MapleStory Universe Henesys, the mainnet of a game-enhancing project built on NEXPACE, has launched, bringing players and builders a nostalgic rush of experiences. The mainnet was named after the starting village in the original MapleStory, restoring the high spirits of fun, discovery, and community.
Beyond being a network, Henesys stands as a bridge between a dearly cherished two-decade-old franchise and a fresh digital blockchain-built community. Henesys unlocks a fresh chapter in the MapleStory Universe, specifically with a new economy focusing on item-driven gameplay, community-powered tools, and real user ownership.
MapleStory Universe Henesys: A Home Built on Avalanche
As announced mid-last year, MapleStory Universe Henesys was built on Avalanche’s high-performance Layer 1 chain subnet and powered by AvaCloud, ensuring an optimised user experience and a scalable ecosystem. This infrastructural build tallies with MapleStory Universe’s long-term vision of achieving a high-performance, community-driven web3 gaming network.
Angela Son, MapleStory Universe’s Partnership Lead, stated, “Our partnership with Ava Labs will enable us to build a stable blockchain ecosystem, enhancing our competitiveness.”
Features of MapleStory Universe Henesys
The mainnet has been built to eliminate web3 adoption barriers, specifically wallet setups, gas fees, and access signatures through its Approve Controller and meta-transaction layer. In addition, it allows builders to gain access to powerful tools necessary to build Synergy Apps. Through this, developers can explore the large fan base and deliver richer experiences beyond the walls of MapleStoryN.
The platform integrates Chainlink VRF, a system that guarantees fair and transparent distribution of these assets while maintaining scarcity, generating in-game items that become verifiable NFTs, ensuring actual digital ownership. Henesys will inherit MSU’s ecosystem token as its backbone for intersecting gameplay, user-generated content, DeFi, etc, aiding players’ item utilization across applications.
Beyond MapleStory Universe Henesys: Upcoming Developments
After a rigorous session of building MapleStory Universe Henesys, the team has announced some imminent developments to uplift the overall experience. These developments include a public digital asset tracking explorer, an integrated NFT-based name reservation model, and an expanded contribution and incentivization of developers and content creators.
