Definition and scope
MPT Issuance, Transfer, and Holder Controls addresses a distinct part of issued tokens and trust lines. Survey the permissions and lifecycle operations available to MPT issuers and holders.
Unlike native XRP, most fungible assets on XRPL represent obligations issued by an account. This category explains the trust relationships, flags, controls, and accounting conventions that make issued currencies and newer Multi-Purpose Tokens work. Issued assets depend on their issuer and must not be described as native XRP. Issuer controls apply only to eligible issued balances.
How it works
MPT issuance and holder transactions cover creation, authorization, transfer, locking, destruction, and clawback when enabled at creation. Control availability depends on immutable issuance flags and the actor submitting each transaction.
- MPTokenIssuanceCreate: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- MPTokenAuthorize: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- MPTokenIssuanceSet: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- MPTokenIssuanceDestroy: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
Practical example and checks
A private issuance can require holder authorization, keep a registry of approved accounts, and test lock, transfer, and clawback paths before distributing production assets.
For production use, preserve the exact signed or queried data, record the network and validated ledger reference, and compare the result with the current primary documentation before changing off-ledger state.

No application can add an issuance capability that was not enabled by protocol flags. Control over an MPT does not confer control over a holder's XRP or unrelated assets.
Issued assets depend on their issuer and must not be described as native XRP. Issuer controls apply only to eligible issued balances.
Current network status
Enabled on XRPL Mainnet. MPTokensV1 was enabled on XRPL Mainnet in feature responses from both official public servers at review time. Client and service support can still vary.
Status reviewed 2026-08-23. Amendment-dependent behavior must be rechecked against the network's live feature state before operational use.
