On May 15, 2025, Nexon will officially launch the Web3 chain game (MapleStory N), adapted from the classic game (MapleStory). This news instantly ignited the memories of countless old players and injected a shot of adrenaline into the long-silent GameFi market.
For me, this is not just the beginning of a new cycle of chain games, but a dream journey spanning over a decade.
A real evolution of a player from 'virtual drops' to 'real gains'
I started playing (MapleStory) at the age of 12, when the gaming world was still a pixelated utopia. But I quickly discovered that behind this world lay a real economic system: during a boss fight, I obtained a 'gun' that I sold on the free market, earning my first real money.
In that moment, I realized: the virtual world can create real value.
So I began to study market prices, trading rhythms, and equipment circulation paths... By the age of 19, I had already saved my first pot of gold through trading game equipment. Later, I entered the crypto industry, traversed bull and bear markets, and witnessed countless gold farming games, Ponzi projects, and volatile rises and falls, until $$NXPC appeared.
This is not a simple 'IP shell' or another replica of a Web3 game, but Nexon's first attempt to push (MapleStory) into the deep water of blockchain.
$$NXPC character: not just a token, but an ecological anchor point
In the MapleStory Universe, nxpc is not a traditional 'governance token' or 'game points' but the core value that runs through the entire game ecosystem. It connects key systems such as equipment NFT minting, on-chain trading, player governance, and contribution incentives.
The current token distribution structure is as follows (total 1 billion tokens):
Early community: 16.317%, fully unlocked at TGE
Liquidity supply: 0.437%, fully unlocked at TGE
Contribution rewards: 80%, released periodically, no lock-up
Team and Advisors: Less than 1%, including cliff vesting and linear vesting
More critically, the expected circulation at launch will be less than 3%. Resource allocation and chip control are extremely restrained, possessing strong market control and narrative space.
Before launch, it has been confirmed to land on top platforms such as Binance Contracts, Upbit, Bithumb, Bybit, KuCoin, and Bitget, maximizing liquidity and visibility. The possibility of Binance spot listing has also emerged.
How much is nxpc? Inferring potential space from real valuation
We use market capitalization and circulation as a basis, referencing mainstream GameFi projects for horizontal comparison:
Current market capitalization comparison (circulation 17% reference):
GALA: 703M → nxpc 4.13
SAND: 691M → $4.06
MANA: 579M → $3.40
AXS: 369M → $2.17
Conclusion: Benchmarking the current industry leaders' market capitalization, $NXPC is between $2 and $4.
📈 Historical peak market value benchmarking:
GALA: 7B → nxpc
SAND: 6.9B → $40.54
MANA: 4.7B → $27.48
AXS: 2.6B → $15.29
MOBOX: 732M → $4.31
Conclusion: During a bull market outbreak, if narratives take shape + user surges + models run smoothly, the mid-to-long-term impact could be below $40.
Risks and opportunities coexist: determines nxpc
1. Platform density and depth: Will platforms like Binance continue to empower the spot market?
2. Web2 player's on-chain conversion ability: Real migration and on-chain retention are the key battles.
3. Token economic design and anti-bubble capability: Can deflationary repurchases and staking appreciation mechanisms stabilize core value?
4. Overall sentiment and rotation cycle of the GameFi sector: Is it an island surge or a collective explosion?
NESO: Is another variable emerging?
Recently, the community has reported: The MSU team has minted 2.3 million $NXPC at a ratio of 1:100,000, resulting in 230 trillion $NESO. This is not a simple 'airdrop token,' but could be an important part of the on-chain economic closed loop. It is possible that a deep connection of 'exchange → consumption → ecological feedback' will form in the future.
This injects the imagination of a 'second-layer token economy' into the entire game.
The last question: Are you ready?
Are you willing to bet between $0.5 and $1 on a potential ecosystem coin that could become the next SAND or AXS?
Do you believe that the combination of Nexon, MapleStory, and Web3 is a watershed moment for GameFi, rather than a temporary emotional harvest?
Are you willing to believe that the on-chain MapleStory can bring about the next wave of user migration in digital civilization?
For me, this is not just a token or an investment, but a resonance that started when I was 12, crossing the boundaries of reality and the virtual world.
