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.

ETH to WETH 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. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas. Verify the exact TRC-20 contract and the Arbitrum representation independently.

WETH wrapped-token output check

WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the destination token on Arbitrum. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Private Route for ETH → WETH

Tron address, token-transfer, contract, and resource activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on Tron to WETH 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.
