Lorenzo Valente, Director of Digital Asset Research at ARK Invest, compares Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid to three fast food business models: McDonald's, Chipotle, and In-N-Out. Ethereum corresponds to McDonald's franchise and landlord model, which expands through Rollup but does not charge reasonable settlement rent to L2. After EIP-4844, L1 hardly captures value. Solana corresponds to Chipotle's fully direct sales model, where all transactions are executed in L1 and fees remain in the system, with security costs paid through inflation.
