Frequently asked questions about grassroot.dot

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for crypto payments?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Will a typo variation of my mark let me claim grassroot.dot?

Trademark priority on grassroot.dot requires the SMD-encoded mark to match the grassroot.dot string under TMCH rules, so a typo or near-variation generally will not qualify. Only the validated mark matching grassroot.dot unlocks priority. If it does not match, your remaining route is a standard pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For BNPL checkout, can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now?

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.

Why is an SMD more secure than just emailing my trademark certificate for grassroot.dot?

An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on grassroot.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why grassroot.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a trademark owner register a matching .PAY domain now for a fintech founder?

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.

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.
