BTC, ERC20 and TRC20: why the network matters
Three labels that should never be treated as interchangeable when discussing crypto transfers.
BTC, ERC20 and TRC20: why the network matters
Bitcoin uses its own network and address conventions. Ethereum ERC20 tokens and TRON TRC20 tokens belong to different blockchain ecosystems. A label such as USDT is not enough on its own to identify the correct destination network.
For the GHB simulation, the ERC20 and TRC20 assets are clearly identified as testnet stand-ins, not genuine USDT issued by Tether. Bitcoin activity is also confined to test-network workflows.
A careful interface shows asset, network, recipient address and fee together before any transfer. Education about wrong-network risk is as important as the visual design.
