Starbucks to launch its web3-based rewards programme

Starbucks will unveil its web3 initiative, which includes coffee-themed NFTs, at next month’s Investor Day event. The company announced its plans to enter the web3 space earlier this year, stating that its NFTs would not only serve as digital collectibles, but would also provide owners with access to exclusive content and other perks.

Starbucks was tight-lipped about what its first set of NFTs would look like, what specific features they’d offer, or even what blockchain it was building on at the time. It hinted that the plan would be multichain or chain-agnostic, implying that it had not yet been finalised. Overall, the coffee retailer kept its web3 news relatively low-key, stating simply that it believed digital collectibles could create an accretive business adjustment to its stores and that more information would be revealed later in 2022.

He read the original 1982 novel by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) as a boy and excitedly went to theaters in 1987 to see the film version, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wright enjoyed the adaptation but was a little let down by just how different it was from the novel. Years later, after he’d become a successful… Source link
