I'm wondering if MetaMask, as a popular
Ethereum wallet, supports the TRC20 token standard which is based on the TRON network. This is important for me to know as I'm considering transferring some TRC20 tokens and want to ensure compatibility with my MetaMask wallet.

The reason for this restriction lies in the underlying technology of the two blockchain networks.

USDT tokens on the
Ethereum network, known as ERC-20 tokens, are designed to operate specifically within the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem.

Conversely, USDT tokens on the Tron network, referred to as TRC-20 tokens, are tailored for use within the Tron blockchain.

USDT cannot be transferred directly from a Metamask wallet to a Tronlink wallet.

Due to these incompatible blockchain protocols, a direct transfer between the two wallets is not feasible.
