Nexon’s blockchain subsidiary Nexpace has unveiled plans to launch its own token as a means to grow its MapleStory ecosystem and drive player engagement.

More particularly, with the use of the NXPC token, Nexpace is enabling users to create their own in-game items. Thanks to blockchain technology, these items can securely be integrated into the MapleStory ecosystem, leading to stronger user engagement and more sustainable growth.

To this end, the supply of items that can be redeemed using NXPC will also be limited. Those limits will be renewed on a regular basis to create balance and flexibility within MapleStory Universe. 

Nexpace executive director Sunyoung Hwang commented, “The introduction of NXPC and blockchain technology to the 21-year legacy of MapleStory IP underscores our confidence in their transformative ability to revolutionise the gaming experience for all. The NXPC token aligns user incentives with the long-term growth of the ecosystem by distributing the ability to create items to contributors, fostering a continuous virtuous cycle of enjoyable experiences and growth of the IP.” 

“We look forward to our robust pipeline ahead, including releasing new information on the tokens within the year, as well as the various updates on the ecosystem and the PC MMORPG MapleStory N.”
