zkSync Era to Tron: TRC-20 and EVM boundary

A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. A Tron receipt belongs to a T-address as native TRX or the quoted TRC-20 contract; later activity consumes Tron resources or TRX fees. zkSync Era and Tron use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

TRX resources and Tron address check

TRX is the native gas asset for Tron. Tron Base58Check address, commonly beginning with T A TRC-20 token transfer is not an ERC-20 transfer even when an asset ticker exists on both sides.

USDC to USDC representation change

The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset. Verify the exact TRC-20 contract and the zkSync Era representation independently.

USDC keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on zkSync Era. The zkSync Era side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native USDC exists on one recorded origin network; other network forms require representation checks. The dollar-oriented ticker does not make USDC contracts interchangeable across networks. USDC is classified as a stablecoin for this route. USDC uses a network-specific contract asset on Tron. The recorded Tron representation uses 6 decimal places.
