# TON for Transaction Fees

Before making your deposit, you'll need a small amount of TON tokens to pay for blockchain transaction fees (like paying a small processing fee when using an ATM).

**How Much You Need:** Usually just $1-3 worth of TON is enough for multiple transactions.

### **Two Easy Ways to Get TON:**

**Option 1: Buy Directly in Your Wallet** Most wallets like Tonkeeper or @wallet let you buy TON directly with your debit card. Look for a "Buy TON" or "Add" button in your wallet app.

**Option 2: Transfer from an Exchange** If you already use crypto exchanges like Binance, OKX, or Bybit, you can buy TON there and send it to your wallet.

**Important:** You need TON in the same wallet where you'll make your FIVA deposit.

**Good News:** We're working on removing this requirement entirely, so future users won't need to worry about transaction fees. But for now, this small step ensures your deposit goes through smoothly.

**Don't Worry:** Your wallet will tell you if you don't have enough TON for fees, so you can't accidentally get stuck.
