Frequently asked questions about bft.dot

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check when choosing crypto.pay?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Does bft.dot require an active website?

bft.dot does not require a live website to register, though the .PAY registry's expectations focus on payment-related, good-faith use. You can secure bft.dot now and build later. domain.pay can register and park it for you; begin at https://domain.pay/register.

Could a lookalike .PAY domain harm customer trust for a bank or credit union?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Will a contested bft.dot affect my pre-order timing?

If bft.dot is contested by multiple applicants at general availability, your first-day pre-order still queues an attempt the moment it opens, and a failed attempt is refundable per policy. Early queuing improves your odds against later applicants. domain.pay manages the timing; see https://domain.pay/pricing.

For crypto payments, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

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.
