What exactly leaves Optimism as TRX?
TRX is a contract representation on Optimism with 6 decimals at 0xb1aE0a34DC3976d98C1741C92b798dAF8E0e1e11. ETH, not TRX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. Native TRX can supply Tron bandwidth or energy resources and fees. Tokenized TRX outside Tron follows the source contract ledger.
What exactly arrives on Polygon as LINK?
LINK is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x53E0bca35eC356BD5ddDFebbD1Fc0fD03FaBad39. POL, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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?
Native TRX can supply Tron bandwidth or energy resources and fees. Tokenized TRX outside Tron follows the source contract ledger. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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 funds the Optimism source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. TRX is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?
Sending TRX on a network other than Optimism, or using an address that is not valid for Polygon, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap TRX on OP Mainnet to LINK on Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live TRX OP Mainnet to LINK Polygon quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
