Frequently asked questions about hardened.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration for crypto payments?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Is my hardened.dot priority claim public during the phase?

Trademark-priority claims on hardened.dot are processed under the registry's rules, and the final registration of hardened.dot appears in WHOIS once completed. The SMD itself stays your private credential during the phase. NicNames uses it only to verify your priority on hardened.dot. Register at https://domain.pay/register.

Could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app for a brand-protection manager?

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.

Can I get a refund if my hardened.dot pre-order fails?

Yes. Failed pre-order attempts for hardened.dot are refundable under our stated refund policy, so if the pre-order cannot be fulfilled you are not left out of pocket. Review the full terms and start a pre-order for hardened.dot at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For loan repayments, can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
