NXPC Burn: Nexpace Plans to Destroy 95.7M Tokens in December

Since Nexpace’s fifth quarterly burn on the 15th of October 2026, NXPC has fallen 29.0%, from $0.1986 to $0.1410 on the 8th of November 2026. On the 9th of November 2026, Nexpace said it plans to burn about 95.7 million NXPC, MapleStory Universe’s token, in December 2026. That is about 30% of the NXPC it reports as circulating. That NXPC sits in the Recycle Vault, which holds the NXPC spent on item NFTs through Reactor. Reactor turned NXPC into item NFTs and item NFTs back into NXPC, and Nexpace plans to end it in December 2026 as well. The final amount burned would be fixed only when Reactor ends. From December 2026, Nexpace also plans to burn the weekly NXPC releases from Contribution Reward, the whitepaper’s pool for ecosystem contributors, for at least 52 weeks. Nexpace has been receiving a share of those releases each week and using it for player rewards. The burns would pause the pool’s payouts but not end them, and payouts could restart after the 52 weeks, with notice first. Burned NXPC would be removed for good. The 1 billion NXPC supply cap stays the same. ^[1]

What the token actually does

NXPC is the gas token of Henesys Network, so it pays the fee for each transaction there. ^[3] 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]

Performance

In the three months to the 8th of November 2026, the token fell 39.7%. The wider gaming market fell 25.5% over the same three months.

• On the 8th of November 2026, the token fell 7.0%. The wider gaming market fell 2.9%.
• That day it ranked 38th of the 267 gaming tokens that fell.
• It trades 96% below its all-time high, set in May 2025. The wider gaming market is down 95% from its own.

More on the story

MapleStory Universe said ending Reactor would not change how players play or trade item NFTs. Item Fusion, the half that turned item NFTs into NXPC, has been switched off since January 2026. The other half, NXPC Fission, has been a tool Nexpace uses to get item NFTs for in-game rewards. An in-game notice would go up before Reactor ends. ^[3]

MapleStory Universe linked the Contribution Reward change to revenue. Protocol revenue is the NXPC players spend in the game and on marketplace fees. Most of it comes from in-game content such as item enhancement. In the first half of 2026, it came to about 31.0 million NXPC. That was more than the about 28.1 million NXPC paid out as MapleStory N rewards. ^{[3] [5]} From December 2026, rewards would come from NXPC that Nexpace already holds and from ongoing protocol revenue. Those holdings already count as circulating, so paying rewards from them would not raise the circulating figure. ^[3]

When it announced the plan, Nexpace said 651,534,095 NXPC was still undistributed in the Contribution Reward pool. The 800 million NXPC pool stays in the whitepaper. Each change would get its own disclosure on the day it happens. The first weekly burn would come with the burn address, so the later weekly burns can be checked on-chain. The Recycle Vault burn would come with its transaction hash and burn address. The revised whitepaper would come out on the day Reactor ends. ^[1]

The new burns come on top of Nexpace’s quarterly burn, which continues. ^[1] Under a policy set out on the 24th of November 2025, it takes 20% of each quarter’s protocol revenue. ^[4] The fifth of those burns removed about 3.16 million NXPC, bringing the total burned to about 14.81 million NXPC. The next is planned for January 2027. Nexpace keeps the sole say over the timing and size of each burn, and it warned that burns may be suspended or changed at any time. ^[2]
