- Task Participation: The quantity of rewards varies based on participation level: casual players (who complete basic check-ins or community tasks) can receive 30-90 NXPC; highly active players (who participate in testing over the long term, complete advanced tasks, or collect NFTs) can receive thousands of NXPC.
- Wallet Requirements: A wallet supporting Avalanche (such as MetaMask) must be used during the event, and the same wallet address must be used to claim the tokens.
Specific Methods for Claiming NXPC
- Visit the official claiming page: https://static.msu.io/inspection?service=maplestoryn
- Connect to an Avalanche wallet: Use a wallet that supports the Avalanche network and follow the official connection instructions (ensure there is a small amount of AVAX in the wallet to pay for Gas fees).

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 and a halving model (similar to Bitcoin) to control the release speed, ensuring long-term value stability. Below are the key points of the token economics:
Distribution Structure
- 80% (800 million): Allocated to players and creators, with no lock-up, released weekly through game tasks, NFT creation, and Galaxy quests.
- 16.904% (169.04 million): Ecosystem development, fully unlocked at TGE, used for SDK development and promotion.
- 2% (20 million): IP management, unlocked over 36 months after 9 months of lock-up.
- 0.696% (6.96 million): Team, unlocked over 36 months after 9 months of lock-up.
- 0.4% (4 million): Advisors, unlocked according to milestones after a 12-month lock-up.
Economic Features
- Scarcity Design: Weekly limits on the number of NFT items that can be exchanged create value scarcity; public testing shows that 76% of tokens are actively used.
- Fusion-Fission Model: Players can exchange NXPC for NFT items (fission) or redeem item collections back to NXPC (fusion) to achieve self-balancing.
- Creator Incentives: Players and third-party developers can create items or applications to earn NXPC rewards, promoting ecosystem expansion.
NXPC and NESO Exchange Mechanism
The exchange mechanism between NXPC and NESO is core to the game economy, aiming to form an internal and external value closed loop:
- NESO Role: In-game currency used to purchase items, enhance NFT item baskets, or participate in activities, limited to in-game use.
- Exchange Process: Players can exchange NXPC for NESO in the in-game market, with dynamic rates influenced by market prices and economic balance.
- Limited Exchange Amounts per Cycle: A small NXPC transaction fee is required to ensure token circulation.
- Reverse Exchange: Players earn NESO through advanced tasks or NFT trading, which can be exchanged back to NXPC.
