates across exchanges and routes a trade down the cheapest path. The Polymarket mini app brings prediction markets into Cherry with no KYC and no fee added on top of the market's own. The Trading Terminal covers spot swaps, perps, and tokenized stocks for traders who want one screen.

## How a mini app opens in a room

Open the room and the app is already there. The apps above sit in public rooms with no gating, so joining takes one tap in the search results or on the room's page at chat.cherry.fun.

What happens next is the part a browser tab cannot do:

1. The room opens with the app filling the view. In the Cherry web app, the room header carries a three-way switch for full app, split view and full chat, so the game and the conversation can sit side by side on one screen.
2. There is no login step. The app is handed your wallet address, your display name, and which room you opened it from, so a result from the app can be shared back into the chat you came from.
3. Money still goes through your wallet. In the web app, a signature request raises a sheet titled "Approve transaction", "Approve and send transaction", or "Sign message", with a button that opens your wallet and a Cancel beside it. The app never holds your keys and cannot move funds on its own.
4. That share renders as a card inside the message, read-only, rather than as a link out of the room.

On the Seeker phone and in the iOS and Android apps the same web build runs in a native view, which is why a mini app reaches four surfaces without four releases. The mechanics are set out in more detail on the [mini apps](https://cherry.fun/learn/features/mini-apps/) page, and the term itself in the [crypto mini app](https://cherry.fun/learn/glossary/crypto-mini-app/) definition.

## What this means if you use Cherry

You keep one account for all of it. The wallet you signed in with is the wallet the game sees, so there is no second password, no email confirmation, and no separate app to install for each one. When something breaks, the complaint goes in the room where the people who built it are reading, which is a better support channel than a form.

The trade is that these rooms are open and ungated, so treat a DM from someone you met in a game room the way you would treat any cold DM in crypto. And keep the risk in view: SOL Miner, Tramplin.io, and the draw games take real deposits.

## Where Cherry fits for builders

Cherry's argument to builders is distribution without a native app. A mini app is a web app plus the Mini App SDK, published as `@cherrydotfun/miniapp-sdk` with React hooks, a wallet adapter for the standard Solana tooling, and a signer for newer clients. The same build then runs in the web app, in the iOS and Android apps, and on Seeker, and it lands in front of an audience that is already signed in with a wallet.

The rest of what Cherry offers a builder is the room: a community channel attached to the app from day one, direct feedback from players, and push notifications to bring people back. Cherry's tools are free, and Cherry Portal holds the project, API keys, bots and embeds for the same app. Registration of a mini app itself goes through the Cherry team as of September 2026.

If you have a Solana dApp already, [distribute a Solana dApp](https://cherry.fun/learn/guides/distribute-a-solana-dapp/) covers the reach side, including [the Seeker audience](https://cherry.fun/learn/guides/chat-app-for-solana-seeker/). Start with the [build a Solana mini app](https://cherry.fun/learn/guides/build-a-solana-mini-app/) guide, which covers how registration works, or open [chat.cherry.fun](https://chat.cherry.fun) and try one of the rooms above first.

## FAQ
