Linea to Tron: TRC-20 and EVM boundary

A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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. Linea and Tron use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

DAI to USDC representation change

DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. 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 Linea representation independently.

DAI and USDC: two stablecoin ledgers

DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. USDC is an issued dollar-oriented stablecoin with canonical, native, and bridged variants across networks. Contract events and issuer controls differ from a network-native gas asset. The route changes both asset identity and network representation; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.
