Nexpace will burn about 95.7 million NEXPACE (NXPC) in a single transaction in December 2026, removing close to 30% of the token's circulating supply, according to the Nexpace announcement. The burn plan and a whitepaper revision take effect that month.
NEXPACE is the native token of MapleStory Universe, the Web3 gaming ecosystem built by Nexpace, a subsidiary of game publisher Nexon. It launched in 2025 alongside MapleStory N, according to how NEXPACE works on Coinranking.
How the December NXPC Burn Works
The December burn takes its tokens from the Recycle Vault and sends them out in one transaction. At about 95.7 million NXPC, it is close to 30% of the disclosed circulating supply. No previous quarterly burn comes near that size. The first, on November 27, 2025, removed 3.84 million NXPC, and the Q3 2026 burn removed 3.162 million.
Weekly Reward Burns Replace New Emissions
The second half of the plan targets Contribution Rewards, the pool that funds ecosystem and game rewards. From December, each weekly unlock from the pool is burned instead of entering circulation, for no less than 52 weeks. Those weekly burns keep about 83.7 million NXPC out of future supply over the first year, according to the announcement. With the December burn, the total reaches about 179.4 million NXPC. Nexpace is also retiring the Reactor mechanism, while the fixed exchange rate between NXPC and NESO, the in-game currency, stays. "Our NXPC burn plan and whitepaper revision take effect in December 2026. None of the updates adds new supply, and player rewards in MapleStory N continue," Nexpace wrote on its @Nexpace_HQ account.
What Does Not Change
The quarterly burn of 20% of protocol revenue continues alongside the new burns. The 1 billion NXPC maximum supply cap stays, and the buyback of up to $10 million in NXPC announced in May 2026 remains in the treasury for ecosystem use. Nexpace says protocol revenue in the first half of 2026 was about 31 million NXPC, above the about 28.1 million NXPC spent on game rewards. The revised whitepaper takes effect in December. Traders can follow the token on the NEXPACE price chart.
