Frequently asked questions about distinct.dot

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for a crypto or DeFi product?

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 the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering distinct.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register distinct.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of distinct.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I reserve crypto.pay before broader registration opens for an insurance billing portal?

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.

How does impersonation on distinct.dot differ from email spoofing?

Email spoofing fakes a sender, while controlling distinct.dot lets an attacker run a whole fraudulent payment site under the real distinct.dot name. The domain-level attack is harder to detect and more convincing, so denying it by owning distinct.dot is a high-value protection for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register

For crypto payments, is .PAY already open to everyone?

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.

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.
