Project overview: What is NEXPACE?

NEXPACE is a blockchain-based ecosystem aimed at reshaping the way players interact in the MapleStory Universe. By introducing the concept of Reward Experience (RX), NEXPACE not only enhances the sense of achievement in the game but also achieves the transformation of in-game items into NFTs. It adopts a dual-token model: NXPC and NESO, to build a scalable, transparent, and community-centered Web3 gaming world.

Reward Experience RX: Core Mechanism to Enhance Game Achievement

NEXPACE’s core concept revolves around the “Reward eXperience (RX)”, which is driven by two factors:

• Utility: The usage scenarios and value of items in different games and applications.
• Rarity: The scarcity or difficulty of obtaining an item.

After the game items are converted into NFTs, players can not only use the same assets in multiple applications, but also increase their collection and trading value through limited edition mechanisms, thereby significantly enhancing players’ sense of achievement and satisfaction.

Technical architecture: open, scalable blockchain ecosystem

NEXPACE’s technical architecture is based on an on-chain verifiable asset system, allowing community members and developers to jointly create various applications based on the MapleStory IP. This architecture achieves the following points:

1. Cross-application asset usage: The same NFT can be used in multiple games and platforms, breaking the game silos.
2. Community-driven development: Anyone can build DApps to expand the ecosystem.
3. Transparent asset management: all assets and transaction records can be queried on the chain to enhance trust.

Dual Token Model: Synergistic Mechanism of NXPC and NESO

NEXPACE introduces a dual token system, where:

• NXPC (Nexpace Coin): It is an ecological token used for NFT exchange, reward distribution, value anchoring, etc. The total supply is 1 billion, with initial circulation of 20%, and the rest will be gradually released through rewards based on contribution, community incentives, etc.
• NESO: The in-game token in the MapleStory Universe, mainly used for in-app transactions and user incentives, and can be transparently exchanged for NXPC.

Through the dual-token mechanism, players can not only receive real-time feedback in the game, but also participate in a more extensive ecosystem value circulation.

The total supply limit of NXPC is 1 billion (1B), and its specific allocation ratio and unlocking rules are as follows:

• Contribution reward: 80%, allocated to ecosystem contributors per cycle, with no lock-up period;
• Ecosystem: 16.904%, fully unlocked during TGE (Initial Token Offering);
• IP Management (IP MG): 2%, with a 9-month cliff vesting period, followed by quarterly gradual unlocking over 36 months;
• Team: 0.696%, also with a cliff period of 9 months, followed by linear unlocking over 36 months;
• Advisor: 0.4%, with a 12-month cliff period, subsequent unlocking based on project milestones.

The functionality and value design of NFT

NEXPACE emphasizes the following three points in the design of NFTs:

Functionality: NFT can be used in multiple games and DApps, increasing usage frequency and engagement.
Rarity: Ensure the scarcity and collectible value of assets by setting an issuance limit.
Interoperability: NXPC and NFT can be exchanged, promoting asset liquidity and giving NFT real price support.

Contribution Mechanism and Community Incentives

To encourage more people to participate in the ecosystem construction, NEXPACE has designed a detailed incentive mechanism for contributions:

• All community members receive NXPC rewards based on their participation (such as using NFTs, developing applications, etc.).
• The reward mechanism is fair and transparent, treating developers and players equally.
• The total reward amount decreases gradually over time, similar to the Bitcoin halving mechanism, incentivizing early participation.

Future Development Direction

The development goals of NEXPACE include:

Expand the application ecosystem: continue to attract developers to participate, and jointly build a rich and diverse gaming world;
Enhancing community participation: By activities, rewards, and governance mechanisms, enhance user sense of belonging and activity;
Continuous Technological Upgrades: Enhancing the interaction experience of blockchain, optimizing NFT usage efficiency and transaction speed.

Gate.io will launch NEXPACE (NXPC) at 14:00 on May 15, 2025 (UTC+8) and open the NXPC/USDT trading pair. At the same time, the limited-time HODLer Airdrop activity will begin, where GT holders (≥1 GT) can participate for free in the distribution of 300,000 NXPC tokens, with 100% unlocked. The deadline for the activity is 10:00 on May 15, 2025 (UTC+8), with a maximum participation limit of 5000 GT per user. Users need to complete identity verification and click ‘Participate’ on the Launchpool page. Click the link for more details: https://www.gate.io/announcements/article/44928
