Tron to Optimism: 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 OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. Tron and Optimism 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.

ETH to LINK representation change

Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later. Verify the exact TRC-20 contract and the Optimism representation independently.
