Frequently asked questions about actv.dot
Do premium .PAY names cost more than standard names for crypto payments?
Premium .PAY names can carry additional registry retail fees set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay says premium retail can vary by tier, so check the exact label before paying: https://domain.pay/pricing. The pre-order or fast-track fee does not make a premium name standard-priced.
Can holding actv.dot prevent affiliate or partner impersonation?
Owning actv.dot ensures only NicNames controls the official actv.dot payment address, so rogue affiliates or fake partners cannot pose as the genuine payment endpoint. Clear ownership makes unauthorized payment pages easier to flag. https://domain.pay/register
Can an ecommerce brand using Stripe or another processor apply for .PAY in LRP1?
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Can I use my Signed Mark Data file to register actv.dot?
Yes. A valid SMD file from the TMCH lets verified holders of the actv.dot mark claim actv.dot during priority phases ahead of general availability. The SMD proves your rights at registration time, so keep it ready when you pre-order actv.dot. https://domain.pay/pricing
Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for loan repayments?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
