Frequently asked questions about gak.dot

As a crypto or DeFi product, when should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain?

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. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Are there priority phases that let NicNames get gak.dot first?

Yes. Trademark holders can use TMCH-verified SMD files during priority phases to claim gak.dot before general availability. This gives NicNames a structured, legitimate path to secure gak.dot ahead of the open public. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY a good fit for subscription billing for digital wallets?

Yes. A wallet or payment app can use .PAY for a memorable payment-specific entry point. Check candidate labels through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If you own a matching trademark, consider the priority route; otherwise pre-order for broader access.

Is a business registration number needed for gak.dot?

A business registration number is not always mandatory for gak.dot, but the .PAY registry's validation may request entity details depending on your intended use. Individuals may register under different terms. domain.pay tells you what's currently required when you start at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check for point-of-sale payments?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

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.
