TRX is the native coin of the TRON (TRX) network. People use it to pay network fees and to stake. Tron began as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and moved to its own chain in 2018.
Use a wallet that supports the Tron network, not an Ethereum address. A TRC-20 token also needs a Tron-compatible wallet. Check the receive network before you send funds.
