In this cycle, old IPs have completely taken off on the blockchain.
The nostalgia for MapleStory Universe has pushed the FDV to over 30 billion, proving that the term 'classic IP' is inherently valuable, but it has also made everyone realize one thing:
Relying solely on nostalgia + high FDV + large-scale unlocks will likely end up being 'high open low run'.
What I am most optimistic about now is a completely different evolutionary path — Audiera $BEAT #BEAT
As a 20-year-old classic IP, Audiera (Dance Dance Revolution) has a cumulative user base of over 600 million and global revenue exceeding 2.2 billion USD, directly leaving MapleStory behind. More importantly, it has not taken the old path of 'selling nostalgia', but has truly brought Web2 music + AI + payment onto the blockchain, creating a deflationary flywheel with real cash flow.
Core difference, easy to understand at a glance
Project MapleStory Universe Audiera ( $BEAT )
Historical users ≈ 180 million 600 million+ (the world's number one IP in rhythm music)
Token model Dual currency + high ratio airdrop + linear unlocking Single token total supply 1B, low initial circulation
On-chain users Just getting started Over 5 million (BNB Chain's most active entertainment dApp)
Real income No public on-chain cash flow available AI Payment has generated over 148,900 $BEAT in real income
Deflation mechanism Traditional game consumption Income → Consumption → Fixed weekly burn (125,000 $BEAT has been burned)
On December 1, AI Payment officially launched, users can pay with $BEAT for AI-generated exclusive music, dance, AI costume changes, and other services, all income is 100% traceable on-chain:
• Income address: https://bscscan.com/address/0x919e397834c349bD890a552BA035dcDefc4cdE42
• The first batch of 125,000 $BEAT has been sent to the black hole: https://bscscan.com/token/0xcf3232b85b43bca90e51d38cc06ccbb8c8a3e36?a=0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead
This is the true 'cash flow-supported token':
The more users there are → The higher the AI Payment income → The more weekly burns → The more $BEAT deflates → The positive feedback loop accelerates
Now $BEAT is fully circulating on mainstream CEXs such as Binance Alpha, OKX Boost, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate, Bitget, with a stable FDV above 1.5 billion USD, but the circulation is extremely low, and the chips are clean to the point of exaggeration.
Retail investors in Web3 games really only need to look at three hard metrics:
1️⃣ Users: 600 million historical + 5 million on-chain
2️⃣ Income: AI Payment has genuinely received 148,900+ $BEAT
3️⃣ Burn: Fixed weekly burning, never stopping
MapleStory proves that old IPs can be valuable on-chain.
Audiera $BEAT is telling everyone:
The 2.0 version answer for old IPs on-chain should be AI + real payments + deflationary feedback loop.
Now, it's $BEAT 's turn to perform.
(Personal opinion, all numbers can be verified on-chain, investing involves risks, and market entry should be cautious)
