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.

Native TRX receipt belongs to a Tron address and can support network resources; tokenized TRX on another ledger cannot supply Tron bandwidth or energy. Verify the exact TRC-20 contract and the Base representation independently.

WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the source token on Base. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
