# Funding Your Transaction Costs

In order to claim tokens from your NFT you'll need a small amount of Ethereum (ETH) in your wallet to cover the transaction fees — otherwise known as "*Gas"*.

It will only require a tiny amount, typically less than a few dollars, however **it's important that the ETH is on the *****Arbitrum***** network**. 

If you don't have any, this guide will walk you through buying some on [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/)—although it can be purchased through other services too—and sending it to your wallet on the Arbitrum One network, so you are ready to claim your tokens.

The example shown here are using Coinbase's desktop UI, but the the process will be similar on their mobile app too.
