ranks among the most successful Web3 gaming token debuts
NEXPACE, the Web3 IP-expansion initiative backed by Nexon, today announced the official launch of MapleStory N, a blockchain-powered MMORPG. Together with the game, NEXPACE also debuted the NXPC token, integral to the MapleStory Universe (MSU) ecosystem, on seven leading exchanges, including Bitget, Bithumb, Binance, Bybit, Gateio, KuCoin, Upbit. This joint milestone marks a major step forward for NEXPACE’s MSU, bringing the iconic 23-year-old gaming IP to the blockchain for the first time.
MapleStory N blends 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 complete quests, battle monsters, all while earning, crafting and trading assets that hold real world value. The broader MSU platform also introduces Synergy Apps, allowing fans, creators, and builders to develop their own content and decentralized applications. This reflects the legacy of the original MapleStory IP franchise, where user-generated games and creations flourished.
The NXPC token further marks 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.
