The blockchain version of the global classic MMORPG (MapleStory) - MapleStory Metaverse, today announces the full launch of its core governance token NXPC on mainstream exchanges (including Binance, Bybit, Upbit, etc.) and synchronously starts the public test of the blockchain game (MapleStory N). This milestone event not only marks the entry of a 23-year-old super IP into the Web3 era but also injects strong vitality into the GameFi field through an innovative token economic model and technical architecture.
1. NXPC Token: Reshaping player-driven game economy
NXPC is the governance token of the MapleStory Metaverse ecosystem, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens, distributed based on a proof of contribution mechanism. 80% is rewarded to community contributors through a halving model, with only 3% allocated to the development team (including a 9-month lock-up period) to ensure long-term fairness of the ecosystem. Its core functions include:
1. Asset Interoperability and Value Capture
Exchanging In-game Tokens (NESO): Players can use the official Swap feature to exchange NXPC for NESO at a fixed ratio for activities like equipment enhancement and item trading.
Minting Rare NFT Items: NXPC can be exchanged for NFT equipment (weapons, armor, etc.) generated from the official item pool. The total number of items in the pool is limited and updated periodically, balancing supply and demand through a 'Fusion-Fission' mechanism to avoid inflation.
On-chain Monetization Capability: NXPC can be directly exchanged for USDT on exchanges like Binance, ultimately converting to fiat currency, realizing a closed-loop economy of 'Play-to-Earn'.
2. Community Governance and Creation Incentives
NXPC holders can participate in voting on the rules for in-game item issuance and earn token rewards by developing derivative content (such as mini-games, guides), promoting content diversification in the ecosystem.
2. Technical Architecture: High performance with developer-friendly features
The MapleStory Metaverse is built on the Avalanche subnet**, supporting 500 transactions per second (TPS) with fees as low as $0.01, compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), reducing the barrier for Web2 developers to transition. Its technical highlights include:
Three Token Model: Governance Token (NXPC), Utility Token (NESO), and NFT assets form a closed loop, achieving a decentralized economic cycle.
Developer Tools: Providing SDK and multi-environment testing support, encouraging third-party developers to integrate into the ecosystem and expand gameplay.
3. Market Performance and Community Enthusiasm
NXPC has performed strongly since its launch:
Price Surge: Opening price rapidly rose from $1.36 to $3.98, with market capitalization once surpassing $4 billion, becoming one of the most notable GameFi tokens of 2025.
Airdrop Effect: Users participating in the Binance Alpha airdrop received an average of 198 NXPC (valued at approximately $575), igniting community enthusiasm on social media.
User Base: The initial pioneer test retention rate reached 82%, with over 190,000 transactions, validating the feasibility of the economic model.
4. Future Outlook: Dual upgrades in IP value and player roles.
The long-term vision of MapleStory Metaverse is to **transform traditional game assets into on-chain liquidity, releasing over $2 billion in IP value, and deepening the ecosystem through the following paths:
1. Cross-chain Expansion: Plans to connect to more public chains to enhance asset interoperability.
2. Content Co-creation: Launching 'Synergy Apps' to support players in developing independent games and tools, sharing ecosystem benefits.
3. Compliance Exploration: Actively responding to regulatory reviews such as the US SEC and optimizing the token model to meet global compliance requirements.
