Starbucks Bids Farewell to NFTs, Embracing the Unknown In a surprising move, Starbucks has decided to
discontinue its NFT program, leaving users with until March 25, 2024, to wrap up their digital adventures. The coffee giant is taking a step back from the Starbucks Odyssey Beta, signaling a desire to
prepare for what lies ahead in their ever-evolving journey.
While the official closure is set for March 31, 2024, the
Odyssey Discord server will bid farewell earlier on March 19. Steve Kaczynski, the lead of the NFT program, expressed mixed emotions about this development. Losing his full-time job was undoubtedly a blow, but he's choosing to focus on the silver linings.
Kaczynski took a moment to express gratitude for the incredible
15-month ride alongside one of his all-time favorite brands. However, he made it clear that his future comments won't be tied to Starbucks or the Odyssey program.
But fear not! Starbucks assures its loyal NFT community that they're not forgotten. Plans are underway to create a new space where members can continue to connect and trade their beloved
Odyssey stamps on the Nifty marketplace.
As a parting gift, Starbucks plans to deliver a special surprise via email to its dedicated
Odyssey Level 1 members and beyond at the end of this month. So keep an eye on your inbox for one final treat from the coffee connoisseurs!
