The Sugar Rush

When we quietly opened the Odyssey waitlist a few days ago, we genuinely didn’t know what to expect. Maybe 500 signups if things went well. A small group of early supporters, a few familiar faces from the community, and a quiet ramp into our beta phase.

Instead, over 10,000 of you showed up.

It’s been incredible to watch the response, not just numbers on a dashboard, but real users asking for access, joining the Discord, and showing love on X. The energy has been electric, and it’s made one thing very clear… Odyssey has struck a chord.

Rethinking Early Access

Originally, we planned to only open early access to the first 500 users who joined the waitlist. These early supporters were going to receive:

• A 2,500 calorie boost (our version of points on the leaderboard)

• A referral bonus multiplier

• And a custom early access Discord role (originally called “Early Adopter” but now appropriately named “Sugar Rush”)

Then, as the numbers kept climbing, we expanded access to 2,000 users (just access, not rewards). We figured it was the fairest way to give more people access without diluting the value of early action.

But now, with 10k+ signups and growing demand, it’s time to rethink our approach.

Introducing The Sugar Rush

The Sugar Rush is our response to the insane growth and a way to make early access more open without sacrificing the rewards for taking action. Here’s how it works:

We’re going to give early access to all waitlist signups. That’s right, everyone who joined the waitlist will get access to the Odyssey beta earlier than everyone else.

However, only the first 500 users who take action, meaning they connect to the app, spin up a Loopr strategy, and start earning points, will receive the early reward package. In short, it’s not just about being early anymore; it’s about being first to move.

That’s the Sugar Rush.

Why We’re Doing This

This community has shown up in a way we didn’t expect, and it didn’t feel right to gate early access behind a strict number. You’re here, you’re excited, and we want you in.

But at the same time, we want to reward the real ones, the people who don’t just sign up and disappear but actually dive in, take a chance, and use the product.

This early phase is about finding the builders, the testers, and the curious degens who want to go deeper. The Sugar Rush helps us separate noise from signal, and gives those who really show up a little extra firepower on the leaderboard.

What’s Next?

When beta opens up to the waitlisted users, the Odyssey leaderboard will go live at the same time, so you can start stacking calories and securing your place in the rankings earlier than anyone else.

Then, just a few days after the Sugar Rush begins, we will open access to the wider public, waitlist or not. This means you get a head start and bonus points (assuming you are one of the first 500).

Psst: Odyssey’s Ambassador (Obeessador) program just opened. If you would like to apply, you can do so here.

Final Thoughts

We’re building Odyssey for the long haul, and we want to bring the right people with us. The Sugar Rush is a thank you to everyone who showed up early, and a challenge to those ready to take the next step.

Connect. Loop. Climb the leaderboard.

The race is about to begin. See you in the top 500.
