# Procuring a Data NFT

You will need the $ITHEUM and $EGLD tokens.

1. [Get $EGLD](https://buy.multiversx.com/)
2. [Get $ITHEUM](https://www.itheum.io/get-itheum)

#### **Step 4) Concluding purchase**

Suppose your Data NFT supports a custom built data visualization application built on [Itheum Explorer](/product-docs/pre-aithra/pre-aithra-apps/itheum-explorer.md) - in that case, you will be shown a "Explore" button that directly takes you to the App page on Itheum Explorer so you can experience the insights or features unlocked by the Data NFT.
