The highly anticipated Web3 game 'MapleStory N' was officially launched on May 15th. As a new work of Nexon's classic IP, 'MapleStory N' combines classic MMORPG gameplay with blockchain technology, claiming to bring players an innovative experience of digital asset ownership and creator economy.
Simultaneously, the official game's native cryptocurrency NXPC was launched. The token is now officially listed on multiple exchanges including Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, Upbit, Bithumb, Bitget, and Gate.io. The price peaked at $3.8674 last night, currently trading at $2.7, with a market cap of approximately $450 million.
NXPC Redemption Channel Officially Opened
With the token's launch, the official NXPC token airdrop channel is now open, allowing eligible players to receive free tokens. Here are the detailed information for receiving NXPC tokens:
Conditions for Receiving NXPC
- Early Test Participants: Players who participated in the 'MapleStory N' public test (such as the 2024 second Pioneer Test) or completed Galxe missions are eligible for NXPC airdrop.
- Mission Participation: Rewards vary based on participation level: Regular players (completing basic check-ins or community tasks) can receive 30-90 NXPC; highly active players (long-term test participation, completing advanced missions or Non-Fungible Token collections) can receive thousands of NXPC.
- Wallet Requirements: Participants must use an Avalanche-supported wallet (such as MetaMask) during the activity and use the same wallet address for redemption.
Specific Method for Receiving NXPC
- Visit the official redemption page: https://static.msu.io/inspection?service=maplestoryn
- Connect Avalanche Wallet: Use a wallet supporting the Avalanche network and connect as per official instructions (ensure the wallet has a small amount of AVAX to pay gas fees)
- After redemption, players can use NXPC to exchange for NESO in-game, purchase Non-Fungible Token items, or transfer to exchanges for trading.
Precautions
- Redemption Deadline: The airdrop may have an expiration date, so players are advised to closely follow official announcements to avoid missing the opportunity.
- Anti-Fraud Reminder: Users should avoid clicking on redemption pages from unknown sources and never disclose wallet private keys.
- Server Maintenance Impact: On the launch day, some players couldn't successfully claim the airdrop due to high traffic, and the official has announced that the system is under maintenance.
NXPC Token Economics and NESO Exchange Mechanism
NXPC is the unified token of the MapleStory Universe ecosystem, with a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, using a halving model (similar to Bitcoin) to control release speed and ensure long-term value stability. Here are the key points of token economics:
Distribution Structure
- 80% (800 million): Allocated to players and creators, without lock-up, released periodically through game tasks, Non-Fungible Token creation, and Galxe missions.
- 16.904% (169 million): Ecosystem development, fully unlocked at TGE, used for SDK development and promotion.
- 2% (20 million): IP management, unlocked after 9 months of lock-up, distributed over 36 months.
- 0.696% (6.96 million): Team, unlocked after 9 months of lock-up, distributed over 36 months.
- 0.4% (4 million): Advisors, unlocked after 12 months of lock-up based on milestones.
Economic Characteristics
- Scarcity Design: Limit the number of exchangeable Non-Fungible Token items per cycle to create value scarcity, with public testing showing 76% of tokens being actively used.
- Fusion-Fission Model: Players can exchange NXPC for Non-Fungible Token items (fission), or combine items to exchange back to NXPC (fusion), achieving self-balance.
- Creator Incentives: Players and third-party developers can create items or applications, receiving NXPC rewards to promote ecosystem expansion.
The NXPC and NESO exchange mechanism is the core of the game's economy, aimed at forming an internal and external value closed loop:
- NESO Role: In-game currency used to purchase items, enhance Non-Fungible Token items basket, or participate in activities, limited to in-game use only.
- Exchange Process: Players exchange NXPC for NESO in the in-game market, with dynamic rates affected by market prices and economic balance.
- Limited Exchange Volume per Cycle: A small NXPC transaction fee must be paid to ensure token circulation.
- Reverse Exchange: Players earn NESO through advanced missions or Non-Fungible Token trading, which can be exchanged back to NXPC.
