that had $207 million in debt spread across multiple lending platforms – in a move that was supposed to backstop potential losses across the Solana ecosystem if the whale’s position were to be liquidated.Solana-based Mango, like other DEXs, relies on smart contracts to match trades between decentralized finance users.
