MapleStory N Launches Blockchain MMORPG with NXPC Token on Seven Exchanges

NEXPACE, a blockchain company based in Abu Dhabi, has launched MapleStory N, a blockchain-powered MMORPG, and the NXPC token, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the MapleStory Universe (MSU). The game and token are now live on seven leading exchanges, including Bitget, Bithumb, Binance, Bybit, Gateio, KuCoin, and Upbit.

MapleStory N combines the nostalgic 2D visuals and classic gameplay of the original MapleStory IP with new blockchain-native features such as NFTs, on-chain item mechanics, and open marketplaces. Players can earn, craft, and trade assets that hold real-world value while completing quests and battling monsters. The broader MSU platform also introduces Synergy Apps, allowing fans, creators, and builders to develop their own content and decentralized applications, reflecting the legacy of user-generated games and creations in the original MapleStory IP franchise.

The NXPC token represents a major evolution of MapleStory’s decades-old in-game economy by enabling true asset ownership and player-driven item markets. With MSU’s Fusion-Fission model, players can redeem NXPC for collections of NFTs (Fission) and exchange collections of NFTs back into NXPC (Fusion), creating a self-balancing system that curbs oversupply and supports long-term value. Beyond gameplay, NXPC powers a broader contributor reward system, incentivizing builders and creators to develop user-generated contributions that expand and enrich the MSU IP ecosystem.

Sunyoung Hwang, CEO of NEXPACE, highlighted the significance of this launch, stating, “The launch of MapleStory N and the NXPC marks a major evolution in how games are played and valued. MSU addresses long-standing issues in traditional gaming like item inflation and developer-controlled ecosystems, by giving real ownership to players. NXPC enables users to participate in a decentralized, self-sustaining ecosystem that rewards creativity, contribution, and engagement over speculation. Together, they form the engine of a community-led digital economy, reshaping how games are enjoyed and remembered.”

As the first implementation of NEXPACE’s virtual IP universe, MapleStory N and MSU set the foundation for future blockchain-powered gaming experiences. Backed by Nexon’s portfolio of globally recognized gaming IPs, NEXPACE’s protocol is designed to support the expansion of these titles through decentralized economy and community-led creativity, evolving the gaming worlds beyond the traditional models.

The excitement surrounding MSU’s first blockchain game was evident in the recent OpenSea Primary Drop Campaign, held from May 6 to 12, which saw over 1 million mints. Built on a custom Layer 1 chain using Avalanche, powered by AvaCloud, the campaign also drove Avalanche Network to record its highest number of Unique Active Wallets since the campaign’s launch day. MapleStory N is now live and available on PC.

NEXPACE’s mission is to redefine interactive entertainment by creating a vibrant space for exploring, sharing, and engaging with diverse content and gameplay crafted by community members. The company’s ecosystem is built on principles of transparency, security, and trust, empowering creators to freely share their ideas and enabling users to enjoy immersive experiences. By fostering a culture of creative expression, NEXPACE envisions a secure, collaborative environment that unites ecosystem participants in a thriving digital community.
