Frequently asked questions about keeping.dot

As a crypto or DeFi product, when should a crypto or DeFi product pre-order a .PAY domain?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Re-confirm dates before publishing if the registry updates its schedule.

Is there a risk my SMD leaks if I share it to claim keeping.dot?

Treat your SMD like a credential: only submit it through the trusted NicNames flow when claiming keeping.dot, not over casual channels. While it encodes validated mark data, careless sharing is poor practice. Use the official registration path for keeping.dot to keep it safe. Begin at https://domain.pay/register.

What is a .PAY domain and why does it matter for crypto payments?

.PAY is a payment-focused top-level domain operated by Amazon Registry Services. For crypto payments, it can make the payment purpose of a URL clearer than a generic address. Check or pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/. domain.pay handles the customer path for trademark-priority registration or first-day pre-order attempts.

Does a failed keeping.dot pre-order affect my future pricing?

No. A refunded, failed pre-order on keeping.dot does not change the rate you would pay on a later attempt; pricing still follows the registry tier for keeping.dot. Each keeping.dot order is priced independently at the time you place it. Re-check the rate at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Is .PAY already open to everyone when choosing subscriptions.pay?

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.
