For fraud prevention, what should trademark counsel do before July 20, 2026 for .PAY?

Why is a .PAY address like adap.dot a high-value target for fraudsters?
Because .PAY signals a payment context, adap.dot carries built-in credibility that fraudsters exploit to make fake checkout pages believable.

Where should I check whether a .PAY name fits my online checkout project for a crypto or DeFi product?
.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For online checkout, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts. Re-check the name before publishing campaigns because registry status can change.
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.
