Tron to zkSync Era: 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. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Tron and zkSync Era use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

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.

Receiving stablecoin USDC

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 destination wallet must support the exact zkSync Era representation. The route converts a native-asset source into a stablecoin balance; the destination ticker alone is not a contract check.
