Starbucks Teams Up With Polygon MATIC To Launch Starbucks Odyssey NFT

Coffee giant Starbucks has brewed up a deal with Polygon (MATIC) for their upcoming Starbucks Odyssey NFT platform. The NFT on the Polygon network will feature NFT stamps that will “unlock immersive coffee experiences.”

A Web3 Community for Coffee & NFT Enthusiasts

The Starbucks Odyssey NFT aims to provide a “Third Place” vibe, like a cozy stop between work and home or vice versa. For this, multiple coffee-related NFT collectibles will be released. As Brady Brewer, the Executive Vice President and CMO, puts it: “Our vision is to create a place where our digital community can come together over coffee, engage in immersive experiences, and celebrate the heritage and future of Starbucks.”

The launch of Starbucks Odyssey hasn’t happened yet, but Polygon (MATIC) says that anyone can join the waitlist starting on September 12, 2022. When Ryan Butz, the VP of Loyalty at Starbucks, was asked why the coffee titan chose Polygon (MATIC), the answer was a piece of cake: “We took a very thoughtful and thorough approach when evaluating which blockchain to utilize, and Polygon’s fast, low-cost, and carbon-neutral network is the perfect foundation for our first digital community.”
