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 Arbitrum as POL?
POL is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x044d8e7F3A17751D521efEa8CCf9282268fE08CC. ETH, not POL, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. 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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
Why does the TRX to POL direction matter?
Native TRX can supply Tron bandwidth or energy resources and fees. Tokenized TRX outside Tron follows the source contract ledger. On receipt, On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
TRX is the deposited native-asset input; POL 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. 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. On Polygon PoS, native POL can support later gas; a POL contract on another network does not inherit that native function.
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 Arbitrum, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap TRX on OP Mainnet to POL on Arbitrum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live TRX OP Mainnet to POL Arbitrum 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.
