In the GameFi 2.0 , MapleStory-Style Blockchain Game NXPC Surges - SuperEx Launches Triple NXPC Rewards
#NXPC #GameFi#SuperEx
When it comes to blockchain games, veteran users of the crypto market are no strangers. Titles like Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, and Farmer's World are household names. Take Axie Infinity, once dubbed "the king of chain games" - just how popular was it? According to data from Token Terminal, Axie Infinity raked in a staggering $334 million in just 30 days, with a single-day peak revenue of $11 million. In countries like the Philippines and Venezuela, the game helped over 150,000 people find employment.
But the good times didn't last long. By overemphasizing financial incentives and neglecting the core element of gameplay, most GameFi economic models fell into a "death spiral," and like NFTs, gradually faded from mainstream narratives.
This period is what we now call the "GameFi 1.0 era." With its decline, participants in the blockchain gaming space began actively addressing the shortcomings of that era - most notably by re-centering GameFi around gameplay and using playability to retain users. Thus began what we now call the "GameFi 2.0 era."
This new era has seen a number of promising games emerge, but the space has long lacked a true blockbuster capable of triggering a GameFi revival. Could the newly viral NXPC be the spark we've been waiting for? Time will tell.
The FOMO Effect of a Traditional Gaming Giant
On May 15, South Korea's veteran game developer NEXON officially stepped into Web3, launching its first token project, NXPC. This is the same NEXON behind classic hits like Dungeon & Fighter, MapleStory, and KartRider. This time, they've chosen to embrace Web3 by issuing a token.
As part of the tokenomics, 3% of NXPC was airdropped to BNB holders, and NXPC was simultaneously listed on major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Upbit, and Bithumb, generating massive hype.
Fueled by wealth effects and market excitement, NXPC saw an immediate surge upon listing, spiking to $3.98 at its peak, with market cap briefly approaching $4 billion - far outperforming most GameFi tokens. Meanwhile, early participants of the Alpha airdrop took to X (formerly Twitter) to flex their gains: each user received 198 NXPC, which at current prices is worth $575, making it one of the most lucrative GameFi airdrops in recent memory.
On-chain data also tells a compelling story. A wallet tagged as "smart money" made a move just one minute after launch, buying ~4.1 million NXPC at an average price of $1.36, investing around $1.75 million. With the price spike, the wallet has already made a $2.4 million profit - an astonishing 135% return in no time.
Notably, since 2022, the GameFi space has seen plenty of buzzwords but very few projects that combine both hype and market cap. NXPC and its underlying MapleStory Universe are clearly changing the game, injecting fresh energy into the market, reviving NEXON's iconic IP, and bringing renewed attention and excitement to the GameFi narrative.
MapleStory Universe: A Classic Reimagined
MapleStory Universe is a virtual world ecosystem built upon the legendary MapleStory IP. With over 250 million global players and $5 billion in total revenue, this classic MMORPG's vast user base and mature in-game economy lay the perfect groundwork for blockchain transformation.
This genre of game is naturally suited for on-chain adaptation. Here's why:
Mature ecosystem: With robust systems like guilds, resource collection, crafting, and PVP/PVE interaction, these mechanics have been battle-tested and proven to deliver high playability.
Native economic logic: In-game currency systems fit perfectly with blockchain's "value through contribution" ideology, making it easier to build a sustainable, dynamic in-game economy that avoids the pitfalls of GameFi 1.0's collapse.
NEXON's pivot is therefore well-timed. On one hand, it leverages MapleStory's enormous brand trust and nostalgic cultural appeal; on the other, it taps into the crypto market's current hunger for "quality IP + sustainable token models." According to NEXON's latest Q1 2025 financial report, the company posted $776 million in revenue, up 5% year-over-year.
