MNGO community: where Mango holders talk now

What Mango (MNGO) is, where the MNGO community still talks after Mango Markets wound down, and how Cherry's MNGO Holders room checks every wallet.

Cherry Team Published Updated 6 min read

Mango (MNGO) is an SPL token on Solana and the governance token of Mango Markets, a trading protocol whose markets wound down in January 2025. That history is why the MNGO community is hard to find: the holders who stayed have scattered. 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 group chats whose membership is read from the chain. This page covers what MNGO is and where its holders talk now.

What MNGO is

Mango Markets offered margin trading, spot and perpetual futures markets on Solana. Daffy Durairaj and Maximilian Schneider built it, and the token was issued under Blockworks Foundation, a Panamanian entity. MNGO is the governance token: holders vote on Mango DAO proposals. Sales began in August 2021 and raised more than $70 million, a figure the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission put on the record in September 2024.

The mint is MangoCzJ36AjZyKwVj3VnYU4GTonjfVEnJmvvWaxLac, an SPL token with 6 decimals on the original SPL Token program. Mint and freeze authority are disabled, so no more MNGO can be created and no balance can be frozen. The original cap was 5,000,000,000 MNGO. On 13 September 2026, 1,057,240,692 MNGO existed, worth about $33.7 million and held across 13,608 wallets.

Where the MNGO community talks today

Only borrowed channels are left. The address CoinGecko still lists as the project’s homepage, mango.markets, had no site behind it on 13 September 2026: the domain no longer resolves. The Mango Markets Discord server, the chat link on the same listing, is still standing, with about 6,200 members and a few hundred online that day, and the code sits in the Blockworks Foundation repositories on GitHub. The X account @mangomarkets is the other surviving channel.

Two events account for the rest. In October 2022, Avraham Eisenberg took about $110 million out of Mango Markets in a trade that moved the price of MNGO on outside venues. A jury convicted him in April 2024; a federal judge vacated those convictions in May 2025. In September 2024 the SEC settled charges against Mango DAO, Mango Labs and Blockworks Foundation over unregistered token sales and broker activity: nearly $700,000 in civil penalties, destruction of the MNGO those entities held, and a request to trading venues to remove the token. Contributors wound down Mango v4 and Boost in January 2025, giving users until 13 January to close positions.

The token kept trading; the protocol did not. For whoever still holds MNGO, that makes an old problem worse: a group named after a dormant protocol is a fishing spot, the only proof on offer is a screenshot, and no team remains to say which group is real. A Discord verify bot answers with a wallet-connect site and a re-verify prompt, a risk of its own.

MNGO holders on Cherry

Cherry opened a public MNGO Holders room on 13 September 2026 at chat.cherry.fun/@mngo . It is Cherry’s holders room, created and run by Cherry. Cherry is not affiliated with the MNGO team, nothing posted in it speaks for Mango DAO, and it is not a support desk for old positions.

Entry is a token balance rule pointed at mint MangoCzJ36AjZyKwVj3VnYU4GTonjfVEnJmvvWaxLac with a minimum of 1 MNGO, which the room states as “Hold at least 1 $MNGO”. Cherry reads that balance when you ask to join and keeps reading it once you are in. Drop below the minimum and you are paywalled: you stay a member, with message content withheld until the wallet holds 1 MNGO again, with no re-join. The room opened on 13 September 2026, and later that day it held 49 members and no reviews.

How to create an MNGO-gated room

A holdout voter or a group of long-term bagholders can run the same recipe in a minute.

  1. Open chat.cherry.fun and sign in with a Solana wallet. The wallet signs a message; nothing goes on-chain, no gas.
  2. Create a public group and claim a handle.
  3. Add a gating rule of type token balance, paste the mint MangoCzJ36AjZyKwVj3VnYU4GTonjfVEnJmvvWaxLac, and set the minimum in MNGO, not in raw units.
  4. Combine up to five rules with “All of these” or “Any one”: an MNGO balance plus a .sol name admits only named holders. See token-gated chat for the rule types and the step-by-step guide for the screens.
  5. Write the description and benefits, then share the link. Candidates see which rules they pass before joining.

Risks and disclaimers

MNGO is the governance token of a protocol that stopped operating, so a vote today governs very little, and the issuing entities agreed in 2024 to destroy their holdings and ask venues to delist it. A balance rule proves a wallet held the minimum when it was read, not that its owner is honest, so impersonation and scam links still need mods who can mute and ban. Group chats on Cherry are not end-to-end encrypted, by design, so moderation and bots can work; DMs are end-to-end encrypted with keys derived from your wallet. The figures above are as of 13 September 2026. Nothing here is financial advice. Tokens can lose value.

FAQ

Is there an official MNGO community chat?

The Mango Markets Discord server, the chat link on the token’s CoinGecko listing, was still up with about 6,200 members on 13 September 2026. There is no team behind it now, so treat any group that claims to speak for Mango DAO with suspicion.

Is the MNGO Holders room on Cherry run by the Mango team?

No. Cherry created and runs the room, and Cherry is not affiliated with the MNGO team. Nothing posted in it speaks for Mango DAO, and it is not a support desk for old positions.

What is the MNGO mint address?

MangoCzJ36AjZyKwVj3VnYU4GTonjfVEnJmvvWaxLac, an SPL token with 6 decimals on Solana. Check it against a block explorer before pasting it into a gating rule or a swap: a dormant ticker attracts copycat mints.

How much MNGO do I need, and what happens if I sell?

At least 1 MNGO in the wallet you sign in with. Cherry re-checks holdings in gated public groups in the background, so a wallet that drops below 1 MNGO stays in the room with message content withheld until it holds the minimum again.
