Frequently asked questions about funded.dot
For crypto payments, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?
An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.
Will buying funded.dot via priority protect me from future disputes?
Securing funded.dot via a valid SMD establishes your validated-rights claim during launch, which strengthens your position, but it does not waive the registry's or ICANN's separate dispute mechanisms. TMCH priority is launch protection for funded.dot, not a blanket immunity. Use it as a first line of defence. Claim funded.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
Why are payment brands talking about .PAY right now for point-of-sale payments?
For point-of-sale payments, .PAY can be a strong payment-specific brand signal. It does not replace compliance, security or a trusted checkout flow, but it can make the URL purpose obvious. Start with an availability check on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
Can I pre-order a backup name in case funded.dot falls through?
Yes. While funded.dot is uncertain, you can pre-order one or more backup .PAY names on domain.pay at the standard pre-order price of $100 each. Failed pre-order attempts are refundable, so securing a fallback carries limited downside. Place a pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
Is .PAY meant for crypto payments or just for general websites?
.PAY is best understood as a payment-focused domain ending for use cases such as crypto payments, checkout, billing, wallets and fintech. It is not a compliance substitute, but it can make the URL purpose clearer. Check your label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/.
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.
