Tron to zkSync Era: TRC-20 and EVM boundary

A Tron source uses a T-address plus bandwidth and energy accounting; TRX covers resource or fee needs for native or TRC-20 transfer execution. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. Tron and zkSync Era use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

The route changes both asset identity and network representation; dollar-oriented pricing does not remove issuer controls, liquidity spread, contract, or receiving-network checks.
