Base to Tron: TRC-20 and EVM boundary

A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. 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.
