Just like on any other chain, you will first need the native token to pay for transactions. On Avalanche, you need AVAX tokens. Always ensure you save some AVAX in your wallet.
To get AVAX Tokens into your Wallet you can use any major cryptocurrency exchange, such as Binance, Coinbase or FTX. Purchase some AVAX Tokens and then withdraw those Tokens into your wallet using the exchange withdrawal process. You can view Exchange guides here:
