# Receive MPTs

Incoming MPT transfers are detected automatically by the Ripple Custody indexer. This page describes how MPT receipts are processed.

## Prerequisites

## How MPT receipts work

When Ripple Custody detects an incoming MPT payment, it:

1. **Creates a transaction** — A new transaction record with one or more transfers.
2. **Quarantines the assets** — The tokens are held until you release them.
3. **Updates the account balance** — After release, the balance reflects the new tokens.


## Automatic ticker creation

When an incoming MPT payment is received for a new MPT, Ripple Custody automatically creates a ticker for the MPT. The ticker's `decimals` field is set based on the MPT's `AssetScale`.

## Release quarantined assets

Incoming MPT transfers follow the same quarantine and release process as other assets. For detailed information, see:

- [Receive assets](/products/custody/v1.34/api/accounting/receive-assets) — API guide for incoming transactions.
- [Receive assets (UI)](/products/custody/v1.34/ui/accounting/receive-assets) — UI guide for receiving and releasing assets.
