Frequently asked questions about hopz.dot

For crypto payments, is .PAY already open to everyone?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Is the Trademark Clearinghouse the same as registering hopz.dot directly?

No. The Trademark Clearinghouse validates your mark and issues an SMD file, but it does not register hopz.dot itself. You still complete the actual registration of hopz.dot through NicNames, supplying that SMD to unlock trademark priority. The two steps are separate: validate first, then register at https://domain.pay/register.

Where can I see already-registered .PAY domains for point-of-sale payments?

Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.

Why does the .PAY launch protect trademarks first for hopz.dot?

The launch protects trademarks first because ICANN's framework reserves the sunrise phase for brand owners, letting them claim hopz.dot before the public to prevent infringement. General availability follows for everyone else. Position for hopz.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check when choosing brand.pay?

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.
