MapleStory N, the Web3 reimagining of Nexon's beloved MMORPG, has exploded onto the Avalanche blockchain with a record-setting debut. The launch saw over 1.7 million NFTs minted pre-release, fueling a 549% surge in active Avalanche users, and marked the arrival of NXPC, the game’s native token, which shot up 76% to a $441 million market cap. Unlike most crypto games that tiptoe into tokenization, MapleStory N dives in headfirst—letting players own and trade assets on-chain from day one via the custom Avalanche subnet, Henesys.
With its signature 2D charm intact and a now-decentralized economy under the hood, the game taps into decades of nostalgia while ushering in a new model for on-chain gaming. Avalanche’s Parker Heath hailed the launch as a turning point for crypto gaming, and with social media buzzing and servers under strain from high demand, it’s clear MapleStory N is striking a chord with both old fans and blockchain newcomers.
