MapleStory revives Avalanche, tops 1M daily transactions twice in a week
The Avalanche blockchain surpassed 1 million daily transactions twice in the span of a week, which was the first time the network hit this milestone since February 2024.
Avalanche transactions topped the mark on June 1 and again on Saturday. Total transactions for the week beginning June 2 reached 5.8 million, the highest weekly total since early 2024, according to data from blockchain analytics platform Nansen.
The spike in activity was largely driven by MapleStory Universe, Avalanche noted on X. MapleStory Universe is a Web3 gaming ecosystem built on Avalanche. Its first game, MapleStory N, launched on May 15.
Before the side-scrolling online role-playing game landed on Avalanche, the blockchain’s daily transactions rarely topped 500,000 in 2025.
MapleStory became a cultural phenomenon among gamers in the 2000s and early 2010s. It served as a proto-metaverse for socializing, making friends and even forming romantic relationships.
Its original Web3 version was one of the early examples of virtual economies, in-game currencies, tradable items and user-driven content — elements that blockchain technology now aims to enhance. The franchise remains deeply nostalgic for millennials across South Korea and Southeast Asia.
