Frequently asked questions about desc.dot

How do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark for fraud prevention?

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.

Should a wallet app choose desc.dot as its primary domain?

A wallet app can choose desc.dot as a primary or campaign domain because .PAY directly signals payments and keeps desc.dot short and on-theme. Whether it becomes primary is your branding decision. Reserve desc.dot for your wallet at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Can a startup register desc.dot without licensing?

A startup may often register desc.dot without holding a financial license, since .PAY does not blanket-require licensing for registration. If the startup later runs regulated payments, separate licensing may apply under local law. domain.pay can confirm current eligibility at https://domain.pay/register.

When should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain for payroll disbursements?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use 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.
