NEXPACE Launches MapleStory N, NXPC Token on Seven Exchanges

NEXPACE, a blockchain company based in Abu Dhabi, has launched MapleStory N, a blockchain-powered MMORPG, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the 23-year-old MapleStory IP. This launch is accompanied by the debut of the NXPC token, which is integral to the MapleStory Universe (MSU) ecosystem. The NXPC token is now live on seven leading exchanges, including Bitget, Bithumb, Binance, Bybit, Gateio, KuCoin, and Upbit, indicating a successful Web3 gaming token debut.

MapleStory N integrates the nostalgic 2D visuals and classic gameplay of the original MapleStory 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 introduces Synergy Apps, allowing fans, creators, and builders to develop their own content and decentralized applications, reflecting the legacy of user-generated creations in the original MapleStory franchise.

The NXPC token represents a major evolution of MapleStory’s in-game economy by enabling true asset ownership and player-driven item markets. The MSU’s Fusion-Fission model allows players to redeem NXPC for collections of NFTs and exchange collections of NFTs back into NXPC, creating a self-balancing system that 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 that MapleStory N and the NXPC token address long-standing issues in traditional gaming, such as 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, forming the engine of a community-led digital economy.

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 economies and community-led creativity, evolving gaming worlds beyond 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.

MSU is now reshaping the Web3 gaming landscape, launching its NXPC token across seven major exchanges and showcasing one of the most impactful blockchain gaming debuts in recent years. NEXPACE, with its mission to redefine interactive entertainment, creates a vibrant space for exploring, sharing, and engaging with diverse content and gameplay crafted by community members. The company fosters a culture of creative expression, envisioning a secure, collaborative environment that unites ecosystem participants in a thriving digital community.
