The avalanche blockchain has exceeded a million daily transactions twice in the space of a week, which is the first time that the network has reached this stage since February 2024.
Avalanche transactions exceeded the brand on June 1 and again on June 7. Total transactions for the week starting on June 2 have reached 5.8 million, also the highest weekly total since the start of 2024, according to data from the Nansen blockchain analysis platform.
The peak of activity is largely motivated by MapleStory Universe, avalanche noted on X. MapleTory Universe is a web game ecosystem built on avalanche. His first game, Maplery N, was launched on May 15.
Before the online rural game with lateral scrolling reached avalanche, the daily transactions of the blockchain have rarely exceeded 500,000 in 2025.
Maplestory became a cultural phenomenon among players in the 2000s and early 2010s. He served as a proto-mavere to socialize, to make friends and even to build romantic relationships.

The developer of Veteran Nexon games is in Avalanche
The excitement around MapleStory Universe is also supported by its developer, Nexon, a giant of the South Korean Korean game Tokyo and the 21st largest Bitcoin holder (BTC) in the 21st in the world, associated by Bitcointreas.net.

The launch of MapleStory also introduced the developer’s Nexpace part (NXPC), the main currency of the MapleTory universe.
Despite the start of the buzz, NXPC struggled to maintain its momentum. After reaching a summit of $ 3.77 shortly after the launch, he has since dropped by 64% to $ 1.34 at the time of the editorial staff.
The avalanche grows as a game blockchain
Avalanche has been gaining ground in the web 3 game since the end of 2024. His momentum was fueled by the launch of Off The Grid, a shooter built on his Gunz sub-network, which marked a change to the attraction of traditional players, not just cryptographic natives.
This story also applies to its indigenous avalanche (AVAX) token.
On May 14, the day before the launch of MapleStory N, Avax was negotiated up to $ 26. It has since fallen at $ 20, well below its annual summit of $ 54 reached in December.
