# Characters

There are three main categories of characters available in Battle Blitz: free, paid and limited edition. Free characters are the ones available to everyone. Paid characters are available to everyone for purchase as an in-app purchase. Limited Edition characters are only available through specific releases outside of the in-app purchase system. Paid and Limited Edition characters are ERC-1155 semi-fungible tokens and are tradable to other players, while free characters are not NFTs.

Blockchain based character skins allow players to have true ownership and the ability to trade their assets. This is a significant shift from traditional games where in-game purchases are permanently locked to a player’s account. The ERC-1155 standard is particularly advantageous for gaming, as it enables the issuance of multiple copies of the same skin, while maintaining the uniqueness of each through individual identifiers.
