Tron to Arbitrum: 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. 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. Tron and Arbitrum use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.
