Tron to Arbitrum: TRC-20 and EVM boundary

A Tron source uses a T-address plus bandwidth and energy accounting; TRX covers resource or fee needs for native or TRC-20 transfer execution. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. Tron and Arbitrum 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.

DAI to POL 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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function. Verify the exact TRC-20 contract and the Arbitrum representation independently.

Converting stablecoin DAI into POL

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. The source is a stablecoin contract or recorded native representation, while POL is classified as token. Check the quoted output rather than assuming a one-dollar source unit fixes the destination amount.

Private Route for DAI → POL

Tron address, token-transfer, contract, and resource activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this DAI on Tron to POL on Arbitrum path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side Tron Base58Check address, commonly beginning with T and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
