Frequently asked questions about kuma.dot

When is broader .PAY public registration expected for digital wallets?

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.

What does it mean that .PAY is a top-level domain for kuma.dot?

A top-level domain is the final segment of an address, so in kuma.dot the .PAY is the TLD that sits at the root of the DNS hierarchy. It is on the same level as .com or .org. That makes kuma.dot a fully standard, globally routable name.

For point-of-sale payments, can I transfer a .PAY LRP domain to someone else?

A .PAY name registered during an LRP may be transferred only to a new registrant that fulfills the same LRP eligibility criteria. For registration or pre-order assistance, start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Do not buy or sell LRP names without confirming eligibility.

Does the TMCH charge me anything to enable an SMD for kuma.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse sets its own fees for recording and validating your mark, independent of NicNames's registration pricing for kuma.dot. NicNames's standard pre-order for kuma.dot is listed at $100, separate from any TMCH costs. Plan for both when pursuing priority on kuma.dot. See registrar pricing at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What does the $100 .PAY pre-order cover for a remittance app?

domain.pay lists standard .PAY pre-order service at $100 for a first-day attempt, with separate premium fees if the registry classifies the label as premium. See the current pricing here: https://domain.pay/pricing. Failed attempts are covered by the stated credit/cash-refund options.

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.
