Overview
MapleStory Universe is a Layer 1 blockchain designed as an ecosystem for diverse applications and experiences powered by MapleStory IP. This ecosystem revolves around MapleStory items reimagined through blockchain technology, creating new opportunities for both players and creators while driving the Universe's growth. Within this framework, MapleStory items gain enhanced RX across interconnected applications built by community creators.
MapleStory Universe comprises two main components: foundational applications providing essential user services and creator tool facilitating community-driven expansion.
Foundational Applications
MapleStory Universe provides six core applications that form the backbone of the ecosystem.
MapleStory N
A next-generation PC MMORPG that preserves the beloved 2D side-scrolling gameplay of classic MapleStory while introducing blockchain elements and new game mechanics.
Limited Supply: The game features a limited supply economy where all major game items exist as NFTs/FTs with fixed quantities, creating genuine rarity.
NXPC Integration: Limited game items can be exchanged with NXPC, enhancing RX by connecting game items to the broader ecosystem.
Dynamic Reward: In-game rewards adjust based on player activity. Crowded, popular hunting regions offer fewer rewards, while less-traveled areas provide greater opportunities through stacked rewards awaiting discovery. This encourages exploration of overlooked areas and prevents the stagnation common in RPGs where players repeatedly farm the same optimal locations.
Dynamic Pricing: Real-world economic principles apply to item upgrades, with prices fluctuating based on real-time demand for efficient price discovery. When many players seek to upgrade a particular item, its upgrade price increases automatically. Less popular items remain more affordable. This provides strategic gameplay as players can either pursue meta items at higher prices or find value in underutilized items.
MapleStory Universe Marketplace
A dedicated platform where users can buy and sell MapleStory NFTs/FTs including characters, equipment, and consumable items. The platform features comprehensive filters such as equipment level, job class, and enhancement levels to help users find specific items. Trading of consumable items is supported through order books for fast, efficient transactions.
MapleStory Universe Navigator
A comprehensive companion application that serves as an encyclopedia for all MapleStory Universe NFTs/FTs and player data. Navigator provides detailed information about each token's attributes, historical data, and reward status across different applications. Users can also search wallet addresses to explore other players' collections and track their achievements.
MapleStory Universe Explorer
MapleStory Universe's tailored, transparent dashboard displaying real-time metrics on network activity, token transactions, and wallet activity. Explorer provides users visibility into network operations, supporting data-driven participation.
Swap & Warp
An essential application supporting seamless token exchanges and blockchain bridging. Swap enables conversion between NXPC and NESO at a fixed rate, while Warp facilitates transfers of NXPC and NFTs/FTs between the MapleStory Universe Layer 1 network and other blockchain networks.
Reactor
Reactor is the core economic component coordinating asset creation and value exchange throughout MapleStory Universe. It powers the NXPC Fission and Item Fusion mechanisms, facilitating exchanges between NXPC and NFTs.
Creator Tool
Foundational applications establish essential utility for NXPC, NESO and NFTs, providing a strong base for the ecosystem. Building upon this foundation, creators can further expand token utilities by developing new experiences and applications using the MapleStory Universe SDK.
MapleStory Universe SDK
A comprehensive development kit enabling professional teams to build standalone applications leveraging MapleStory IP.
Open API Architecture: Provides developers access to character information, NFTs, marketplace, and network data.
Custom Metadata Development: Developers can read and write application-specific metadata for MapleStory NFTs, allowing creative repurposing of NFTs within their applications.
Asset Composability: Token standards and metadata allow developers to build upon existing functionalities, creating an ecosystem where tokens gain expanded utility across multiple interconnected applications.
NESO Integration: The SDK offers tools for developers to implement business models using NESO within their applications.
Contribution Rewards: Developers can receive periodic NXPC rewards based on application performance metrics and the effectiveness of their applications in expanding NFT utility.
Through these foundational applications and creator tool, MapleStory Universe aims to unlock the full potential of MapleStory items and create new possibilities in collaboration with the community.
