On April 19th: Starbucks is launching their 2nd NFT collection through Odyssey (their Web3 loyalty platform).
Stats include:
Total quantity: 5,000 unique Stamps
Purchase limit: 1 per Starbucks Odyssey account
Points: 1,500 per Stamp
Price: $100
Their 1st drop retailed at $100, and the floor is $540 (shown below), so this new collection also has good potential.
For anyone who signed up for the Waitlist when we mentioned it in late February in this post, you should be eligible for the upcoming drop (if you have 2 stamps).
And if you haven’t signed up to the waitlist yet, you should! It’s very fast to fill out the form.
For TFC Rewards Club members this weekend, we’ll be covering an update just released in the Odyssey gated discord and why we’re very bullish on the future of the program from the loyalty side. Be on the lookout for that.

Fire
"Feeling unsafe transacting on web3? You’re not alone."
Type of Product: Security
Purpose of Tool: Fire is an extension for Ethereum wallets that simplifies the process of signing smart contracts by providing a visual simulation of what will occur when the contract is signed. It allows users to retain control of their wallet while catching signature requests from the browser, running simulations, and displaying the results.
We’ve covered Fire in the past, but they raised $3.5M last week and are worth looking at again. They’ve done a number of updates to the platform since last time as well.
Compatible with any Ethereum wallet – Fire works with any Ethereum wallet, allowing users to access its features with ease.
Security – Fire scans contracts prior to being signed to ensure that users are not transferring money out of their wallet without receiving anything in return or setting approvals that could potentially be harmful.
Visual Simulation – Fire provides a human-readable format of the smart contract level transactions that occur when the contract is signed, making the process easier to understand and follow.
Team / Funding / Backers / Other Info: On April 11, 2023, Fire was able to secure $3.5 million from Atomic in funding. The Fire extension is on its way to becoming a mainstay in the market, as it has already protected nearly 50,000 wallets across Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and Arbitrum.
