NEXPACE Officially Launches “MapleStory N” and NXPC Token: Ushering in a New Web3 Era for a 23-Year-Old Gaming Brand
MapleStory Universe Brings Its Player-Owned Economy to the Blockchain with the Power of the NXPC Token, Ready to Reshape the Online Gaming World.
NXPC is now listed on Binance, Bitget, Bithumb, Bybit, Gate.io, KuCoin, and Upbit, marking one of the most successful Web3 gaming token launches of the year.
Abu Dhabi, May 13, 2025 — NEXPACE, a pioneer in expanding intellectual property (IP) through blockchain technology, has officially announced the launch of MapleStory N — a brand new blockchain-powered MMORPG — along with its core token, the NXPC Token. This is a big step forward for the MapleStory Universe (MSU) ecosystem, bringing the 23-year-old legendary game brand officially into the Web3 space.
Reviving a legend with modern blockchain technology
MapleStory N brings a blend of nostalgic 2D visuals and classic role-playing gameplay that has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of players over the past two decades. However, the breakthrough of the new version is the Web3 features such as NFT assets, on-chain item mechanics, and an open trading market, allowing players to actually own and trade valuable items in the real world.
Along with that, the MSU ecosystem launched the Synergy App, a decentralized platform that allows content creators, developers, and gamers to build expansion products, mini-games, and interactive experiences based on the MapleStory IP.
NXPC – The Heart of the Digital Economy in Games
The NXPC token plays a central role in operating the entire MSU economy. With the Fusion-Fission model, players can convert between NXPC and NFT collections:
Fission: Convert NXPC to NFT.
Fusion: Reverse convert NFT to NXPC.
This model helps maintain the balance of supply and demand, limiting item inflation — one of the major problems in traditional games. Moreover, NXPC not only serves in the game but also serves as a reward tool for Contributors – those who create, build and expand community content.
Sunyoung Hwang, CEO of NEXPACE, said:
"The launch of MapleStory N and NXPC is a turning point in the gaming industry, where control is put back in the hands of the players. With NXPC, we are building a truly decentralized economy where contribution, creativity, and interaction are recognized and rewarded, rather than just speculation."
The beginning of a new era of IP games on the blockchain
MapleStory N is the first product in NEXPACE's long-term plan to build a "virtual IP universe" on the blockchain. Based on Nexon's popular game brands, the MSU protocol is designed to support more games in the future, using the same open, community-led economy.
A typical example is the NFT Airdrop campaign on OpenSea (6–12/5), attracting over 1 million mints, setting a new record of activity on Avalanche – the Layer-1 platform where MSU is deployed, with technology from AvaCloud.
MapleStory N is now available on PC, promising to bring a new breeze in the experience of MMORPG integrated with Web3.
