Frequently asked questions about interlock.dot

Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for a bank or credit union?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

What is a Signed Mark Data file in the context of interlock.dot?

Signed Mark Data (SMD) is the cryptographically signed file the TMCH issues to prove your validated trademark. For interlock.dot, it is the credential NicNames checks to grant trademark priority on the interlock.dot string. It encodes the mark, its dates, and a signature. Use it to claim interlock.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

For crypto payments, what is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Should I secure interlock.dot before announcing a new payment product?

Yes. Announcing a payment product can alert opportunists to register interlock.dot before you do, so securing the interlock.dot name first is wise. A $100 refundable pre-order lets NicNames lock interlock.dot ahead of any public reveal. https://domain.pay/register

Are short .PAY names always available for loan repayments?

Short .PAY names are attractive but can be registered, premium, reserved or blocked. Do not assume availability from length alone. Search at domain.pay and verify before building a campaign: https://domain.pay/domains.

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.
