Frequently asked questions about hiku.dot

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Does hiku.dot availability depend on the launch timeline?

Yes — before general availability, hiku.dot can only be pre-ordered, and reserved or blocked labels stay closed regardless of timeline. Amazon Registry Services controls the schedule. Check where hiku.dot stands in the timeline at https://domain.pay/domains.

What happens to my money if the .PAY registration attempt fails for a mobile wallet team?

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.

How does NicNames verify my SMD signature for hiku.dot?

NicNames checks the cryptographic signature embedded in your SMD against the Trademark Clearinghouse's trust chain before granting priority on hiku.dot. If the signature and mark match the hiku.dot string, the claim proceeds. A broken or mismatched signature blocks priority on hiku.dot. Submit a valid file at https://domain.pay/register.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark for a brand-protection manager?

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.
