Frequently asked questions about ast.dot

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for crypto payments?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Can I get ast.dot if it clears sunrise without a buyer?

If ast.dot is not claimed during sunrise, it proceeds to general availability where you can register it. Pre-ordering ast.dot now means domain.pay submits it the moment that phase opens, ahead of others. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

What should I do first if I want a .PAY domain for mobile money?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

Is ast.dot more sensitive to abuse because .PAY implies payments?

Yes. A payment-purpose TLD like .PAY raises anti-phishing and trust considerations because users reasonably expect ast.dot to handle money. That heightened trust is valuable to your NicNames but also attractive to scammers, so owning ast.dot protects both you and your customers. https://domain.pay/

Is registering .PAY a replacement for trademark monitoring for secure payment links?

No. Registering .PAY is not a replacement for trademark monitoring, takedowns or fraud controls. It can still reduce customer confusion around your official payment destination. Start by checking key names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
