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. Base and Tron 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.

USDT to DAI representation change

The input must match the selected ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, or other USDT representation; each standard has different address, approval, and fee behavior. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path. Verify the exact TRC-20 contract and the Base representation independently.

USDT and DAI: two stablecoin ledgers

USDT is issued through ERC-20, TRC-20, SPL, and other network-specific contracts. The ticker does not determine the token standard, contract, issuer controls, or destination address model. DAI is a crypto-backed dollar-oriented stablecoin whose canonical and bridged contracts vary by network. Its peg design does not make two network representations interchangeable. The route changes both asset identity and network representation; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.
