Starbucks has officially debuted its first collectible NFT in its Starbucks Odyssey metaverse loyalty program. Starbucks Odyssey transports Starbucks customers to an experience with a coffee theme, NFTs, Starbucks Rewards, and Web3 technology like polygon blockchain. The Starbucks Odyssey program gives devoted consumers more incentives outside the standard framework. Consumers have the option of taking part in interactive 'Journeys' that, if completed, let members earn coveted 'Journey Stamps.'
The initial batch of these unique NFTs were created by Starbucks staff members and contain layered pieces of art honoring the "Starbucks Siren" brand emblem. Five separate layers of unique Starbucks imagery are used to create each limited-edition stamp.
Stamps will be offered for $100 apiece through the Starbucks Odyssey marketplace.
