In 2017, Burger King Russia created WhopperCoin on the Waves blockchain — you earned coins for every ruble spent and could trade them for burgers or resell them. By 2019, trading volume had dropped to zero.

The project never expanded beyond Russia and ended up as just another experiment from the 2017 crypto frenzy, when brands of every kind tried to jump on the bandwagon without a clear plan for what to do once they got there.
