TL;DR.MapleStory Universe operates a dual-token system. NXPC is the native token of MSU — fixed-supply, used for asset creation and value exchange across the ecosystem, and the token used to pay network fees on Henesys (NXPC’s home blockchain network). It is also the asset against which the quarterly burn operates. NESO is the on-chain in-game currency — used for item enhancement in MapleStory N and for transactions on the Marketplace, and minted at a 1:1 ratio from NESOLET (the unminted form earned through gameplay activities like hunting monsters or clearing bosses). NESO and NXPC are convertible at a fixed swap ratio of 100,000 NESO : 1 NXPC via the SWAP & WARP service.
Why two tokensThe split keeps short-term gameplay volume from distorting the value layer: high-frequency in-game transactions clear in NESO, while NXPC captures ecosystem value, governs the on-chain marketplace, and is the asset that scales with the burn mechanism. NXPC can be acquired two ways: through gameplay (earn NESO, then swap), or through SWAP & WARP if you already hold NXPC on another chain.
　

​
1. What is NESO?

NESO is an on-chain currency used within MapleStory Universe.
It is used to enhance items in MapleStory N and to conduct transactions on the Marketplace. You can obtain NESO by minting NESOLET, and the two currencies have distinct icons, as shown below:

​
1.1. Earning NESO Through Gameplay

You can obtain NESO by minting NESOLET, which is earned through various in-game activities such as hunting monsters and clearing boss content.
  • NESOLET in its unminted state cannot be used for item enhancement or trading, so be sure to mint any NESOLET you acquire!
  • The total amount of NESOLET and NESO you have accumulated is displayed at the bottom of your character’s inventory.
  • You can view detailed values via the tooltip and use the NESO button at the bottom of the inventory to mint your NESOLET into NESO.
    • The conversion rate from NESOLET to NESO is 1:1.
  • NESOLET is a character-bound currency and cannot be used by other characters in your wallet until it is minted.
  • Only the character that completed the minting process can mint NESOLET into NESO. For more details, please refer to the [Manage Character Guide].

​
1.2. Earning NESO via SWAP & WARP

If you have NXPC in your wallet, you can swap it for NESO using the SWAP & WARP feature. Once the swap is complete, the converted NESO can be used on the MSU Marketplace, and if you play the game using the same wallet, it can also be used in-game.
Only minted characters can use the Wallet Inventory and perform item enhancements in MapleStory N. For more details, please refer to the respective guides.

​
1.3. Using NESO

You can use NESO to:
  • Purchase NFT items, characters, and consumables from the MSU Marketplace
  • Exchange for Power Crystals, used for Star Force Enhancement of NFT items
  • Exchange for Power Crystals, used to grant or reset Potential on NFT items

​
2. What is NXPC?

NXPC is the native token of MapleStory Universe, powering asset creation and value exchange throughout the ecosystem. You can acquire NXPC by swapping it with NESO earned from playing MapleStory N.
  • The NESO:NXPC swap ratio is 100,000:1.
  • Swapping NESO for NXPC may incur gas fees, depending on conditions.
