Frequently asked questions about cru.dot
For fraud prevention, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?
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.
What is a TMCH SMD file and how does it relate to cru.dot?
A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a proof-of-trademark token from the Trademark Clearinghouse. If you hold the trademark for cru.dot, uploading your SMD file lets you claim cru.dot during the priority window before general pre-orders. domain.pay accepts the SMD file at /register.
Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration when choosing link.pay?
Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.
Which is better for branding, cru.dot.pay or cru.dot.com?
For payments and fintech, cru.dot reads as purpose-built and can be more memorable than a crowded .com, while a .com carries broad familiarity. Many brands secure both and redirect one. Technically they rank and resolve the same, so choose cru.dot based on brand fit, not SEO.
Would trust.pay work as a payment brand for crypto payments?
trust.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.
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.
