* **Consumable items** can be used but cannot be traded before minting.
### **2.2. NFT Items**
* NFT items are **non-consumable items** that have been successfully minted.
* Once minted, the item **no longer displays the cloud-shaped icon.**
### **2.3. FT Items**
* FT items are **consumable items** that have been successfully minted.

* After opening the Wallet Inventory, you can transfer and copy SBT items to the Character Inventory, in which they will appear as **Local items**.
* Once copied to the Character Inventory, the same item cannot be copied again.
* If the character is **unlinked**, the copied SBT item will be **deleted**. You cannot transfer SBT items via character trading.
