Frequently asked questions about etching.dot
As a crypto or DeFi product, how do I register tap.pay if it matches my trademark?
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.
When should trademark holders submit etching.dot?
Trademark holders should submit etching.dot during the sunrise phase, within the registry's published window, to claim it before general availability opens. domain.pay handles the etching.dot submission so you do not miss it. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.
For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
What canonical URL should I set for pages on etching.dot?
Each page on etching.dot should declare a self-referencing canonical link to its preferred URL, using a single consistent scheme, host, and trailing-slash style. This prevents duplicate-content confusion across www, non-www, and parameter variants of etching.dot. Keep canonicals absolute and HTTPS.
What are good .PAY domain ideas for loan repayments?
For loan repayments, brainstorm short, action-oriented .PAY labels and then verify them in the domain.pay catalog/search: https://domain.pay/domains. Good candidates are clear, memorable and tied to payment actions like checkout, billing, wallet funding, payouts or invoices.
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.
