# Depositing into Junior Tranche (Buying Junior Tokens)

When you make a deposit into the Junior Tranches, you will receive corresponding Junior Tokens named CDO\_v\[Token] (see [here](https://cdo-finance.gitbook.io/cdo-finance/user-guide/custom-tokens-on-metamask) how to add Junior Tokens to your MetaMask wallet). Hence, a deposit into the Junior Tranche can be considered as buying Junior Tokens.

* Go to CDO.Finance's Tranche Pools page (<https://cdo.finance/tranche-pools>)
