Frequently asked questions about horizon.dot

As a brand-protection manager, could I use .PAY for a wallet or payment app?

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.

What is an SMD file and why does horizon.dot need it for sunrise?

An SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is the cryptographic proof of a TMCH-validated trademark required to register horizon.dot during sunrise. Without it, the registry rejects sunrise applications. domain.pay uses your SMD to submit horizon.dot, as explained at https://domain.pay/register.

How do I choose between trademark fast-track and pre-order when choosing instant.pay?

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.

How is premium different from reserved for horizon.dot?

For horizon.dot, premium means the registry allows registration but at a higher wholesale price, while reserved means Amazon Registry Services has withheld it from registration entirely. One is buyable at a special price; the other isn't open at all. Confirm which applies to horizon.dot — status can change — at https://domain.pay/domains.

What happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY for point-of-sale payments?

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.

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.
