NXPC Token: MapleStory Universe Says Hack Hit Data, Not Assets

On Thursday, the 12th of November 2026, MapleStory Universe found that an outside party had got into part of its off-chain servers. It blocked the way in and put every service into maintenance from 04:43 UTC that day. ^[1] Those servers handle the platform’s service data outside the blockchain. MapleStory Universe is the blockchain platform behind MapleStory N, and NXPC is its token. Nexpace, a blockchain company owned by Nexon, runs it. ^[5]

After checking on-chain records and its own service wallets, MapleStory Universe said no assets were moved or stolen. So far, the blockchain and its smart contracts were not affected, and the token supply did not change. No key that can move assets was exposed. Players’ wallet private keys are never sent to or stored on its systems. ^[1]

MapleStory Universe said the outside party did reach user data. For some users, it saw wallet addresses, nicknames, IP addresses, login history and device details. These came from records dated after 23:26 UTC on the 4th of November 2026. It also saw the first 12 characters of email addresses and linked social accounts such as Discord. Outside developers register apps in the Builder Center, and details of 328 of those apps were reached, API keys included. Those keys cannot be used to affect assets. ^[1]

The notice warned that these records tie a wallet to a nickname, an IP address and a rough location. Someone holding them could send phishing messages that look real. MapleStory Universe will never ask for a private key or seed phrase. Users should not connect a wallet or sign anything through a link in an email or message about the incident. ^[1]

Since MapleStory Universe found the breach on the 12th of November 2026, NXPC has fallen 1.1%, from $0.1544 on the 11th to $0.1528 on the 12th of November 2026.

What we have published before

• We covered “NXPC Burn: Nexpace Plans to Destroy 95.7M Tokens in December” on the 9th of November 2026 ^[2].

Since our article of the 9th of November 2026, NXPC has fallen 1.2%, from $0.1545 to $0.1528 on the 12th of November 2026.

What the token actually does

NXPC is the gas token of Henesys Network, so it pays the fee for each transaction there. ^[7] NXPC’s main game is MapleStory N, which is free to play. In it, players pick a job, hunt monsters and team up for bosses. Hunting and boss fights earn NESOLET, which players mint into NESO. NESO buys item NFTs on the MSU Marketplace and pays for item upgrades. Players can swap NESO for NXPC at 100,000 NESO to one NXPC, and the swap may cost a gas fee. ^[6] MapleStory N’s game contracts were used by 54,320 wallets between the 14th of October and the 12th of November 2026.

What people are saying

Journalists

Seoul Economic Daily, a Korean daily newspaper, wrote about the breach on the 13th of November 2026. It set the breach beside MapleStory Universe’s falling numbers. That morning, NXPC was about 94% below its May 2025 high of $2.621. The project had not given the total number of users affected. ^[5] Our own figure in Performance is 96%. Our price data holds a higher peak, $3.77 on the 15th of May 2025.

The paper also counted wallets. By its count, MapleStory Universe averaged 8,135 active wallets a day in November up to the 11th, about 64% fewer than the 22,598 a year earlier. New sign-ups fell 96% over the same stretch, from 29,613 to 1,201. ^[5] These are daily averages, a different measure from the 30-day count of wallets above.

이달 들어 11일까지 일평균 활성 지갑 수는 8135개로 지난해 같은 기간 2만 2598개보다 약 64% 줄었다. ^[5]

More on the story

MapleStory Universe posted its notice on X at 17:12 UTC on the 12th of November 2026. It said it waited until it had confirmed the facts and how far the access reached. It blocked the attacker’s path and cancelled every access credential it found the attacker had taken. The affected servers were replaced with new ones. As a precaution, it planned to replace all its operational keys before services came back. ^[1]

MapleStory Universe’s maintenance notice says most services came back at 21:40 UTC on the 12th of November 2026. Outside developers use the OpenAPI, and it stayed in maintenance. It was expected to come back the following week. ^{[3] [5]} The project would also help builders get new API keys for the 328 apps. ^[1]

Keith, MapleStory Universe’s chief operating officer, posted at 21:42 UTC that the servers were live. He said the maintenance took much longer than usual. The team’s main job during the downtime was to check security, alongside a big update. ^[4]

All user assets remain safe and unaffected. ^[4]

Keith, MapleStory Universe’s chief operating officer, on X, the 12th of November 2026

The investigation is still going on, and MapleStory Universe said the list of data reached may change. It would email users who registered an email address and may have been affected. In MapleStory N, entry to Chaos Gloom was restricted, with plans to open it over the weekend at a time still to be announced. Daily boss entry counts that may have been lost when the servers went down were restored. Compensation for the maintenance would be announced later. ^[1]
