The online game MapleStory has played a significant role in revitalizing the Avalanche blockchain, enabling it to reach over 1 million daily transactions twice within a week. Here are the details:
Blockchain Activity Surge: The Avalanche blockchain witnessed a remarkable increase in activity, reaching the 1 – million – transaction – per – day milestone twice in the week of June 2, 2025. It achieved this on June 1 and June 7. The total transactions for that week reached 5.8 million, the highest weekly total since early 2024. Before the launch of MapleStory Universe on May 15, 2025, Avalanche’s daily transactions rarely exceeded 500,000 in 2025.
Driving Force behind the Surge: The activity spike is mainly attributed to MapleStory Universe, a web3 gaming ecosystem built on Avalanche. Its first game, MapleStory N, was launched on May 15. The game has a large and nostalgic player base, especially among millennials in South Korea and Southeast Asia. Moreover, the game’s developer, Nexon, a major South Korean gaming company listed in Tokyo, holds 1,717 BTC, which adds credibility to the web3 gaming market and attracts more players to the Avalanche – based game.
Related Token Information: The launch of MapleStory introduced the developer’s Nexpace Coin (NX PC) as the primary currency of the MapleStory Universe. However, after reaching an all – time high of $3.77 shortly after launch, it has fallen 64% to $1.34, indicating the volatility and risks associated with new game tokens.
