Frequently asked questions about chainfx.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for fraud prevention?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Is the $100 price for chainfx.dot a one-time or yearly fee?

The $100 standard rate for chainfx.dot is an annual registration fee that recurs each year on renewal for standard labels. Premium chainfx.dot names renew at their higher premium fee instead. Check the recurring cost for chainfx.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for an ecommerce brand?

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.

How do I prove the label in chainfx.dot is mine during priority?

You prove the chainfx.dot string in chainfx.dot is yours by submitting a valid TMCH SMD file whose encoded mark matches that string. NicNames verifies the signed file automatically to grant priority. No other paperwork substitutes for the SMD on chainfx.dot. Provide it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

As a fintech founder, what does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

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.
