Coffee retailer Starbucks announced that its rewards program that lets customers collect NFT stamps will end, giving way to new initiatives. The “Odyssey Beta program” — a Starbucks rewards program allowing customers to play coffee-related games in return for NFTs — will shut down on March 31.
However, the coffee company said that the Odyssey marketplace, where users trade digital stamps, will transition into a Nifty Marketplace where users can continue to buy and sell stamps.
