What exactly leaves Arbitrum as TRX?
TRX is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 6 decimals at 0x2adefAC87331698F33AD2fBbbd313b444B890eaA. ETH, not TRX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Native TRX can supply Tron bandwidth or energy resources and fees. Tokenized TRX outside Tron follows the source contract ledger.
What exactly arrives on Base as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Base at 0x88fb150bdc53a65fe94dea0c9ba0a6daf8c6e196. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Why does the TRX to LINK direction matter?
Native TRX can supply Tron bandwidth or energy resources and fees. Tokenized TRX outside Tron follows the source contract ledger. On receipt, LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
TRX is the deposited native-asset input; LINK is the quoted token output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
What should be matched before sending TRX?
