Frequently asked questions about kdc.dot

For BNPL checkout, is .PAY Sunrise first-come, first-served for trademark holders?

.PAY Sunrise is a Start-Date Sunrise, so eligible trademark registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when policy requirements are met. Start the request at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Waiting can increase the risk that another eligible party gets the matching label first.

Does kdc.dot get a trademark claims notice during registration?

When a name like kdc.dot matches a TMCH-recorded mark, registrants attempting it can receive a trademark claims notice flagging the existing rights. This warns non-owners before they proceed with kdc.dot. The mechanism relies on the same TMCH data behind SMD priority. Learn more and register at https://domain.pay/register.

For online checkout, what is the quickest path to secure a .PAY domain for a crypto or DeFi product?

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.

What if I lost the SMD file I need for kdc.dot?

If you misplaced the SMD file for claiming kdc.dot, you re-download it from your Trademark Clearinghouse account, where active records expose the current .smd. There is no need to re-validate the mark as long as the TMCH record is active. Retrieve it, then claim kdc.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window for a bank or credit union?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

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.
